Managing Between Earth and Sky: Forested Landscape Cultural Resource Management in the Jemez Mountains

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of the Eastern Jemez Mountain Range and the Pajarito Plateau: Interagency Collaboration for Management of Cultural Landscapes" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Human use of the Santa Fe National Forest extends well back into the past. This use remains unbroken from the earliest occupation of the land by humans into the present. Unlike many other areas there has been no hiatus of human use. The ties of modern American Indian populations, the earliest of European occupations in the western United States and conquest and occupation by eastern American populations have all made their mark on the lands of the Santa Fe resulting in a dense and complicated archaeological record. This record provides challenges and opportunities for land managers seeking to meet the demands of local populations for traditional resources and facing the pressures of increasing visitation. This portrays the history of cultural resource management on the Santa Fe National Forest and presents trends in historic preservation on the Forest in collaboration with tribes, local communities and interest groups.
