Tuesday September 13, 2022: Online
      “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom online program featuring “I Believe
that Dreams Have Power” presentation by Tohono O'odham educator Marilyn
Francisco, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson
AZ 85717
      7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). Free.
      For Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s final Indigenous Interests
presentation for this year, our guest speaker Marilyn Francisco wrote, “I
believe that dreams have power.  My dreams are sometimes profound, leading
to self-discovery.  
      “I learned to instill & share these strengths: Family is comfort and
Community can give and receive support.  I would say I consider my community
as extended family. My personal strengths motivate me to be a continuous
learner of self discovery and traditional knowledge. I have had many
challenges, however, important ones because I have learned life lessons from
them.  
      “One of my priorities in life includes education. Although, I didn’t
realize before going back to school that I would become a teacher. I feel
blessed that I can read and write in our language, and now I’m teaching it
to our young people. Our himdag is important and our ni’ok (language) is our
identity.   In general, what one learns is supposed to be passed along to
the next generation, I am doing my best!”
      Please join us for what is sure to be a fascinating evening on
September 13!
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom

Thursday September 15, 2022: Online (An Encore from March 17)
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free
Zoom online program featuring “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?” presentation
by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles, Jr.
      7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). Free.
      “Sinagua” is the name first coined in 1939 to refer to the
pre-European people who inhabited the Flagstaff region of north-central
Arizona. But what, exactly, does this mean? Does Sinagua refer to a
geographic area, a specific kind of pottery, an actual grouping of people,
or is it something else? These are difficult questions this presentation
will attempt to explore. The Sinagua archaeological area of Arizona has been
considered a cultural “frontier,” characterized as a blend of other
cultures, yet unique enough to warrant its own cultural designation.
However, over the years, this uniqueness dissolved as old interpretations
were no longer satisfactorily explaining what archaeologists were finding.
By the 1960s, new areas of study and new explanatory models were developed.
However, these paradigm shifts have failed to satisfactorily answer the
questions posed by past interpretations. These shifts beg the major
questions: Who were the Sinagua, how do they fit into the “Big Picture” of
Southwest prehistory, and what happened to the culture? In order to bring
closure to these questions, archaeologists need to explain how past
questions have been . . . not exactly the wrong questions, but they need to
be re-fitted and examined under a different lens, focused by degrees of
scale. This presentation will attempt to illustrate these different
approaches, as well as to demonstrate that the concept of “Sinagua” is both
fact AND fiction.
      Archaeologist Peter Pilles has studied the Southwest’s Sinagua
archaeological culture for decades. In this presentation (rescheduled from
March 17 when he was unable to share his PowerPoint file) he will give an
overview of Sinagua and how it related to the surrounding, contemporary
Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Pueblo, and Patayan cultures.

Fridays September 16-October 14, 2022: Online
      “Archaeology, Cultures, and Ancient Arts of Southern Arizona”
five-session online adult education class with archaeologist Allen Dart via
Zoom for University of Arizona’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)*
      3-4:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). OLLI Greater Tucson (NW, SE) and Green Valley membership fee of $150
for Monsoon/Fall Semester (7/1/2021 to 12/31/2021) classes or $200 for full
year (July-June) allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses.
      This online class will cover four main topics:
      1) “Archaeology and Cultures of Arizona” will summarize and interpret
the archaeology of Arizona from the earliest Paleoindians through Archaic
period hunters and foragers, the transition to true village life, and the
Formative period Puebloan, Mogollon, Sinagua, Hohokam, Salado, and Patayan
archaeological cultures and their relationships to Arizona’s historical
Native American peoples, to provide context for the archaeological cultures
of southern Arizona.
      2) “Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” will
focus on artifacts, architecture, and other material culture of southern
Arizona’s Hohokam culture. Items the Hohokam left behind provide
archaeologists with clues for interpreting their relationships to the
natural world, time reckoning, religious practices, beliefs, and deities,
and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life.
      3) “Ancient Native American Pottery of Southern Arizona” will provide
details about Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific
eras in southern Arizona precontact and postcontact eras. The instructor
will discuss how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites
and interpreting ancient lifeways of the ancient Early Ceramic and Hohokam
cultures, and of the historical Piman (Tohono O’odham and Akimel O’odham),
Yuman (including Mohave and Maricopa), and Apachean peoples.
      4) “Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art”
features illustrations of southwestern US pictographs (rock paintings) and
petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) and discussion of how
specific rock art symbols are interpreted differently from popular,
scientific, and modern Native American perspectives.
      Instructor Allen Dart, a Registered Professional Archaeologist, is the
executive director of Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center.

