Systematic Survey

description: This project was undertaken to provide a partial inventory and assessment of cultural resources in the Grand Canyon Adjacent Lands study area. This area, illustrated in Figure 1, includes portions of Kanab, Whitmore, Parashant, and Andrus Canyons and a part of the Shivwits Plateau, all located in the part of northwest Arizona known as the Arizona Strip. The study area was divided into western (Shivwits) and eastern (Kanab) survey areas.
Archeological survey was carried out in June and July 1977 and involved a total of 248 person days. Two hundred and twelve small transects, placed at statistical random, were inspected. Less than 1 percent of the study area's 730 square miles was covered by this method. Additional coverage of about 5 percent of the area was provided by helicopter inspection.
At 171 locations, indications of past human occupation were found; these included historic and prehistoric sites and isolated artifacts. Seven historic mines and ranches were recorded, as well as four prehistoric sites with above-ground masonry walls. Many of the sites are primarily lithic scatters, interpreted as prehistoric rock quarries, chipping stations, and camping sites. Cliff granaries, ceramic sherd scatters, and rock art were also found.
The original tDAR metadata record for this report included only citation information added to tDAR from data in the National Archeological Database (NADB).  In 2019, a digital copy of the report was found in the ASU Libraries institutional data repository.  The metadata for the report was enhanced and the report file added to tDAR.
