Binding: Paperback

Condition: 6 copies.  Copies 1-4 (PC25):  Good.  As new.  All copies contain maps in pocket at rear.  Copy 5 (PC25): Fair.  Binding tight.  No marks, tears, folds.  Upper front cover corner has an approx. 1/2″ bend.  Lower front cover corner has an approx. 2″ bend.  Previous owner’s name in ink on upper corner title page.  The map pocket at rear has caused wear to the lower rear cover edge and a few pages from the end.    Copy 6 (D): Poor to Fair. The binding is tight, but there are tears to front and rear cover spine edges, both upper and lower. The tears, ranging from 2″ to 5″, were caused by the combination of handling and the map pocket at rear (including 7 maps and diagrams). I’ve applied tape to the spine and front and rear spine edges to keep the covers from splitting further. No marks. It looks like it has been dropped at least once. One approx. 1″ bend to upper front cover corner, extends through first 10 pages or so.  Smudging to bottom text block. Edge and corner wear.

Notes: Museum of Northern Arizona Bulletin No. 45, Glen Canyon Series No. 8.  On the northern portion of the Rainbow Plateau in southern Utah 228 sites were surveyed (from the Pueblo II-III period), and 18 excavated.  Two sites, Sand Dune Cave and Dust Devil Cave, “…yielded remains of an occupation dating between 6000 and 5000 B.C. by a people with a hunting and gathering economy, named the Desha Complex.”  (from the Abstract)
