Archeological Survey of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument and Archeological Inventory and Evaluation of Curecanti Recreation Area

The survey and research work conducted at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Recreation Area and Curecanti Recreation Area are clear examples of how meagre beginnings can develop into a fruitful, long-range program designed on the one hand to meet National Park Service management needs, and on the other hand to provide an understanding of an area prehistory following a program designed to answer a series of questions about the culture history and adaptive patterns in a particular area.
