Archaeologies of the Eastern Jemez Mountain Range and the Pajarito Plateau: Interagency Collaboration for Management of Cultural Landscapes

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Archaeologies of the Eastern Jemez Mountain Range and the Pajarito Plateau: Interagency Collaboration for Management of Cultural Landscapes," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Jemez Mountain range and the Pajarito Plateau are located on the southern-most portion of the Colorado Plateau in northwestern New Mexico. The landscape is both environmentally and culturally diverse. The region encompasses a 10,000-year cultural history of the peoples who have inhabited and manipulated this landscape for survival and cultural expression. A wide range of agencies help manage this landscape, including but not limited to Tribal governments, the Department of the Interior (National Park Service), the Department of Agriculture (U.S. Forest Service), and the Department of Energy (Los Alamos National Laboratory). This poster session incorporates the interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of cultural resource management in the eastern Jemez Mountains and on the Pajarito Plateau. This session also explores the archaeological intricacies of managing compliance-driven research, preservation, stabilization and inventory.