Aspen, CO
      “Hunter Creek Shop, CO 2022” HistoriCorps and Hunter Creek Historical
Foundation offer volunteer-assisted rehabilitation and repair project just
outside Aspen, Colorado*
      Arrive between 5 and 7 pm Sunday; daylight hours daily thereafter. No
fees. 
      Lack of public funding has allowed structures on this 60-acre site at
8,000 ft elevation to deteriorate to a state of near oblivion. HistoriCorps
volunteers will excavate sill timbers, pour concrete footers and infill with
local field stones, perform a frame repair and replacement to sill timbers,
wall studs, and roof system, replace the corrugated metal roof, execute
wooden siding repair and replacement, apply exterior weathering solutions to
siding and metal roofing, and more. Historicorps provides all meals, tools,
and training. Volunteers are responsible for their own transit to the site
as well as personal camping equipment, work gloves, work clothes, and sturdy
boots (no sneakers/light hikers). Tent camping is recommended. There is
limited road access to the project site for truck campers and campervans. No
dogs.

September 19, 2022: Online
      “Re-viewing the Dishes: Considering the Place of Salado Polychrome
Ceramics in the Phoenix Basin” free online presentation by Caitlin Wichlacz,
sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
      7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      How were Salado Polychrome (Roosevelt Red Ware) ceramics incorporated
into Phoenix basin Hohokam ceramic assemblages during the late Classic
period? Understanding the roles and relations of Salado pottery within local
assemblages is important to building a better understanding of the social
and material meanings of engagement with Salado ideas, objects, and
practices. As simple as the idea may seem, situating Salado pottery in
assemblage contexts proves to be quite challenging, and for a variety of
surprising and illuminating reasons. This presentation explores a portion of
Caitlin Wichlacz’s current research on vessel form analysis and explores
what can be learned about archaeological research and the archaeological
record by carefully examining both the data and challenges along the way.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. For

bedrock mortars, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks,
where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker,
dancing human-like figures, whimsical animals, and other rock symbols made
by Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph
at Picture Rocks exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on
the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual
celestial equinox, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight
interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight.

Saturday September 24, 2022: Online
      “Education beyond the Mesas: Hopi Students at Sherman Institute,
1902-1929” free online presentation by Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, PhD,
sponsored by the Amerind Museum, Dragoon, Arizona*
      11 am Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      Dr. Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert, Professor and Head of the Department
of American Indian Studies and Professor of History at the University of
Arizona, will discuss how generations of Hopi schoolchildren from
northeastern Arizona “turned the power” by using compulsory federal
education to affirm their way of life and better their community. Sherman
Institute in Riverside, California, one of the largest off-reservation
boarding schools in the United States, followed other federally funded
boarding schools of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in
promoting the assimilation of indigenous people into mainstream America.
Many Hopi schoolchildren, deeply conversant in Hopi values and traditional
education before being sent to Sherman Institute, resisted this program of
acculturation amd drew on their culture to skillfully navigate a system
designed to change them irrevocably.

Resource Preservation” free online Pastfinders Lecture Series with Sean
Hammond, organized by the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, Scottsdale, Arizona*
      5:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      Arizona State Site Steward Coordinator Sean Hammond will discuss the
need to preserve and protect Arizona’s fragile and fascinating historic
cultural resources. This is the role of the Arizona Site Steward Program,
now in its 36th year. Mr. Hammond will present a brief history of the
program, how it became the model for the creation and guidance of several
other site steward programs throughout the West, and how volunteers play a
critical role in every aspect of the program and in the preservation of
archaeological sites. He also will address current challenges of protecting

      “The Great Cave Murals of Baja California” free virtual field trip
with archaeologist Kirk Astroth sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
      11 am-12:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      In forbidding terrain of the Baja California sierras there are
thousands of brilliantly painted pictographs and deeply etched petroglyphs
that have survived for centuries in remote caves and shelters. Designated a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, the more than 80 caves with rock images
are hard to get to and some are off-limits to tourists. This virtual field
trip follows the tour leader’s March 2022 participation in a rigorous mule
trip into these canyons and arroyos to see a small fraction of the ancient
images. This presentation will highlight portions of this incredible 20+
kilometer trip to see amazing pictographs that the Mexican National
Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) dates to 10,000+ years. Some of
the larger-than-life pictographs painted on cave ceilings and walls depict
anthropomorphs more than 7-8 feet tall plus whales, turtles, manta rays,
fish, eagles, deer, bighorns. Tour leader Kirk Astroth is a Registered
Professional Archaeologist and graduate of the University of Arizona
Master’s program.

