description: The Transwestern Pipeline Expansion Project resulted in the discovery of 448 archeological sites and 174 current cultural resources, along a series of discontinuous pipeline transects and ancillary work areas between the San Juan River Valley near Bloomfield, New Mexico, and the Colorado River Valley, near Needles, California. One hundred and sixty-seven of the sites were excavated, while 51 of the current cultural resources were the subject of intensive ethnological investigations. Three overarching research topics were at the core of the project: identifying the prehistoric, historic, and contemporary communities represented by the sites and current properties; understanding their boundaries; and analyzing the cultural variation contained within them. Project artifact analysts, environmental specialists, site excavation directors, ethnologists, and administrative staff developed more specific research questions, but all issues were connected in one way or another with the three interrelated topics, which have also been used to organize this volume. This is the twentieth and final in a series of reports that describes and interprets the sites and current resources affected by the construction of the pipeline.
