*Cabrillo National Monument Celebrates its Centennial*
Cabrillo NM will celebrate its centennial on October 14, 2013.
Under a mandate from the viceroy of Mexico, navigator Juan Rodríguez
Cabrillo commanded an expedition to explore the uncharted western coast of
North America and to search for a water route to Asia. On September 28,
1542, the intrepid Cabrillo sailed his ships San Salvador, Victoria, and
San Miguel into what is now San Diego Bay, California, and claimed the land
for the Spanish crown.
Citing the authority of the Antiquities Act, President Woodrow Wilson
declared one-half acre above Cabrillo's landing a national monument in 1913
to memorialize the discovery of California's coast and to secure Cabrillo's
place in history and public memory. Surrounding land deemed necessary for
the park's maintenance was added to Cabrillo NM in 1959, 1974, and 2000.
Now 160 terrestrial acres within the park's boundaries and 120 acres of
tidepool outside the boundaries are maintained, protected, and interpreted
by NPS personnel.
In addition to commemorating Cabrillo's landing, visitors come to the
southern tip of the Point Loma peninsula for its view of San Diego, San
Diego Bay, Mexican coastline, the Coronado Islands, and the Pacific Ocean.
The historic Old Point Loma lighthouse is one of the first of eight
lighthouses built along the West Coast and acted as a signal station for
the Navy during World War II. The Bayside Trail honors the Kumeyaay Indians
who, for centuries before their encounter with Cabrillo, lived off the
surrounding land. A U.S. Army defense system of artillery positions,
base-end stations, searchlight shelters, and support facilities dating to
World Wars I and II can be seen from Bayside Trail.

*Dinosaur National Monument Celebrates its Centennial*
Dinosaur NM celebrates its centennial on October 4, 2013.
Citing the authority of the Antiquities Act, President Woodrow Wilson
declared over 2,000 acres a national monument to preserve premier
paleontological resources. Along with dinosaur fossils, however, cultural
history dating back at least 10,000 years was preserved. Indian petroglyphs
and pictographs reveal evidence that many people have come before us.
The Fremont Indians lived in the canyons in Dinosaur NM 800 - 1,200 years
ago. They left behind both petroglyphs (patterns chipped or carved into the
rock) and pictographs (patterns painted on the rock). Pictographs are
relatively rare; sandstone cliffs darkened with desert varnish provide an
ideal canvas for carving petroglyphs. Human figures typically have
trapezoidal bodies, which may or may not include limbs. Decorations suggest
headdresses, earrings, necklaces, shields, or other objects. Animal figures
include bighorn sheep, birds, snakes, and lizards. Abstract or geometric
designs, such as circles, spirals, and various combinations of lines, are
common.
Following the Fremont Indians were the Ute and Shoshone, who still inhabit
communities in the area today. Spanish explorers crossed the region in the
1700s. In the 1800s, settlers from Europe and the eastern United States
arrived in the area and left their mark on the landscape with their
homesteads. Those who had access to the rivers and a constant flow of water
survived, while others dried up with drought and moved away. Now, the
remains of homesteads are found alongside Indian art work of the past.

*International Archaeology Day*
The NPS is partnering with the Archaeological Institute of American to
offer events in coordination with International Archaeology Day on October
19. Parks and regional offices across the nation will be out with the
public. Visit the website to learn more about the day and find events near
you!

*Latino History Research and Training Center Established*
The NPS Spanish Colonial Research Center in Albuquerque has been
restructured as the Latino History Research and Training Center. The change
more accurately reflects the current efforts to support the NPS American
Latino Heritage Initiative and the goals of the recently completed NPS
Latino Heritage Theme Study.
The Spanish Colonial Research Center was developed by the NPS in 1985 and
signaled a commitment to embrace and fortify the agency’s commitment to
interpretation of Latino heritage. The center began as a partnership
between the NPS and the University of New Mexico. The mission of the center
is to create and maintain a documentary database from domestic and foreign
archives and depositories for 40 Spanish Colonial Heritage sites in the
NPS.
The center assists in preparing NPS interpreters and resources managers to
work with Latino audiences and include Latino themes into park
operations. In addition, the center will continue to:
- conduct research, both domestic and internationally, regarding Latino
history as part of our national story;
- provide research, training, and Spanish language translation services
to Federal, state, and local agencies;
- assist parks to achieve NPS Call to Action goals by introducing new
audiences to NPS sites and creating an environment for future generations
to learn more about our national story;
- continue its publication program, including the *Colonial Latin
American Historical Review*, a scholarly, peer-reviewed, quarterly
journal that enjoys an international distribution.
The Latino History Research and Training Center aims to open new doors in
research, interpretation, and preservation of the historical and
contemporary Latino heritage in the NPS. Through outreach, research, and
training, the center will also develop new data regarding Latino heritage
which binds our national story with that of Spain, Mexico, and the rest of
Latin America, with whom we share a common history.

