Grand Archaeology

Promotional video for "Grand Archaeology: Excavation and Discovery along the Colorado Plateau" on exhibit October 1, 2011 -- August 5, 2012 at the Museum of Northern Arizona.

Between 2006 and 2009, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) completed the largest excavation and research project in Grand Canyon National Park in nearly 40 years. Nine sites along the Colorado River at the Canyon bottom were investigated, revealing important stories about the lives of prehistoric peoples who made the Grand Canyon their home. Grand Archaeology: Excavation and Discovery along the Colorado River tells these stories and how the exploration team discovered them.
