Hi Gaye and All,
Several other interesting places are in Southern Arizona, including
Tombstone and mines in the southeastern area. Fort Bowie (a two-mile
hike both in and out) is at higher elevations and a bit cold but is
worth the hike. The Bottle Research Group will be at the National Park
Service repository from January 2-5 looking at the collection of bottles
from Fort Bowie. We will also spend that weekend (January 5-7) at Fort
Bowie recording the surface bottle fragments from the main trash dump.
You are welcome to join us at either place if the time is right and you
are interested.

Gaye: You need to know that Flagstaff is just under 8,000' feet above
sea
level and that January is the dead of winter in these northern
latitudes.
There are likely to be plenty of snow and freezing cold tempratures in
the
northern two-thirds of Arizona that time of year. While it's
certainly not
impossible to get around then, you might instead want to consider the
southern third of Arizona, the Sonoran Desert country where there are
plenty
of prehistoric sites to visit and where January weather is far more
visitor
friendly. Through the worldwide web, you can contact such
organizations as
the Center for Desert Archaeology (Tucson), the Arizona State Museum
(Tucson), or the Pueblo Grande Museum (Phoenix). Archaeologists in
those
places may have some leads for you.

Subject: Arizona - looking for a guide
I am going to Arizona after the SHA conference, having always wanted to
look
around the area and see the sights and sites. Are there any local
archaeologists on the list who are free to act as a guide, or who know
of
any archaeological students who wouldn't mind earning some extra money
to
show a stranger around? I am not keen on driving around a strange area
on
the other side of the road, and its no fun exploring on your own.
I will be in Flagstaff between the 16 and 21 January.