*Tribal Interns Reconnect to Public Lands **at Grand Canyon-Parashant
National Monument*
Native youth employment programs at Grand Canyon-Parashant NM have wrapped
up another successful season. The interns spent the summer experiencing
natural and cultural resource management career options and exploring
traditional homelands of the Southern Paiute, now encompassed within the
monument boundaries.
Maiya Osife served as an intern in interpretation and worked to create and
distribute a newsletter to Southern Paiute Bands located in southern Utah,
northern Arizona and southern Nevada that highlighted partnership
activities with the tribe. She served as a spokesperson and role model for
tribal youth at the newly established Kwiyamuntsi Southern Paiute Youth
Camp, where she shared her work experiences as a member of the historic
preservation crew and as an intern to serve in an Intergovernmental
Internship Cooperative position.
Osife noted “It became clear to me just how vital we are to the career of
natural resources and how important it is to me that I be able to apply my
passion and education to something as important as our land. I believe
strongly that it is so important to have Natives involved in natural
resources and sciences not only to bring our ways into the practice but
also because it is important for our people to be involved and stay
informed on our Native lands and land rights.”
The Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians education committee honored Osife with a
Pendleton blanket at the Sounds of Thunder Pow-wow to acknowledge her high
school graduation. She will attend Portland State University this fall.
The tribal youth cultural preservation crew celebrated its fourth summer
and continued its work to preserve a historic ranching cabin located in the
high mountain pines near Mount Dellenbaugh. Crew members conducted
archeological surveys, and Marisa Ybarra analyzed more than 10,000 pottery
sherds. Ybarra is enrolled at the Mohave Community College. One of the
original crew members, Markuitta Thomas Bushhead returned as crew leader
for a second season.
Grand Canyon-Parashant NM contains more than a million acres of remote
public lands in northwestern Arizona that are co-managed as a Service First
organization by the BLM and the NPS.

*Community Event Traces the 1877 Journey to Nicodemus*
On August 20, 2013, the NPS co-hosted a community learning experience “The
Journey from Ellis to Nicodemus.” Established in 1877, Nicodemus, Kansas,
is the only remaining western town established by African Americans during
the Reconstruction Period following the Civil War. **
A group of NPS staff, Nicodemus Historical Society representatives, and
community members followed the same route from the train depot in Ellis to
Nicodemus that the founders of Nicodemus walked. Angela Bates and Thomas
Wellington, of the Nicodemus Historical Society, provided insight into the
journey and its challenges as well as the assistance provided by the Osage
tribe to early Nicodemus settlers. The tour stopped at the Walz farm and
learned about the original trail crossing property as noted in family
history, as well as wagon ruts, paleontological sites and a World War II
bombing range.
The town of Nicodemus is symbolic of the pioneer spirit of African
Americans. They dared to leave the only region they had been familiar with
to seek personal freedom and the opportunity to develop their talents and
capabilities. Nicodemus NHS represents the western expansion and settlement
of the Great Plains, and includes five buildings: The First Baptist Church,
St. Francis Hotel, Nicodemus School District Number One, African Episcopal
Church, and Township Hall.

*New Tool Helps NPS Share History with Teacher and Students*
Teachers across the country have a new tool to help them engage their
students in classroom and place-based learning. The NPS has launched an
online service to bring America’s national parks into neighborhood
classrooms. The new "Teachers" section of the NPS website provides a
one-stop shop for curriculum-based lesson plans, traveling trunks, maps,
activities, distance learning and other resources. All of the materials
draw from the natural landscapes and places preserved in America’s national
parks.
Through the ‘Teachers’ NPS website, all national parks are throwing open
the doors and inviting teachers and students to learn about literature
using a lesson plan from Carl Sandburg Home NHS, borrow a traveling trunk
from Lava Beds NM, chat online with a ranger at the Grand Canyon NP, or
visit Mt. McKinley in Denali NP. Teachers looking for information about
educational opportunities can now find information about programs at the
park and download lesson plans to enhance the classroom experience with the
click of a mouse. The site is searchable by location, keyword and more than
125 subjects, from archeology, to biology, to Constitutional law. In
addition to park-created content, the site also features educational
materials created by national programs like the National Register of
Historic Places and its award-winning Teaching with Historic Places series
of 147 lesson plans.
The website is just one part of the Park Service’s ongoing commitment to
education. Every year, national parks offer more than 57,000 educational
programs that serve nearly 3 million students in addition to 563,000
interpretive programs attended by 12.6 million visitors. The NPS is working
with partners and educational institutions to expand programs and encourage
the use of parks as places of learning.
Teachers will, for the first time, be able to rate Service-provided
content. The NPS has partnered with the Department of Education to
integrate national park resources into core curriculums. Each summer,
teachers across the country are hired to work in parks to develop
curriculum-based programs based on park resources through the
Teacher-Ranger-Teacher program.

