Far too often in the ?eld of archeology, the wheel of understanding and insight has a narrow focus that fails to recognize critical studies. Crucial information rega- ing pivotal archeological investigations at a variety of sites worldwide is extremely dif?cult, if not impossible, to obtain. The majority of archeological analysis and reporting, at best, has limited publication. The majority of archeological reports are rarely seen and when published are often only in obscure or out-of-print journals – the reports are almost as hard to ?nd as the archeological sites themselves. There is a desperate need to pull seminal archeological writings together into single issue or thematic volumes. It is the int- tion of this series, When the Land Meets the Sea, to address this problem as it relates to archeological work that encompasses both terrestrial and underwater archeology on a single site or on a collection of related sites. For example, despite the fact that we know that bays and waterways structured historic settlement, there is a lack of archeological literature that looks at both the nautical and terrestrial signatures of watersheds in?uence on historic culture.

A Class III cultural resource inventory of the 240 acre Tanker Curve block survey area located in Gibbon Canyon, Yellowstone National Park was conducted by the Office of the Wyoming State Archaeologist in 1995. The inventory recorded one prehistoric isolated find site (WY-3295-156IF) during the Tanker Curve block survey. Abandoned road scars related to various construction episodes of the Grand Loop Road (48YR520) were also noted. Neither prehistoric isolated find nor the abandoned road scars are considered not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. The lack of sites in the uplands may be due to the thick forests and steepness of the canyon in many places which may have made access to water difficult. These attributes may have made much of the project area unattractive for occupation.
