Activities Coming Up Soon
Thursday June 23, 2022: Online
“Bears Ears National Monument Digital Documentation and Virtual Guided Tours” free online presentation by with Jared Lundell and Whitney Peterson sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4-5 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Bears Ears National Monument is home to rich cultural heritage and is sacred to many Native American communities who continue to utilize the landscape today. In 2021 the Bureau of Land Management-Utah and the Bay Area non-profit organization CyArk collaborated to create virtual guided tours of two ancestral sites at Bears Ears. CyArk produced the virtual guided tours utilizing techniques in 3D digital documentation to create highly accurate 3D models of the sites. In the virtual experience, BLM’s Shirley Cloud-Lane guides visitors through both sites, engaging them with the storied significance and history of the Bears Ears landscape.

Thursday June 23, 2022: Online
“An Idiot's Guide to the American Upper Paleolithic” free online presentation with archaeologist D. Clark Wernecke, PhD, sponsored by The Archaeological Conservancy, Albuquerque*
5 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
Over the years, a number of researchers have publicly doubted the former mainstream idea that the Clovis culture represented the first peoples in the Americas. Excavations at Monte Verde, Chile, in the 1970s changed the nature and tenor of these arguments. For the first time, a large number of archaeologists agreed that a site showed definitive evidence of human occupation in the Western Hemisphere prior to Clovis. As more evidence surfaced and older sites were re-examined, scholars were forced to revise the story of the peopling of the Americas. Paradigm shifts are messy and there are still just as many questions as answers, but it’s clear that scholars need to test new hypotheses. In this talk, Dr. Clark Wernecke, Executive Director of The Gault School of Archaeological Research in Austin, Texas, will review the history of Paleoindian archaeology and the evidence that debunks the “Clovis First” theory. Additionally, he will examine how this evidence is shifting the paradigm on how scholars perceive the early migrations into the Americas.
