Fancy in Utah: Precious & Exotic Artifacts from the Bluff & Edge of the Cedars Great House Sites

This event is brought to you by the Bureau of Land Management, Monticello Field Office and Bears Ears National Monument in partnership with Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum.
This presentation considers ornaments and nonlocal items from two great house sites in Utah. These “preciousities” reflect connectivity with the wider world during the fluorescence of the Chaco Phenomenon in the 11th, 12th, and early 13th centuries into the Mesa Verde region. A comparison is effected between the preciousity assemblages of the two sites to consider possible differences and similarities between Bluff and Edge of the Cedars in long-distance relationships with other parts of the Pueblo social world and beyond.
Funding has been provided by the Register of Professional Archaeologists and the Colorado Council of Professional Archaeologists.

Raw materials are harvested n bought in to the houses with blessings then they are worked on for wht ever it was harvested or traded for, example offerings, jewelry or other ppl that live south mite have made those beads n other objects to trade for things up here turquoise, pottery, teaching each other along the way .
