Biographical Note   

"Robert York earned an M.A. in anthropology with an emphasis in archaeology from the University of Arizona, Tucson in 1971 and a B.A. in anthropology from Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff in 1969." York’s career in the western United States has been by and large as an archaeologist for various federal agencies: the Bureau of Land Management (BLM); the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado Wyoming and New Mexico; and the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation in Arizona. He has held archaeology positions with various museums and with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office in Cheyenne and Laramie. "York has written and presented numerous professional papers on various archaeological and anthropological topics relevant to western U.S. archaeology and cultural resource management issues. York produces collaborative research and works jointly on projects with his wife, Gigi York, a registered professional archaeologist and fellow anthropology professional."

Arrangement  

The personal papers of Robert York arrived at the Center in a loosely arranged order created by the donor. Robert York’s collection consisted of 13 boxes marked in broad terms according to the location of his employment and general professional duties. Therefore, the collection is not in any strict chronological order other than the succession of years according to where he was working. Boxes and folders are arranged by subject and/or material type.  Staying true to York’s organization, the series are College, the early years in Nevada (BLM, UNLV Museum), his tenure at San Juan National Forest, Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Relocation and a few documents post 1995.
The series from the San Juan National Forest is further organized into the two sub-series cultural resources management and archaeology, which follows Robert York’s own hierarchical system marked on the original boxes. Although the terms “Cultural Resource Management” and “archaeology” certainly intersect, there is an effort to distinguish the concepts of resources management as policy development that attempts to preserve and to protect and the archaeological processes of excavation, analysis and intellectual interpretation. Thus CRM and archeology is separated into two series whereas “CRM” represents policy (laws, guidelines, preservation, etc., concerning archeology and other management issues) and “Archaeology” is the materials that focus on the theories, practices, artifact attributes, and data that Robert York collected.
The Center retained the creator's original order of photographs and slides, which is basically chronological.

Scope & Contents   

The collection contains published materials, reports, surveys, inventories, manuscripts, notes, correspondence and photographs collected during Robert York’s early years in graduate school in Arizona and as an archaeologist for the BLM in Nevada. His position as Cultural Resource Manager (CRM) and archeologist for Forest Service at the San Juan National Forest (1979-1989) represents the bulk of the collection. Also included are materials collected during his time as CRM and archeologist at Medicine Bow National Forest, the Office of Navajo and Hopi Indian Removal (1990-1995), and Espanola National Forest. Notable papers in the collection are Robert York’s research on Early Paleo-Indian occupation in the southwest, documentation of early investigations into using ground penetrating radar (a.k.a. remote sensing) in archaeology, and material related to considerations of Chimney Rock receiving national monument status. The collection is an example of the changing profession of archaeology over a 30 year time period with consideration to contemporary regulations such as ARPA (Archaeology Resources Protection act) and NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), materials concerning historical markers and preservation related to Section106 of National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and other Cultural Resources Management philosophical history.
