Author(s): Cheryl Blanchard

Year: 2019

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Transcending Boundaries and Exploring Pasts: Current Archaeological Investigations of the Arizona-Sonora Borderlands" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages nearly a million acres of public lands near the Arizona-Sonora borderlands. Most of the area is remote back-country that has a long and interesting cultural history. Volunteers, cultural staff members, and researchers have all played important roles in trying to understand and protect the cultural heritage sites that are associated with the many cultural traditions represented here. The landscape, the diversity of site types, and the stories of the people are only just beginning to be understood.
