Book Description
"The unique setting of Red Rock Canyon as an oasis within a desert environment facilitated aboriginal exploitation and continues to foster recreational uses. This Class I Inventory reviews and evaluates the previous cultural resources investigations in Red Rock Canyon Recreation Lands. Archaeological research is classified within four separate phases: 1) initial exploration and identification of significant sites from the 1930s to 1960s. 2) BLM-contracted surveys from 1968 to 1977 for anticipated recreational development, 3) compliance inventories for Fderal actions from 1975 to the present, and 4) three proactive research projects in the late 1980s. Red Rock was divided into three subzones for comparative purposes. Red Rock Summit consists of several large rockshelter/roasting pit districts. North Red Rock Escarpment has a predominance of rockshelter/rock art locales. South Red Rock possesses a distribution of lithic scatters, rock art and some rockshelters. I propose a strategy to test, evaluate, complete data recovery, and then manage for public uses at sites that are within high intensive recreational use areas. Sites within less intensive use areas should be managed for conservation. I also propose a research strategy for a graduate student for the roasting pit/rockshelter districts in Red Rock Summit subzone." -taken from abstract on page ii.
