The expedition was successful, but a report on the findings was never completed. What should have been one of the great archaeological stories in American history was relegated to boxes and files in the basement of the Peabody Museum at Harvard. Now, based on over a thousand pages of documents (field journals, correspondence, and receipts) and over four hundred photographs, this book recounts the remarkable day-to-day adventures of this crew of one professor, five students, and three Utah guides who braved heat, fatigue, and the dangerous canyon wilderness to reveal vestiges of the Fremont culture in the Tavaputs Plateau and Uinta Basin areas. To better tell this story, authors Spangler and Aton undertook extensive fieldwork to confirm the sites; their recent photographs and those of the original expedition are shared on these pages. This engaging narrative situates the 1931 survey and its discoveries within the history of American archaeology"--Provided by publisher. 611 20 $a Claflin-Emerson Expedition $d (1927-1931) 650 0 $a Archaeological surveying $z Utah. 650 0 $a Fremont culture $z Utah. 650 0 $a Pueblo Indians $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z Utah $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Utah. 651 0 $a Utah $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Archaeological surveying. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812919 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 650 7 $a Fremont culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934208 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969645 650 7 $a Pueblo Indians $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083570 651 7 $a Utah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204563 700 1 $a Aton, James M., $d 1949- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Spangler, Jerry D., author. $t Crimson Cowboys $d [Salt Lake City, Utah] : University of Utah Press, [2018] $z 9781607816508 $w (DLC) 2018041043 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305060520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=04F58B563F1811E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
