Archeological Excavations In Glen Canyon: A Preliminary Report Of 1958 Work

William D. Lipe

Abstract

A dozen archaeological sites, located in Southern Utah's deep Glen Canyon on the Colorado, were excavated in summer 1958 by a crew of archaeologists from the University of Utah. Some of these sites were flooded in the spring, after the completion of a coffer dam just upstream from the main Glen Canyon Dam construction at Page, Arizona. Inundation of the remaining sites came about after the 580 foot-high dam was completed. This report summarizes excavation details.