*Newark Earthworks on Track to Clinch World Heritage Status*
The Newark Earthworks are a series of mounds built about 2,000 years ago by
the native Hopewell people. At one time, more than 600 earthen mounds
dotted Ohio. Now, the most-intact examples exist in Licking County — at the
Great Circle in Heath and the Octagon Earthworks - upon which Moundbuilders
Country Club in Newark now sits. Those sites, combined with Hopewell
Culture NHP and Fort Ancient State Memorial, were submitted as a single
Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks nomination in 2008 by the DOI. Two other
Ohio sites — the Great Serpent Mound and a series of Dayton aviation sites
— were also on the tentative list. No Ohio site has yet been approved.
Achieving World Heritage designation instantly raises a site’s cultural
identity, said Dick Shiels, director of Ohio State University’s Newark
Earthworks Center. It brings not only additional awareness and protection
to a site, but also tourists. “Americans don’t pay much attention to World
Heritage sites, but other parts of the world do,” Shiels said. “If we were
to attain World Heritage inscription for the Earthworks, we could expect
significant numbers of European and Asian tourists.” He compared the Newark
Earthworks to Cahokia Mounds, a site across the Mississippi River from St.
Louis. Around 1200, it was home to 30,000 American Indians. Cahokia
attained its World Heritage designation in 1982, and visits grew tenfold
almost overnight — from about 40,000 visitors a year to more than 400,000.
World Heritage status would promote visitation to Mound City NP as well,
and create jobs and revenue for the surrounding communities.
World Heritage status for the Hopewell Mounds is probably three to five
years away. The list was submitted to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The organization’s World Heritage Centre
has put its stamp on more than 900 sites worldwide since it began in the
late 1960s.World Heritage designation would place those sites alongside
such iconic landmarks as Stonehenge, the Great Wall of China and the Great
Barrier Reef.

