This volume summarizes the archeological data and presents the interpretations resulting from a comprehensive survey of most of the park land that lies on the top of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. The area surveyed covers 10,799 acres. This project was conceived and conducted primarily to collect archeological site-location and condition data for park planning and management purposes. Nonetheless, it is hoped that the inventory project will contribute substantially to archeological research in the American West.
