Surveying Montezuma Canyon

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Research in Montezuma Canyon, San Juan County, Utah" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper presents the history of archaeological surveys by Brigham Young University in upper and middle Montezuma Canyon during the latter half of the 20th Century. The sequence, methods, context and goals of those various inventories are briefly presented, followed by a brief discussion of salient results and patterns of aboriginal settlement and occupation in the canyon. Lastly, we present an idea of our research orientation from here forward, as we work toward a canyon-wide summation of what has been learned about the Montezuma Canyon drainage during BYU’s work there in the 20th Century.
