Legacies on the Landscape: Agricultural Production on Perry Mesa, Agua Fria National Monument

This document presents the scope of work proposed for Spring 2005 at Agua Fria National Monument. The research is one phase of an on-going project concerned with the long-term effects of prehistoric agriculture on contemporary ecosystem structure and function at Agua Fria National Monument (see Kruse et al. 2004; Schollmeyer 2004; Schollmeyer et al. 2004). Accompanying this document is a copy of our recently submitted NSF proposal that provides more detail on the overall research plan. This spring we intend to focus primarily on agricultural field reconnaissance, as discussed on p. 7 of the proposal.
