B/w and color photographs of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, CO. Site views and archaeological workshops with unidentified groups of adults and children, possibly associated with the Heard Museum Guild trips in 1985 and 1989. The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center is located adjacent to Mesa Verde National Park in southern Colorado. It was purchased by the Center for American Archaeology in 1982 as the nucleus of a permanent archaeological teaching and research campus. The new Crow Canyon Center began operations in 1983. The Center conducts interdisciplinary team research into the complex pre-Euroamerican historical record that spans at least 12,000 years in the southwestern United States. Students and adult laymen carry out surveys and excavations of ancient sites throughout the Four Corners region. The Crow Canyon Center also seeks to increase public sensitivity and interpretation of the undocumented human chronicle of the American West.
