UTAH ARCHEOLOGY is published quarterly by the Utah Statewide Archeological Society. Correspondence should be directed to.: Utah Statewide Archeological Society, P.O. Box 98 9 Moab, Utah
EDITOR'S NOTES The Society: A constitution and by-laws for the Utah Statewide. Archeological Society have been drafted by its officers and are included in this issue of the newsletter. Each -member . of . the Society is asked to vote on the constitution ~nd bylaws by marking the attached ballot and returning it to the Secretary before March 1, 1960. It is sugge~ted that all members read the proposed constitution and by~laws carefully to note proposed changes in the organization. ,
The Newsletter: This is the last issue of UTAH ARCHEOLOGY to be prepared on the University of Utah campus. Starfing with Volume six James H. Gunnerson will turn over the editor's j6b to Lloyd Pierson of Arches National Monument, Moao, Utah. Rumor has it that the new editor has a number of ideas which should improve the newsletter. This Issue: The article by your editor in.--this issue provides a brief history of archeology in Utah. The bibliography, while by no means exhaustive on the subject of Utah archeology, should provide a useful guide into the literature for members of the society who wish to do further reading. Cover: The pictograph which appears on the cover is the last in a series from Barrier (Horseshoe) Canyon which is located about 40 miles south of Green River, Utah. The originals of these figures, which are here reproduced in approximately natural color, are each about 1 ft. 10ng o

THE UTAH STATEWIDE ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY~ ITS BACKGROUND ¡AND FIRST TEN YEARS James H. Gunnerson The Utah Statewide Archeological Survey was established in 1949 as a part 9f the Department of Anthrop.ology of the Univ~rsity of Utah'o, The survey, as envisaged, was to have several functions o First of all, it was to undertake a reconnaissance to determine the range and extent of Utah's archeological resources Once the initial survey was completed, key sites were to be excavated in order to fill gaps in our knowledge of Utah prehistoryo The Survey was alsq to serve as an agency for the salvage of archeological material threatened with destruction by such things as darn and highway constru~tiono 0
The activities of the Statewide Survey have always been closely i~tegrated with other archeological activities of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Utah o As first conceived, the Survey was to be conducted by graduate students in Anth.ropology as part of their training After two years ~ however, field director Jack R Rudy was appointed as a full time member of the staff of the Department of Anthropologyo Field expenses have been provided primarily by the University of Utah . Research Fund o 0
At the inception of the Survey, Utah was by no means unknown archeologicallyo Reports on Utah archeology had appeared in the literature as early as 1876 (Barber 1876 , Palmer 1876, Putnam 1876) but much of the early work is of no value beacuse it was never reported, and adequate notes are not available o :'
The University of Utah, which began to sponsor archeological work in the early 1900's has been the only agency with long-continuing research activities focussed on Utah problemso However, its early approach was not very systematic, since most investigations consisted primarily of following up leads offered by people who had accidentally discovered interesting siteso -3-
Much of the early work was done in San Juan County, where sites are richest and most numerous, but since little of the digging was reported, part of what is known of the area exists essentially as oral tradition 0 The monumental and classic monograph by Brew (1946)1 reporting the extensive work done on Alkali Ridge in 1931-1933 1 marks the turning point in the deplorable tradition of digging without adequate reporting 0 In tracing the history and extent of Mesa Verde archeology, Brew (l946,ppo 15-31) summarized the sparse published information on the archeology of San Juan County through about 19440 What is essent~lly an abridgement¡ of Brew's summary was prepared by Tobin (1947) 0 Some of the more useful and informative of the earlier published reports of San Juan County archeology are Pepper (1902)$ Prudden(1903), Kidder (1910), Cummings (19l0),Fewkes (1917 9 1919), Judd (1924), Steen (1937) and Leh (1938, 1939 9 1940). These, for the most part, are accounts of reconnaissances and brief reports of excavations. The Rainbow Bridge~Monument Valley archeological survey concentrated its activities of the 1930's in northern Arizona but did carry out limited reconnaissance in squthern Utah~ both east and west of the Colorado River (Beals, Brainard and Smith 1945)0 The pre-1949 archeological work in Utah north and west of San Juan County was less extensive but more completely reported o Between the years 1915 and 1920 Judd, for the Bureau of American Ethnology, devoted five summers to the first systematic archeological survey in Utah, concentrating on a north-south strip through the center of Utah, and the southwestern corner of the state. Preliminary accounts of the survey work appeared yearly in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections and the final report, in a single volume (Judd 1926), is a landmark in Utah archeologyo Judd also conducted limited excavations at sites near Willard$ Beaver and Kanah (Cottonwood Canyon) (Judd 1926) and rather extensive excavations at Paragonah . (Judd 1919). - 4-
.\
Prior to 1949, but following this basic work by Judd, several archeologists reported survey activities and site' excavations widely distributed over the state. The work by Nusbaum (1922) at Cave Du Pont is noteworthy. Morss (1931) conducted a survey with limited excavation, primarily in the Fremont River drainage, but with some work at Boulder, Utah and in Nine Mile Canyon. Spencer (1934) 'made a survey of part of the Virgin River drainage near St~ George, Utah and Leh (1937) reported a brief reconnaissance in Range Creek Canyon near Price, Utah. Reagan published " many short articles, especially on Uintah Basin archeology (Gunnerson 1957b, pp. 150-163)~ but even the more detailed ones (eg-. Reagan 1931a, 1931b, 1931c,il 1933, 1935) are of only limited usefulness. The most intensive and systematic survey before 1949 was one conducted by Steward (1941) in south central Utah in the Johnson Canyon-Paria River region and in Glen Canyon of the Colorado River. Steward also excavated at open s~tes ~n central Utah near Willard, Plain City, Grantsville, Provo, and Kanosh and in the Uintah Basin, near La 'Point (Steward 1931, 1933a); in caves on Promontory Point and at ' Black Rock at the north and south ends of .:,: _.; Great Salt Lake respectively (Steward 1937). Several of Steward's reports reflect his problem orientation and' contain sections of interpretion or synthesis. In addition, he wrote three significant articles devoted primarily to interpretive discussions (Steward 1933b, 1936, 1940) and a ' genera1 work on petrog1yphs which included data from Utah (Steward 1929). Following Steward, Gillen excavated sites in Nine Mile Canyon in Carbon County (Gillen 1938) and near Tooele, Marysvale and Ephriam in central Utah (Gillen 1941). In southwest Utah, extensive excavation in Zion Park and limited survey in the surrounding area were carried out under the direction of Wetherill and Smith in 1933 and 1934 (Smith 1940, Schroeder 1955). Subsequently, excavations of caves at the south end of the Great Salt Lake were reported by Smith ~941, 1952), Enger (1942) and Jameson (1958). At about the same time limited reconnaissance was conducted in the Deep Creek area of
extreme west-central Utah (Malouf , Dibble and Smith 1940). A site near Cisco in the extreme east-central part of Utah was excavated between 1939 and 1948 by Wormington (1955).and her report includes a summary of the archeology nortq of the Colorado River in Utah and the adjoining states. Since 1949 both the University of Utah and several organizations from outside the state have sponsored archeological investigations in Utah o In the Beet' Basin area San Juan CountY 9 the National Park Service conducteda limited survey (Baldwin 1949)0 The Museum of Northern Arizona has done a great deal of work in southern Utah primarily ~ survey and salvage associated with the construction of the Glen Canyon dam (Foster 1952, Danson 1958, Adams and Adams 1959). In southwestern Utah, the University of Southern California with the cooperation of the ,College of Southern Utah ~ has had a continuing excavation program at Paragonah since 1954. Only the first year's excavation and limited nearby survey has been reported thus far (Meighan ~ Coles .? et.al. 1956).

