Klamath Basin Petroglyphs

The following study is the result of an appraisal of the petroglyph resources of the Klamath basin, in southwestern Oregon, conducted by the Klamath County Museum from 1959 to 1961. For purposes of this paper the Klamath Basin is defined as the watershed of the Klamath River on the east slope of the Cascade Mountains plus the Lost River interior drainage basin, an area of about 1000 square miles. This area closely corresponds to the territory historically inhabited by the Klamath-Modoc Indians.

The Archives of Archaeology Series is a 29-volume set jointly published by the University of Wisconsin Press and the Society for American Archaeology on opaque microcards, a now obsolete format. The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin—La Crosse has digitized the original opaque microcards and made the digital copies available through tDAR. More information on the process of digitizing the series can be found in Joseph Tiffany’s 2012 article entitled "Digitizing the Archives of Archaeology Series" in the SAA Archaeological Record (http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770).

本项研究为1959年至1961年间由克拉马斯县博物馆（Klamath County Museum）针对俄勒冈州西南部克拉马斯盆地岩画资源开展的评估工作成果。本文所界定的克拉马斯盆地，涵盖喀斯喀特山脉东坡克拉马斯河流域与洛斯河内陆排水盆地，总面积约1000平方英里。该区域与克拉马斯-莫多克印第安人（Klamath-Modoc Indians）历史上的栖息领地高度契合。

《考古档案丛书》（Archives of Archaeology Series）由威斯康星大学出版社（University of Wisconsin Press）与美国考古学会（Society for American Archaeology，简称SAA）联合出版，全套共29卷，载体为现已淘汰的不透明微缩胶片（opaque microcards）。威斯康星大学拉克罗斯分校密西西比河谷考古中心已将原始不透明微缩胶片完成数字化处理，并通过tDAR平台提供数字副本获取服务。有关该丛书数字化流程的更多详情，可查阅约瑟夫·蒂凡尼（Joseph Tiffany）2012年发表于《SAA考古记录》（SAA Archaeological Record）的文章《数字化〈考古档案丛书〉》，链接为http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=113770。
