Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Over the past several years, there has been intensive focus in the archaeology of the Chiricahua Mountains by federal land management agencies and various partners, public and private. This has resulted in new data and in new opportunities for collaboration. This poster session explores the results of those collaborations across disciplines and the public/private realm, and ongoing efforts to strengthen community relationships.
