Scope and Content
The Rainbow Bridge/Monument Valley Expedition (RBMVE) Archives results from excavations that were conducted between 1933 and
1938 along the Colorado River basin directed by Ansel Hall, Head of Education for the Western Region, National Park Service,
based in UC-Berkeley. The interest of the National Park Service to establish a park in the Rainbow Bridge area of southeastern
Utah and down into Tsegi Canyon in northern Arizona gave Hall the opportunity to organize an intensive survey of this extended
area, covering 3,000 square miles. Intending to take only ten experienced men from UC-Berkeley for a preliminary exploration
of the area in 1933, he instead led seventy-five men from major universities around the country. A caravan left from each
coast, one from The Explorers Club in New York City, the other from UC-Berkeley. They converged on a predetermined date in
the desolate settlement of Kayenta, Arizona. The archive consists of maps, photographs and negatives, site cards, original
field notes and diaries, catalog ledgers, ceramic tabulation strips, cassette tapes, published and unpublished reports on
the progress of ethnographic, archaeological, and botanical research, funding and organizational documentation, analyses,
and correspondence. The collection also includes primary materials relating to the Fowler exhibition
Honoring the Dead: Anasazi Ceramics from the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition, 1983, at the Museum of Cultural History.
From the inception of the project, Hall invited a mixture of promising, young scientists to participate, along with men established
in their fields to direct day-to-day field operations. Systematic excavation and meticulous recording of sites and natural
resources were important new components to this expedition. Lyndon Hargrave, the first field director and Curator of Archaeology
of the Museum of Northern Arizona, also put into practice the new ideas of surface collection as a survey tool, establishing
a ceramic sequence, and the concept of open-site excavation. Scientific research was on-going in the areas of archaeology,
zoology, geology, botany, biology, and the new sciences of dendrochronology, ethnography, and ethnobotany. Field work was
conducted from small auxiliary camps, some based in very isolated areas accessible only by pack train and supplied from the
base camp located first in Kayenta at a Trading Post and later at the head of Marsh Pass. Mapping was a strong focus throughout
the six seasons and since only some small-scale government maps existed engineers were given the task of creating detailed
topographic maps of the greater area, of the major sites, and of major geological features, including Rainbow Bridge itself.
Hall wanted results published for all on-going work. He established a RBMVE newsletter where preliminary reports appeared.
Groups were assigned to pre-defined areas of the site and each day explorations were conducted by a group of volunteers, led
by an experienced archaeologist. Each man carried a number of blank "site cards" which were completed when evidence of potsherds,
flint chips, masonry remains, or charcoal concentrations were discovered. Photographs were taken and the site was sketched.
At the end of the day the cards and potsherd collections were taken back to the camp and the cards were typed in duplicate.
The RBMVE archives includes these site cards, as well as the photographs and sketches.
Many participants later pursued careers that were inspired by their work with RBMVE or at the very least they returned repeatedly
to the area. The film footage, photographs, and memoirs are a tribute to the well-rounded experience, both professionally
and personally, for the approximately 300 men who passed through the expedition. Photographers, pilots, artists of note,
well-known archaeologists and scientists traveled to the southwest to work with the expedition as word spread of the work
being done in this dramatic spot.
We know from the existing photographs and memoirs of participants that the local Navajo became an integral part of the daily
routine and success of the expedition. In addition to acting as guides, they were camp cooks, provided meat and food to the
isolated auxiliary camps, and were packers. Photographs also show Navajo men and their families with the RBMVE participants
in leisure time playing games, trading, and relaxing with the young men on the expedition. Several participants embarked
on some of the first ethnographic studies, including one study, which yielded around 500 photographs of Navajo daily life.
The larger national park never did come to fruition. Only the National Monument remained, established in 1909, to preserve
the large and well-know sites of Betatakin, Kiet Siel, and Inscription House. Hall continued to find funding to bring four
of the six years worth of the collections and related documentation to UCLA. He also found money to set up a lab for continued
analysis for Ralph Beals, the first Anthropology professor at UCLA, George Brainerd, whom Beals later hired to teach archaeology,
and Watson Smith, recently of Harvard. The result was the monograph,
Archaeological Studies in Northeast Arizona: a report on the archaeological work of the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition (UC-Berkeley Press, 1945).
