Notes: The second volume in the series, produced to provide the Bureau of Reclamation with a mechanism for evaluating the DAP results, primarily for budgeting and planning decisions. Administrative rather than research. During six field seasons (1978-1983), Dolores Archaeological Program (DAP) archaeologists surveyed and recorded 1,626 archaeological sites on 16,000+ acres in the project area. They excavated 125 sites, and collected more than 1.5 million artifacts–including historic glass bottles, a prehistoric bone tool kit, and thousands of ceramic vessels and fragments. The Canyon of the Ancients Visitors Center and Museum was constructed to house and protect the DAP artifacts and records.
