Biographical / Historical
This series contains material on the NNCPSP's committment to non-invasive strategies of collecting information about CPSP sites and their interconnectedness. Research emphasis was on geophysical study, mapping utilizing technologies in remote sensing, GPS, and GIS sourcing by means of strontium isotopes and trace elements ( in soil, timber, lithics, ceramics, and corn studies), Navajo oral history, traditional narrative, and astronomy. Additionally, it documents stabilization of structures, precoloumbian architecture and great houses, roads, alignments, and rock art. These projects were conducted in Chaco Canyon, Manuelito Canyon, Aztec Ruins, as well as at Newcomb, Skunk Springs, Raton Well, and Crumbled House CPSP sites.
