Legacies on the Landscape

Part of: Existing tDAR Resources

Legacies on the Landscape was a collaborative, interdisciplinary project led by Arizona State University from 2004 to 2016. Working closely with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, the Legacies project undertook archaeological and ecological research at a number of prehistoric sites in the Perry Mesa region of central Arizona. Studies were focused on understanding the long-term human impacts on the landscape. The project's research area fell largely within the Agua Fria National Monument and Tonto National Forest.
