- Title
PIUTE BUTTE: A PRESERVATION PLANNING STUDY.
- Authors
MOORE, EDRA
- Abstract
Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park occupies a considerable portion of a rocky butte known as "Piute Butte" in the western Mojave Desert. A variety of cultural markings scattered among the butte's unique rock features implies visitation and special use of the butte and its resources by human populations over millennia. In 2003/2004, a Cultural Stewardship Grant from the California State Department of Parks and Recreation made possible a comprehensive multidisciplinary study of Piute Butte. Discussions of 1) research results from a geologist, geographer, three archaeologists, an ethnologist, an historian, several rock art research specialists, and a radiocarbon dating specialist, and 2) the ultimate goal of the project are the subjects of this presentation.
