Creating Context: How Developing Local Relationships Enriches Archaeological Knowledge

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Partners at Work: Promoting Archaeology and Collaboration in the Chiricahua Mountains" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

While the Chiricahua Mountains are a part of the Sky Islands, Fort Bowie NHS and Chiricahua NM are not islands unto themselves--their rich archaeological past exists within the broader context of the landscape. In an area that has received little study compared to the rest of the American Southwest, it has been imperative for the NPS to develop and strengthen local relationships between private landowners and other land management agencies so that the bigger picture can become more clear. This poster explores some of this recently shared knowledge and developed context from within the northern portion of the Chiricahua Mountains.