* **Conversation With An Archeologist: Elaine Hale*
(The Archeology E-Gram is initiating a new series “Conversation with an
Archeologist.” Each month, we talk with an archeologist working in the NPS.)
This month, we caught up with Elaine Hale, Road Program Archeologist at
Yellowstone National Park. The first thing that I had to ask Elaine is,
what exactly is a road program archeologist? I had never heard of the
position. With good reason, too, she told me. Within the National Park
System, a road archeologist is rare.
What does a road archeologist at Yellowstone do? The road system in
Yellowstone is, itself, a cultural resource, as many of the park roads and
bridges were built in the 1880s – 1900s and reconstructed in the 1930s.The
Grand Loop Road and North Entrance road are listed on the National
Register, with the other four entrance roads eligible and in the process of
being listed on the National Register. Some park roads overlay19th century
Euroamerican wagon roads, many of which follow Native American trails. Some
of the Native American trails are thousands of years old, following river
valleys to Yellowstone Lake and Obsidian Cliffs, which have been a source
of obsidian for, literally millennia. The park roads archeologist surveys
the road system, inventorying the road bed and 300 feet on either side.
Because of the long history of the roads, Elaine is responsible for
documenting the roads themselves, all of the historic cultural resources,
and all of the prehistoric sites. It’s a big undertaking!
The Yellowstone Road Program, similar to state departments of
transportation, works with the Federal Transportation Program to design
road improvements in the park. The regional office established a cultural
resources component to the program in the late 1980s. The road
archeologist’s work is driven by Section 106 compliance, when road work is
taking place, and Section 110 inventory, to try to stay ahead of road
projects. Because the oldest roads were put into place before NHPA was
passed, the roadbeds themselves must be surveyed, in the event that the
earliest roads went through archeological sites. The Section 110
inventories are the backbone of the program. The road program folks share
their timetable for re-doing roads with Elaine, and she strives to survey
and document that section of the road ahead of the road construction crews.
It can take 6-8 years to inventory and evaluate all the sites along one
segment of the road system.
Elaine said that when she first joined the program, in 1995, the work was
split between two archeologists. Elaine handled documentation and
evaluation of all of the historic and prehistoric archeological sites,
historic structures, ethnographic resources, and cultural landscapes within
the road corridors. Colleague Ann Johnson handled the same tasks for the
rest of the park. After Ann’s retirement, Elaine had a large part in
pulling together all of the archeological projects in the park, including
the Nez Perce Trail archeology, Yellowstone River and Yellowstone Lake
inventory and evaluation, and archeology along Yellowstone’s 1000 miles of
trails. While it is clear that her first love is prehistoric archeology,
Elaine confesses that she has become fond of the historic archeological
sites within the roadway, that include a town site and early ranch site
burned down by a Nez Perce raiding party, family camps, stage coach stops,
early tourist establishments, and soldiers’ stations.
Since Elaine has started with the road program:
- 180.54 miles or road corridor have been intensely inventoried, tested,
and evaluated, with only 38.20 miles of road corridor left to complete;
- Data recovery on 2 soldier stations, 1 corduroy road, 1 rock quarry, 8
prehistoric sites, and 1 multi-component (historic and prehistoric) site
have been completed;
- Over 60 individual archeological projects with reports (around 800
historic and prehistoric sites) have been documented;
- 3 roads have been listed on the National Register and 3 more
nominations were drafted;
- 9 historic bridges and 1076 historic road features on the Grand Loop
Road (140.+ miles) have been documented to Historic American Engineering
Report standards.
When I asked Elaine how she got interested in archeology she laughed and
called herself an “accidental archeologist.” She went to a tiny high school
in Montana, and majored in social psychology in college. After college, she
spent 13 years as a public programs officer, supervising various public
assistance programs. And, oh yeah, she worked in the movies. The movies? It
turns out that Elaine is one of the select group of NPS employees
(including former superintendent Costa Dillon who helped write the
screenplay for *Attack of the Killer Tomatoes*) who have worked in the film
industry. She says that she worked on the sets of *Young Guns, Flesh and
Bone, *and* The Baker Boys*, among others.
After a stint as a stay-at-home mom, Elaine got a seasonal job with the
NPS. When I asked her how a degree in social psychology turned into an
archeologist’s job at Yellowstone, she said that staff housing was very
tight at Yellowstone, and that she probably got the job because she already
had a house! Another important element, however, was a willingness to do
Section 106 work. Elaine soon burnished her credentials with a degree in
anthropology and was hired in a permanent position in 2002.
Of all the jobs she has had, Elaine seems to have the most affection for
her current work. She loves doing fieldwork in back country, but currently
most often coordinates others’ fieldwork. She loves analysis and writing,
and considers *Yellowstone Archaeology: Northern Yellowstone* (2011)
and *Yellowstone
Archaeology: Southern Archaeology* (2013) to be her legacy. She also likes
to work collaboratively, and finds the colleagues and students that she
works with to be one of the most satisfying parts of her job. Working with
interdisciplinary scientific groups, such as ice patch archeology teams,
has been deeply absorbing.
I asked Elaine what support she wished that she had gotten when she started
out. She was very lucky in that her supervisors gave her a year to learn
the ropes, and she got good training in Section 106 compliance and Section
110 inventory work. The NPS also gave her paid leave to attend school.
Things are different now, and she worries about funding to do archeological
research and compliance work. The next road archeologist, if there is one,
will have a different set of challenges than she faced. She advises newly
minted archeologists not to dismiss road archeology programs. Many, if not
all, states have roads programs, and some of the best archeology is being
done by road archeologists.
Elaine’s degree in social psychology continues to compel her to put the
people back into the picture that she constructs with her research. I asked
her to tell me about one of her favorite projects, and she immediately
named a site that was a campsite for a small family traveling through the
Yellowstone landscape more than 2,900 years ago. The lithic scatters at the
site suggest that a competent knapper sat next to and guided smaller hands
in learning how to knap stone tools. She says that archeologists need to
look more closely at what artifacts tell us about people, particularly
about children.
Like all archeologists, who seem to have more to do than time to do it in,
Elaine has a couple of projects lined up for retirement. She wants to do a
multiple property nomination for Yellowstone Lake and surrounding rivers
for the National Register, tying together almost 20 years of research at
the park. Thanks for talking to us, Elaine!
*Archeology Positions in Federal Government Affected by Sequestration*
Data from OPM indicate that archeology positions in Federal agencies have
been affected by sequestration. Over the past five years, both permanent
and temporary archeology positions increased for the first four years, only
to decrease in the last year. Archeology positions in the NPS, in general,
follow this same pattern. Permanent positions increased by about 30
positions over this time period, despite attrition in the archeology
program at headquarters. The number of temporary positions fluctuated more,
but both decreased between 2012 and 2013.
(See the September E-gram version posted on the NPS Archeology Program *What’s
New *webpage at http://www.nps.gov/archeology/NEW.HTM for illustrative
charts.)

