About this file

This is a suggested readings reference guide developed by the Paria River District Fire and Aviation Division and Fuels Program under the Utah State Office, Bureau of Land Management, in collaboration with the Color Country District. The document serves archaeologists working within the Paria River District administrative boundaries, which fall within the cultural permitting areas of the Great Basin and Virgin permits. The guide provides essential references for identifying cultural resources within the district, including Paleoindian, Archaic, Formative Fremont, Puebloan, late prehistoric, and contact era sites. Specific resource types addressed include artifact scatters, pueblo adobe structures, pithouses, irrigation infrastructure, rock imagery, ethnohistoric materials, and structures related to historic settlement including Navajo hogans, sweatlodges, and cowboy camps. The reference list encompasses Class I cultural resource inventories specific to the Kanab Field Office and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, as well as Smithsonian Institution handbooks covering North American Indian regions including the Southwest, Great Basin, California, and Plateau areas.

The suggested readings are organized by category to address ethnographic and historic references for specific groups including Southern Paiute, Pueblos, Ute, Navajo, and Colorado River tribes, with particular emphasis on cultural identity, social organization, architecture, and pastoralism. Additional resources address traditional ecological knowledge, including Native American land management practices and fire ecology, alongside general historic references covering prehistoric hunters, early colonial history, and overseas immigrant experiences in the region. The guide includes citations to academic journals, university press publications, government reports, and digital repositories, providing archaeologists with comprehensive source material for understanding the cultural context and historical significance of resources encountered during fieldwork in the Paria River District.

PARIA RIVER DISTRICT SUGGESTED READINGS

The Paria River District is located within the cultural permitting areas of the Great Basin and Virgin permits, as outlined by the Utah State Office, Bureau of Land Management. In order to better equip archaeologists with vital information regarding the various cultural material present within the Paria River District administrative boundaries, the Color Country and Paria River Districts Fire and Aviation Division, Fuels Program, have developed this essential reference guide.

Within the Paria River District a variety of cultural resources may be identified including but not limited to Paleoindian, Archaic, Formative Fremont, Puebloan (Virgin and Kayenta), late prehistoric, and contact era sites. Pre-contact sites are typically attributed as artifact scatters consisting of lithic materials and ceramics, debitage and ground stone, pueblo adobe structures, pithouses, irrigation infrastructure (see Hohokam Canals in Central Arizona), as well as rock imagery. Such contact era sites can include ethnohistoric resources such as intermountain brownware ceramics, brush structures such as Kahns, Navajo Hogans and Sweatlodges, farming and ranching, artifact scatters pertaining to cowboy camps.