At the start of the Statewide Survey in 1949, Utah was divided into areas, with the highest work priority going to the one about which the least was known (Rudy 1953, ppo ix-x). It has been necessary at times to deviate from the order of priority as or~jnally established to permit salvage activities to be carried out. The first area to be surveye~ in fac~ was Washington County in the southwest corner of the state , where the construction of two dams in the Virgin River drainage was proposed (Rudy and Stirland 1950). One site p Pine Park Shelter , in Washington County was also excavated (Ru'dy' 1954b). Originally this area had only an intermediate' priority. 0
The Survey next moved into the area of highest priorityp western Utah.? with an extensive archeological reconnaissance (Rudy 1953)0 As part of the attack on oi 1rnI"'lT'~n nn't'"t-oio .... o-F tho st-"' .... o tho th ois noo 1'"' .

The Survey again abandoned its order of priority in 1952 to do work in Beef Basin in San Juan County. This archeologically rich area, nearly inaccessibl~ until · 1950 when the Bureau of Land Management constructed roade; into it, was rapidly being ravaged and prompt action was needed to salvage scientific data o Survey and excavation of key sites was conducted by Rudy (1954a , 1955)0 The Statewide Survey activities there were supplemented by reconnaissances by Hunt and Wilson (1952), research associates of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Utah. Hunt (1953) also conducted an intensive survey of the nearby LaSa1 Mountain area o In 1954 James Ho Gunnerson replaced Jack R Rudy as field director of the survey and its long range survey activities were again resumed , this time in eastern Utah (Gunnerson 1956a, 1956b, 1956c, 1957a, 1957b , 1957c) with accompanying excavation of two open sites near · EmerYi Utah by the Department- of Anthropology's archeological field school (Taylor 1957)0 Two articles devoted to broad synthesis and based in part on Utah archeological data appeared at about this same time. One is by Jennings and Norbeck (1955) and the other was edited by Jennings (1956) . The Survey was diverted from its long-range plan again in 1957 with the advent of the University of Utah's Upper Colorado River Basin Archeological Salvage Program, a project carried out under contracts from the National Park Service to salvage data ahead of inundation by the Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge dams o This project made possible work in the Glen Canyon area , so difficult of access that the Statewide Survey might never have been able to finance work there. Reconnaissance and excavation have proceeded concurrently since 1957 when the first two field parties started working in the southwestern part of the reservior area (Lister 1958a» Gunnerson 1959a)0 In 1958 , six University of Utah field parties were in or near the Glen -Canyon area (Fowler , Gunnerson , eta al a 1958 , Fowler 1958 , Gunnerson 1958 , Lipe 1959)0 Additional

reports of 1958 and 1959 work are in preparation and field work is continuing. Two seasons of excavation at the Goombs Site in Boulder» Utah have been completed by the Universities of Utah and Colorado to supplement the Glen Canyon work (Lister 1958b, 1959, Ambler 1959). During 1959, the Statewid~ Survey initiated a highway salvage program in which highway right-of-ways are irtvestigrated ahead of construction and any necessary salvage excavation is carried out (Gunnerson 1960Q). This work is being done with the cooperation of the Utah State Road Commission and the UoS. Government, which is providing the funds for much of the highway construction. Also during 1959 the Survey carried out, under contract from the National Forest Service, an archeological survey in Hammond Canyon in San Juan County and evaluated it as a possible archeological interpretive area (Gunnerson 1960a) • The Survey has also served as archeological consultant for the Utah State Park Commission and in 1958 "conducted an archeological reconnaissance for the Commission in the· Dead Hdr~~P6iht a~~a {GunnerWbn1959bjo During its first ten years, the Statewide Su~vey has been called upon to perform many other functions such as undertaking limited archeological surveys and salvage jobs in conjunction with construction worko . It has been instrumental in organizing the Utah Statewide Archeological Society and in publishing its newsletter, Utah Archeology. Moreover, it has provided information in response to numerous inqul.rl.eso Thus , it has served as a link between professional archeology and the large number of people interested in the archeology of Utah. Most important, however, the Utah Statewide Archeological Survey has collected data from many archeological sites in all parts of the state. With this information at hand, it become~ increasingly possible to outline an effective program of intensive survey of key areas and excavation of key sites to provide maximum information about the prehistory of Utah o
