Four Corners Lecture Series SCAAS Cultural Landscapes Survey Program Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum Dolores, CO The Four Corners Lecture Series, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument and the Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance hosted our Society for a discussion of our Cultural Landscapes Survey Program. The event was at the Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center and Museum on August 23, 2023, near Dolores, CO. SCAAS has a strong and enduring interest in developing and deploying guidance on the use of new technologies to add standardized landscape orientation, feature detail and horizon data to archaeological site documentation form packages and reports. In consultation with descendant communities, our documentation process investigates placement of sites on the landscape, their spatial relationships and building feature orientation to horizon features and events. It combines traditional architectural documentation with photogrammetry, LiDAR terrain modeling, calibrated horizon profiles and Google Earth and Stellarium astronomy software. Escalante Pueblo at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument was our first Cultural Landscapes Survey Project. The results are presented here along with preliminary information on this year’s fieldwork at Wallace Great House Pueblo.
