Treasures Program Manager Planning the transition for the Vanishing Treasures (VT) Program has been my primary focus throughout 2007. Working closely with the VT Leadership Committee, I have been working on the planning necessary to transition VT from an Initiative into a sustainable, ongoing Pro- gram. Key elements of the transition planning include: • the development of a process to develop and complete the Vanishing Treasures Preser- vation Guidelines; • review and revision of the Servicewide Comprehensive Call (SCC) project criteria to en- sure they reflect current project needs; • transparency and accountability, which remains a foundation for the VT Program; and • the development of training opportunities and/or workshops to facilitate the sharing of VT expertise

  • Trails of Tradition: Archaeology, Landscape, and Movement
    Trails of Tradition: Archaeology, Landscape, and Movement James E. Snead Department of Sociology and Anthropology George Mason University Pre-Symposium draft of 22 May, 2006 Prepared for the Symposium “Landscapes of Movement,” organized by James E. Snead, Clark Erickson, and J. Andrew Darling. To be held at the University of Pennsylvania Museum, May 29-31, 2006. “Every path I knew there too, and every little track running off from the paths, the width of a single footstep, by which children ran to gardens of their own, that they had found or made among weeds; but some of these paths had altered in the long time since I was there. It was a long time.” - Lord Dunsany, The Return. In The Sword of Welleran and Other Tales of Enchantment, p. 173. The Devin- Adair Company, New York. 1954. Introduction High above a bank of the Huron River in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a substantial boulder with a plaque bolted to one side marking a trail and ford once used by indigenous peoples traveling through the upper Midwest. The pathway has been supplanted by a busy modern avenue, and the ford by a bridge. Pedestrians are few, and the marker sits precariously in a strip of grass alongside the pavement. Barring the occasional anthropologist, the drivers passing this spot are oblivious to the boulder and the history it represents even while their own travel - for a few blocks, at least - follows the same patterns as that of the ancestral inhabitants of the land. The landscape of movement that they have created is simply one of many that have been inscribed into the terrain through which they pass.

    southwestlearning.org TONTO Lower Cliff Dwelling FACTOVERVIEW SHEET Construction Sequence ARCHIVES SERVICE PARK NATIONAL Tonto National Monument, established in 1907, protects several cliff dwelling sites and numerous smaller archeo- logical sites scattered throughout the highlands and allu- vial plains within the Tonto Basin, Arizona. The Lower Cliff Dwelling is one of two large sites accessible to the public, and is the primary site visited in the Monument throughout the year. Background The Lower Cliff Dwelling consists of an approximately 20- room masonry and adobe village built within a natural al- cove above a side drainage of the Salt River called Cholla Canyon and overlooking Cave Canyon, where there is now an active spring. The site itself has been known since at The Lower Cliff Dwelling at Tonto National Monument, ca. 1905. least the late 1800s, and unfortunately, was subject to exces- sive looting and associated damage long before becoming a lage was not built all at once, however, and instead started Monument in 1907 and later coming under the protection of with only one or two rooms, to which additional rooms the National Park Service (NPS) in 1933.

This visitor spending supported 33 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $3,155,800. “Tonto National Monument welcomes our local visitors and others from around the world,” said Superintendent Duane Hubbard. “We are delighted to share the story of Salado cliff dwellings and prehistoric artifacts that have been preserved for over 700 years. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning more than $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service, and it’s a big factor in the Gila County economy as well. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.” The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service. The report shows $18.4 billion of direct spending by 331 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park.

Alameda Parkway, Lakewood, CO 80225, [email protected] Abstract—The National Park Service Paleontology Program maintains an extensive collection of digital and hard copy documents, publications, photographs and other archives associated with the paleontological resources documented in 268 parks. The organization and preservation of the NPS paleontology archives has been the focus of intensive data management activities by a small and dedicated team of NPS staff. The data preservation strategy complemented the NPS servicewide inventories for paleontological resources. The first phase of the data management, referred to as the NPS Paleontology Synthesis Project, compiled servicewide paleontological resource data pertaining to geologic time, taxonomy, museum repositories, holotype fossil specimens, and numerous other topics. In 2015, the second phase of data management was implemented with the creation and organization of a multi-faceted digital data system known as the NPS Paleontology Archives and NPS Paleontology Library. Two components of the NPS Paleontology Archives were designed for the preservation of both park specific and servicewide paleontological resource archives and data. A third component, the NPS Paleontology Library, is a repository for electronic copies of geology and paleontology publications, reports, and other media.
