Current Projects

The Navajo Nation Archaeology Department currently has very few large projects in progress on the Navajo Reservation. Fieldwork for Navajo Route 70 Grand Falls Road and Navajo Route 15 widening between Leupp and Dilcon will completed this year.

We also have finished excavation and surveys on the Navajo Route 21 road between Red Lake and Kaibeto, N608 in Tuba City, Kaiparowits (Grand Staircase/Escalante), a segment of NTP on Gray Mountain and Walnut Canyon new lands survey. Other roads projects we have pending N8066 on Black Mesa, N7 between White House Ruins and Sawmill.

The staff and students at NNAD-NAU are also continuously performing small archaeological survey projects for individuals and businesses on the western Navajo reservation. These projects help allow residents to receive vital services such as electricity and running water.
