Scope and Contents:
This collection contains the records pertaining to 29SJ and 29MC sites survey, excavation, data analyses, and research publications conducted by the National Park Service Chaco Project staff at the Chaco Center, a research unit under the direction of the Southwest Regional Office. The records are organized into series primarily by site excavation or survey project. Other series include special studies, images, computer data, administrative files, and the publication process. Of note, Pueblo Bonito was not part of the Chaco Project's excavation work, although the Bonito ovens were analyzed as part of 29SJ 1175.The collection documents the initial site survey which set the groundwork for site excavations, 29 in total are represented in this collection. Each excavation's records included field notes, maps, reports, and images. Series 6 and series 15 are mentioned in this collection but were physically and intellectually arranged into collections 0007 and 0014, respectively. Series directly related to special studies, images, and publications include stone circles, shrines survey, history of the Navajo, outliers survey, images of Chaco objects held by other national institutions; and numerous reports published as Chaco Center Reports and Chaco Canyon Studies. Additionally, the Chaco project generated varied maps which were microfiched by the NPS Denver Services Center.The information gathered by the Chaco Center staff was presented for research via the development, population, and use of Chaco 29SJ and 29MC individual, multiple, and all sites excavation computerized data. The resulting printouts consist of inventories, lists, breakdowns, datasets, cross-tabulations, graphs, tables, and analyses by a variety of variables and attributes on topics such as ceramics, lithics, fauna, pollen, vegetation, tree rings, minerals, ornaments, human remains, Bonito Phase room morphology, and time-space analysis.The collection also offers insight into the archeologists' research files and administrative work associated with field work, data processing, personnel supervision, and publications. The files consist of material created and collected by archaeologists William Gillespie, Stephen Lekson, Peter McKenna and Thomas Windes during and after the Chaco Project surveys and