*Chaco Digital Archives Adds 900 New Sites to Data Base*
The Chaco Digital Initiative is a collaborative effort between the NPS, the
University of Virginia, and museums, universities, archives, and
laboratories to integrate widely dispersed archeological data collected
from Chaco Canyon. Its goal is to ensure that archeological research
records are preserved and accessible to future generations. Currently,
these materials are housed at numerous repositories around the country,
making it difficult to answer even fundamental research questions. The
Chaco Digital Initiative is making the research and human history of this
national treasure more easily available through a comprehensive digital
research archive, parts of which can be accessed through a public website.
Two major archeological surveys have taken place in Chaco Canyon over the
last 50 years - the Chaco Project Archaeological Survey done the early
1970s, and the Additional Lands Archaeological Survey conducted in the
1980s. These surveys inventoried cultural resources within Chaco and areas
subsequently added to Chaco Canyon NHP (“Chaco Additions”). The data
generated by these surveys will be useful to researchers interested in
regional and temporal demographic questions pertaining to the area
immediately surrounding Chaco Canyon proper.
Given that these surveys were performed at different times by people with
different research objectives, the two data sets (Chaco Project and
Additional Lands) are not parallel. In order to preserve the resolution of
each data set, the observations from the surveys were entered in separate
database tables. Every effort has been made to preserve both the original
paper forms and to transcribe data *verbatim* as they were recorded by
field analysts.

*SAA Launches New Research Journal*
"Current Research," a news section in American Antiquity, established in
1962, has transitioned to an online format. The mission of *Current
Research Online* (CRO) is to bring greater awareness of current field, lab,
and collections work being conducted by archaeologists around the world in
a timely, clear, and concise manner that is accessible to archeologists and
the public through the Society of American Archaeology web portal. CRO aims
to become a comprehensive, online, database driven search application for
global archeological research. CRO will be updated semi-annually, with an
attractive, easy-to-use, and interactive user interface offering
professional quality reporting output.
The online relational database management system currently in place allows
for various management operations, including submissions, review by
regional coordinators, data storage, text and spatial search functions, and
formatted output, among other tools. Database entries are currently
organized among 20 world regions, each with a Regional Coordinator to
manage submissions. While submissions to CRO are a privilege of SAA
membership, the resource is open to the public to search.

*California Man Convicted Of ARPA Violations*
In early 2007, a 62-year-old California man visited several archeological
sites on public lands in northern California to search for Native American
artifacts. He excavated and removed Native American human remains that had
been previously looted from a rock shelter in 1970 and repatriated by the
Pit River Tribe in 2005. Upon discovering the human remains, the man
contacted the local sheriff’s department, which in turn contacted the local
land manager.
In December 2012, the man was charged with two misdemeanor counts of
attempting to excavate and remove archeological resources from public
lands. He pled guilty to both counts in July 2013, and was sentenced to six
months’ probation, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service, and
required to pay $3,500 in restitution and $50 in court fees.
The case was investigated by the BLM and the NPS Investigative Services
Branch and prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office in Sacramento,
California.
*First NAGPRA Training for Hawaii Parks Held at **Kaloko-Honokohau National
Historical Park*
The Park NAGPRA program has successfully presented its first-ever NAGPRA
training session in Hawaii. Hawaiian parks requested the workshop,* NAGPRA
in the Parks* that took place at Kaloko-Honokohau NHP on September 10-11.
The attendees received a comprehensive overview of the Native American
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and its requirements for
dealing with cultural items in collections, responding to inadvertent
discoveries, and planning for intentional excavations. Other topics
discussed included determining cultural affiliation, evaluating claims, and
reburial of human remains on park lands. Particular attention was paid to
the unique aspects of applying NAGPRA in Hawaii, especially the nature and
definition of Native Hawaiian organizations and what role “lineal
descendants of the parks” and ohanas play in the NAGPRA process.
Park NAGPRA’s program manager, Mary S. Carroll, led the training with
contributions from Fred York, Pacific West’s regional cultural
anthropologist and NAGPRA coordinator. The workshop was well received and
well attended, with 19 participants from 7 parks on 3 islands, including
several superintendents and resource managers.
Additional information about this session, including course materials, can
be found at Park NAGPRA’s SharePoint site (
