Archeological support on off-road vehicle plan implementation and pin-anchoring pilot study monitoring

The Museum of Northern Arizona will provide archaeological support services under a $100,000 cooperative agreement award from the Department of the Interior National Park Service Intermountain Region. The award's purpose is to support off-road vehicle plan implementation and pin-anchoring pilot study monitoring at Page, Arizona from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2025.

The services will facilitate the National Park Service's Cooperative Research and Training Programs – Resources of the National Park System program (CFDA #15.945). This program seeks to establish cooperative study units with partners to conduct multidisciplinary science and integrate information to aid natural and cultural resource management at National Park System sites. Specifically, the Museum of Northern Arizona will provide archaeological expertise to monitor the impacts of an off-road vehicle pilot program and pin-anchoring study at nearby National Park lands, helping the National Park Service integrate science-based management of cultural resources.
