Who created CPAA?
CPAA evolved from several years of discussion between Utah state archaeologist Kevin Jones, Utah Museum of Natural History curator Duncan Metcalfe, historian Steve Gerber and Jerry Spangler, an archaeologist, writer and long-time advocate of archaeological preservation. While working in the pristine Range Creek Canyon area of eastern Utah, they became increasingly concerned with the growing threat to cultural resources on public lands. They have campaigned to deter those threats through research and public education.
