Archaeologists created a Cultural Timeline of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) as part of the interpretive exhibit at the Visitor Center in Kanab, Utah. The timeline covers 12,000 years of human history with photos and illustrations of artifacts and historic sites.

In this activity you will learn about the prehistoric cultures that inhabited the GSENM region and examine evidence used by scientists to date their existence.
