Acknowledgments
This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance, constructive criticism,
and resources provided by my advisor, Professor Frank Matero. I am fortunate to have
had a thesis supervisor as knowledgeable about both the history and the conservation of
excavatedcliffdwellingsas isProfessorMatero. Ialsoappreciatetheideasandsolutions
offered by my reader Professor C. Dana Tomlin, particularly during the first semester
datapreparationwork.
I am indebted to the expertise and encouragement of Angelyn Bass Rivera, Lauren
Meyers, Mary Slater, and Kathy Fiero, all of the Vanishing Treasures Program at
Bandelier National Monument. Lori Kleifgen, ofthe Intennountain Regional Support
Office ofthe National Park Service, quite literally got me started on the field work for
this thesis. That I have any locational data with which to work is due to Lori's
persistence and creativity. In addition, thanks to Jake Barrow of the National Park
Serviceforsupportthroughoutthisthesisproject.
I would like to thank Lauren Hegarty, John Hinchman, and Judy Peters, past and present
students in the Historic Preservation program, for easing me through technological
hurtles. I owe a great deal to Dr. Stuart Fleming, Dr. Judy Voelker, and the staff of
MASCAattheUniversityofPennsylvania'sMuseumofArchaeologyandAnthropology.
All ofyouhaveprovidedhelponthisprojectandthroughoutmytwoyearsatPenn.
