Abstract
The Cedar Mesa Project was an archaeological project on Cedar Mesa in SE Utah, funded by the National Science Foundation and co-directed by William (Bill) Lipe and R.G. Matson. This report provides background information about Matson's excavation in 1972 of a test pit into a dry, stratified Basketmaker II period midden at the Turkey Pen site in Grand Gulch. This site is in a large natural shelter and has evidence of Basketmaker lI occupation in the first 200 years AD, and Pueblo II and III period occupation between AD 1060 and 1270. The 1972 excavation reported here has yielded important information about Basketmaker II subsistence and settlement patterns, as well as chronology.";"The original version of this report was posted in 2015. In 2018, Matson submitted a revised version that is also posted here. Each report can be cited separately. The 2018 version also includes a full listing of tree-ring and radiocarbon dates obtained from sites on Cedar Mesa.
