> Archeologists confirmed that Alcatraz prison was built over a Civil
> War-era military fortification. Researchers have found buildings and
> tunnels under the prison yard of Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.
> Archeologists used ground-penetrating radar, terrestrial laser scans, and
> historical maps and photographs. They found fully buried structures,

> existing structures when the prison was built in the 20th century.

> Alcatraz Island first came to the attention of the U.S. government after

> During the Civil War, Fort Alcatraz was the official military prison for

> Crucian language, historical V.I. “queens,” and food traditions were part

> community engagement of the Slave Wrecks Project (SWP). The project has
> fostered public and scholarly understanding of the role of the African
> slave trade. NPS archeologist Meredith Hardy gave an overview of the SWP
> and importance of community input.

> 200 non-DOI repositories. They also finalized the policy DOI Museum
> Property Directive 17, *Working with Non-Bureau Facilities and
> Repositories to Manage DOI Museum Collections*; and developed associated
> guidance documents: *Department of the Interior Guidance for Working with
> Non-Bureau Facilities and Repositories to Manage DOI Museum Collections*
> and *Department of the Interior Template for a Repository Agreement
> Between a Bureau or Bureau Unit and a Non-Bureau Repository.*
>
>
>
> The guidance provide best practices, recommendations, and samples for
> policy implementation. The repository agreement template has clause options
> as well as appendices with sample processes and agreements on a range of
> issues (e.g., access and use, reproduction, consumptive analysis, and
> commercial use). These guidance documents facilitate implementation of
> Directive 17.
>
>
>
> The program is building an online, interactive repository agreement tool,
> which uses the repository agreement template, that will allow those who are
> drafting a repository agreement to answer non-legal questions to generate a
> tailored, draft repository agreement. Live and WebEx training (available
> in DOI Talent) on working with partners to manage DOI museum collections is

>
> The National Endowment for the Humanities, through the Traveling

> from the western U.S. The paintings in the remote recesses of Canyonlands
> NP and on BLM lands across Utah, Colorado, northern Arizona, eastern Nevada
> and parts of Wyoming.
>
>
>
> The Barrier Canyon pictographs are concentrated along Colorado Plateau
> rivers, especially the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers. From
> tiny 5-inch animal figures to stunning 8-foot-tall human shapes with no
> arms or legs and alien-like bug eyes, Barrier Canyon Style images are
> usually a dark, blood-red color. They may have been painted 9,000 years
> ago; many panels are at least 5,000 years old. The brush strokes and
> vibrant paint pigments make the images seem fresh and newly painted, yet
> one carbon dating of an embedded hair from a paintbrush dates from 6750
> B.C. The paintings are probably made by mixing blood and clay, and possibly
> using urine as a binder.
>
>
>
> There are no violent depictions. No severed heads, battle scenes, no
> images of human conflict. Instead, there are “friendly associations of
> animal, bird, snake and plant images with anthropomorphic spirit figures.”
> Only 20-25% have eyes. Most have no ears or noses and no way to distinguish
> gender. Snakes writhe in their hands or above their heads. Circling the
> creatures are delicate menageries of exquisitely painted birds, ducks,
> geese, deer and, occasionally, free-floating eyeballs with wings.
>
>
>
> David Sucec, director of the Barrier Canyon Style Project, and
> photographer Craig Law teamed up over 25 years ago to inventory this rare
> Archaic rock-art style, which represents some of the oldest outdoor
> paintings in North America. They have found close to 450 sites. The BLM has
> few staff to enforce regulations on backcountry travel, and rock art
> vandalism is an ongoing problem. Far too many panels have been shot at or
> scratched over.

>
>
> The exhibit will travel for several years across Utah. Now, folks who may

> By Douglas H. MacDonald, Elizabeth A. Horton, and Todd A. Surovell
>
> *American Antiquity* 84(1) 158-179. (2019)
>
> With more than 15 sources of obsidian and other lithic materials, the
> Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho is one of the
> richest toolstone regions in northwestern North America. This article
> introduces a quantitative assessment technique to compare attributes of
> seven Yellowstone obsidians used by Native Americans over at least 11,000
> years. The proposed assessment technique is replicable and adaptable to
> other regions. This article also analyzes the procurement, use, and
> distribution of the poorly studied Cougar Creek obsidian. Archaeological
> research documented Cougar Creek obsidian outcrops, procurement areas, and
> secondary processing sites. Native Americans acquired the material at
> surface exposures, as well as occasional trench and pit excavations. There
> is a significant distance decay reduction in its use, especially when
> compared with Obsidian Cliff obsidian. Using a weighted z-score analysis,
> the material attributes of Cougar Creek were compared with those of six
> regional obsidians to determine the factors involved in their differential
> use. Based on these rankings, Cougar Creek obsidian experienced low demand
> and usage due to poor quality and availability. In contrast, due to their
> high quality, abundance, and aesthetics, Obsidian Cliff and Bear Gulch
> obsidians were preferred for stone tool production.

> GAO made three recommendations to each of the four involved agencies,
