Book Description
"The two reports published here contain elements which contribute substantially to this broader spectrum of Southwestern cultural change. While primarily descriptive in nature, these two site reports, one from the western Kayenta area and one from the margin of the Mesa Verde area and the eastern Kayenta, suggest that the changes which occurred in the more centralized portions of these regions were directly related to what happened on the margins. That, while the site densities and population aggregates may not have been as high, the same factors affected these marginal areas. That conclusion could be expected, but what may not be expected is the differential response which appears to have occurred. After reading these two reports, it appears that it may be possible to discern elements of change in these fringe areas that, once defined, will provide new insight into what happened and why and in what are presently the better known areas of the Southwest. These two papers are important, in sum, not only because they are reports of work in poorly known areas, but because they do provide analyses of fringe areas, they help us to understand the Southwest generally"--From preliminary introduction.

Book Description
The northwestern corner of Arizona, known as the Arizona strip, is an area of geographic and political isolation. Archaeological work conducted in this area has been limited. Given these facts, it was with enthusiasm that the Office of Public Archaeology (OPA) at Brigham Young University (BYU) entered into a cooperative agreement with the Arizona Strip District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to assess two sites on the Uinkaret Plateau--Antelope Cave and Rock Canyon Shelter--deemed significant by BLM personnel and to complete analyses of data recovered from Antelope Cave in the 1950s. Assessment of Antelope Cave and Rock Canyon Shelter consisted of tests conducted at each of these sites under the guidance of fundamental research questions related to chronology, subsistence, settlement, and paleoenvironments. The original intent of this project was to supplement the scanty knowledge of the prehistory of this area and to begin some limited regional and site specific research on the Uinkaret Plateau. As part of the BLM/BYU cooperative agreement, it was proposed that the BLM survey the area within a 10 km radius of Antelope Cave for the purpose of locating sites that would assist in establishing patterns in resource procurement amongst the regions ancient inhabitants.
