This $128,363 Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Park Service under the CFDA 15.945 Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, will support an ethnographic overview and assessment of Dinosaur National Monument. The project will identify and collaborate with traditionally associated ranching communities to document sites, structures, objects, landscapes, and natural resources that are significant to their histories and present-day activities. The final products will serve as core cultural resource baseline documents to inform science-based management of the national park. The project will be conducted by the University of Arizona, a public research institution, over a 3-year period from July 2024 through June 2027.
