Notes: Intermountain Cultural Resources Management Professional Paper No. 70.   Report on Phase One of a three phase project.   “The survey results demonstrate that the archeology of El Malpais follows many of the general patterns found throughout this region.  Population density prior in historic times rises to its highest levels between A.D. 1050 and the early to middle 1100s, displaying the same trend as many other area on the southern Colorado Plateau….Sites that are typically found with Chaco-style great houses-including small pueblos, great kivas, roads, field houses, and petroglyphs –were recorded by the survey….The survey results also demonstrate how utterly different the archeological record of El Malpais National Monument is compared to the surrounding region.”  (From the Introduction).
