Over the last several decades we have recorded and analyzed granaries and rock art in upper Colorado River Basin dating from 600 AD to 1400 AD. We have learned much about both and in some cases the relationship between the two. This presentation will focus on the how the granaries were built, where they were built and in some cases, the proximity of contemporaneous rock art to the structure.
Dr. Gardner received his PhD from the University of New Mexico and has since published multiple reports and articles on the Native Americans in the Upper Colorado River Basin. He has worked in archaeology in this region for 45 years. His research interests include prehistoric sites and historical archeological sites and he has worked and published in both areas. Gardner was born in Colorado; after graduating high school he served two tours of duty in Vietnam then went back east to study at Lee University where he earned his BA. He has worked at Colorado State University, Western Wyoming Community College and Coconino Community College.
