7. Archeological Survey of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument. Archeological Inventory and Evaluation of Curecanti National Recreation Area. Stiger, Mark A. and Scott L. Carpenter

An archeological survey of the National Monument was conducted with the intention of producing an archeological base map of the Monument in compliance with Executive Order 11593. The inventory resulting from the survey provides the opportunity to consider archeological resources in the planning of future developments in the Monument. The information provided by the survey will contribute to the understanding of the regional archeology and will enable researchers and managers to better understand which cultural resources are significant in the area of the Monument. Further, this information should result in a data base that will be useful to Park Service planners and managers who must provide the necessary improvements for the Monument without endangering significant archeological resources.
