Research Photo Database

In the Crow Canyon Archaeological Research Database page, you can access photos for sites we have researched over our nearly 40-year history. This page displays brief information about the images stored in the database. The data from the images that are available to search include:

1. Site Name
2. File Name
3. Date of Photo
4. Description
5. Copyright

Search the Photo Database

To search the database, fill in the keywords of the photo you want to find in the  field. To search, follow the steps below:

1. In the QuickFind field, type a keyword you’d like to search. For example, to search for all photos whose description contains “axe,” enter the word “axe” in the box  and press the “Enter” on your keyboard.
2. After that, the database will display all photo data that contains the word “Axe.”
3. You can also find out the number of photos shown on the page.

Advanced Photo Search

You can perform more specific data searches by filling in keywords that pertain to a particular field. You can also perform searches by combining several keywords in several search fields. Sample search fields that you can use include:

1. Site Name, Use this option to view all photographs of a specific site by the Smithsonian Trinomial designation or the common name for the site.
   Example: To see photos from the Albert Porter Site, search for “5MT123” or “Albert Porter.”
2. File Name, Use this option to select an image by the record number. Please be aware that a search for ‘101’ will match ‘1101’ and similar variations.
   Example: 4097
3. Text Description, Use this option to select photographs that include a search term in the description field.
   Search terms that refer to specific Study Units (e.g., ‘101’ for ‘Structure 101’), features (e.g., ‘Feature 3’), or artifacts (e.g., ‘baskets’) will return all records with the term in the description.
   Example: Mancos Corrugated
   Example: Structure 1019
4. Copyright Text, It can be convenient to search for all photos taken in a given year here.
   Example: 1997
