Cataloging Archaeological Collections at the Edge of the Cedars

Since 2018, the Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum has received grant money from the BLM to catalog materials from their collections in southeast Utah.  These cataloged artifacts and samples include over 17,000 items (or lots of items) from about 30 collections. This presentation will review some of the collections and materials cataloged, highlighting items that caught their attention and interest as they were encountered. They will emphasize that these materials are available to descendant communities, archaeologists, and other students of the region’s deep history.
