Global Positioning Systems

Archaeologists use satellite global positioning systems (GPS) to quickly and accurately map the locations of sites on the landscape.

The mission of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center is to empower present and future generations by making the human past accessible and relevant through archaeological research, experiential education, and American Indian knowledge.

Crow Canyon is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
