Title:
A methodology study to develop evaluation criteria for Wild and Scenic Rivers: report of the archaeological resources of the Salmon River Canyon
Authors:
Swanson Jr., Earl H.
Date Created (ISO Standard):
1970-09
Description:
The antiquities of the Salmon River Canyon have scientific and historic value for several reasons. First, these prehistoric resources may shed light on cultural relations between two different peoples, who spoke different languages and were most closely related to the cultures of different geographic areas. Second, the canyon appears to be a special environment, which people entered and left along its tributaries and from its rim rather than along its main course. Third, the Salmon is a pro-glacial river whose terraces reflect glacial history of the Salmon River Mountains. Any evidence of Early Man should, therefore, reflect man's relationship to the glacial history of the region. Fourth, the canyon contains a variety of archaeological sites which indicate man made wide use of the canyon over a long period of time.
