Leaving It Where It Lays: How Noninvasive Archaeology Has Contributed to Recent Findings on the Shivwits Plateau

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology of the Virgin Branch Puebloan Region" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The landscape of archaeological research is rapidly changing in the United States which requires a paradigm shift in how we (as archaeologists) conduct our trade. This poster recounts the major successes that non-invasive survey methods have produced for researchers on the far southern Shivwits Plateau of northern Arizona. Focusing on the Virgin Branch Puebloan period of occupation, we highlight the wealth of information that has been gathered through infield analyses conducted at archaeological sites in the area and make suggestions on how archaeologists can become better stewards of the past amidst changing professional and policy norms.
