Summary
"An archaeologist's personal exploration of Bears Ears, a sacred and imperiled Utah landscape that shapes human lives and redefines the boundaries between tradition and science. For more than twelve thousand years, the redrock landscape of southeastern Utah has shaped the lives of everyone who calls it home. R. E. Burrillo takes readers on a journey of discovery through the stories and controversies that make this place so unique, from traces of its earliest inhabitants through its role in shaping the study of archaeology itself--and into the modern battle over its protection"--, Provided by publisher
