Survey in Canyon de Chelly

Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Inventory Archaeological and Ethnographic Resources

Logan Simpson is working in conjunction with the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation to survey over 552 acres surrounding the internationally famous White House Ruin within Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Northeastern Arizona.

This Section 110 inventory is the second the firm has undertaken in Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The field crew navigated the steep terrain of the canyon’s talus slopes and cliffs to identify cultural resources sites. Their efforts resulted in documentation of 76 such sites spanning thousands of years of human history in the canyon.
