Glen Canyon: An Archaeological Summary
Jennings, Jesse David
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.: Univ of Utah Pr, 1998. Includes a foreword by Don D. Fowler. Before Lake Powell there was Glen Canyon. For more that 1,300 years the canyon was home for generations of a prehistoric people now known as the Anasazi. As work began on the Glen Canyon Dam in 1957, so did a massive five-year operation to inventory the archaeology, geology, history and ecology of the canyon and its tributaries before they were submerged beneath Lake Powell. In this interpretive summary, Jesse Jennings shows the achievements of the salvage team and explains how the finds affected previous conclusions about the prehistory of the Southwest. Maps detail the area, and photographs point to the extensive archaeologic resources as well as the stunning landscape of what was then a very remote and difficult part of the country. This volume is a record of an impressive scientific accomplishment and testament of the rich history of Glen Canyon before the flood. New, still in publisher's plastic.. ISBN: 0874805848. Unknown.

Glen Canyon : An Archaeological Summary
Jennings, Jesse D. ; Fowler, Don D. (foreword) ;
Salt Lake City, UT: The University of Utah Press, 1998. Reprint of 1966 edition, 1st printing. Trade Paperback. New/No Jacket. 1998 University of Utah Trade Paperback, Reprint of 1966 edition, 1st printing; Clean, solid, unmarked, unread new book; Pages bright, untanned, unmarked; Matte wraps colorful, clean, with faint edgewear; Spine square, solid, uncreased; NO remainder mark; NO writing; NO highlighting; 131 pp.; Today, thousands of people visit Lake Powell to boat, water ski, camp, and photograph beautiful coves and canyons. But underneath the Lake lies valuable cultural and geologic records that would have been lost to us without the efforts of a massive salvage operation. In 1956, Congress passed legislation that provided authorization and funds for emergency research to be conducted in Glen Canyon in response to the threat of losses posed by the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam in Northern Arizona. For eight years, scientists worked against the clock to record the archaeology, history, geology, and paleontology of the region before the waters of Lake Powell covered the area. In this interpretive summary, Jesse Jennings preserves the achievements of the salvage team and explains how the finds affected previous conclusions. Maps and photographs capture archaeological artifacts as well as the landscape of the area. This book also highlights the larger consequences of the massive salvage project--among them the stimulation of additional Southwest research; the applications of techniques made in response to emergency situations; and a valuable perspective on the Pueblo culture. Because this area is becoming increasingly controversial, with a raging debate over whether Lake Powell should be drained, GLEN CANYON: A SUMMARY stands as more than a model of salvage archaeology. It is also a record and testament of the rich history of Glen Canyon. The late Jesse D. Jennings was professor of anthropology at the University of Utah. ( more information)
