Part of the Dolores Archaeological Program project

Year: 1986

Summary

The Dolores Project was a large water-impoundment project constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation in southwestern Colorado. From 1978 until 1985 the University of Colorado contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation (Contract No. 8-07-40-S0562) to mitigate the adverse effects of the Dolores Project on the cultural resources in the project area; Washington State University was the major subcontractor. The mitigation program was called the Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP). This volume presents the final synthetic work of the DAP. Included are analytical results, the prehistory of the Dolores area, and an assessment of Anasazi cultural dynamics from A.D. 600 to 980. If you want summary information on or an overview of the DAP, this is the place to start.