Tuesdays October 4 and 18, 2022: Online
      “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya and Aztec Codices”
two-session online adult education class with ethnohistorian Michael M.
Brescia, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577,
Tucson AZ 85717-0577
    6:30 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time) each Tuesday. $50 donation ($40 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum)
      Mesoamerican codices are documents created by Maya, Aztec, and other
Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America before and after the
Spanish conquest. The codex tradition provided Indigenous peoples with a
voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking place all around them. In
this Old Pueblo course, Arizona State Museum ethnohistorian Dr. Michael
Brescia examines the manuscript culture of ancient Mexico and what the
codices reveal about the political, economic, social, and cultural rhythms
of daily life for the Maya and Aztec societies of Mesoamerica. He will tease
out multiple dimensions of pre-Columbian Maya society as manifested in
codices such as the Dresden Codex and the Grolier Codex, the latter having
only been authenticated by scholars in 2018.  He will discuss links between
the Maya codices and scholarly efforts to crack the so-called Maya code (a
hieroglyphic writing system), and the changes and continuities in Aztec
(Mexica) society that are revealed in several codices and writings produced
just before and right after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec confederation
in 1521.

Archaeological Research through the Bell County Museum (Belton, Texas) or
the Williamson Museum (Georgetown, Texas) at the Gault archaeological site,
3433 FM 2843, Florence, Texas*
      9 am-noon. $10 (ages 10 and under free). Bell County Museum tours
October 8 and December 10. Williamson Museum tour November 12.
      The Gault School of Archaeological Research (Austin, Texas) offers
guided tours of the Gault archaeological site in partnership with the Bell
County Museum and the Williamson Museum. Gault, about 40 miles north of
Austin, Texas, has produced evidence of almost continuous human occupation
starting at least 16,000 years ago, making it one of the earliest reliably
dated sites in North and South America. For decades most archaeologists
believed that the Clovis Paleoindian people, who made distinctive projectile
points and other stone artifacts, were the first to arrive in the Americas
about 13,500 years ago and that they quickly spread throughout the Americas.
Gault and other earlier sites have refuted the “Clovis First” idea. The
Gault site contains pre-Clovis strata with evidence of human occupation and
has produced evidence that Clovis people were full-range hunter-gatherers
rather than just hunters of mammoths and other big-game animals. Gault’s
upper geological layers have Archaic (9,000 to 1200 years before present)
and late precontact (1200 to 500 BP) archaeological material. Gault also was
a source of high-quality Edwards Plateau chert, which was used for making
flaked stone tools that have been found as far away as northern Colorado.

geopolitical unrest, an endemic virus, a looming recession, and raging
wildfires. Where can we find silver linings from these situations to adapt
and sustain New Mexico’s cultural landscape? In what ways have external
events shaped organizational culture, remote work, virtual fundraising,
audience engagement, and crisis management and how can we continue to adapt
our practices and move toward increased sustainability? The focus will be to
find the benefits of these situations and share best practices about what we
have learned over the last few tumultuous years in order to move toward
sustainability. Conference includes workshops, presentation sessions, and
poster sessions.

Archaeological Sites Tour” guided by archaeologist J. Scott Wood starting at
Goat Camp Ruin in Payson, Arizona
      12-4 pm. $40 donation ($32 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and
Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) includes Old Pueblo’s expenses and
access to sites but no transportation, lodging, or meals. 
      Scott Wood leads Old Pueblo’s car-caravan tour to archaeological sites
of the Central Arizona Tradition (CAT). What is that? It’s a name that
archaeologists Peter Pilles and Scott Wood gave to a cultural lifeway that
developed around 300 CE in central Arizona just north of the Salt River
valley. The CAT was characterized by small wickiup-like pithouses, some
larger bean-shaped houses, and plain brown paddle-and-anvil-made pottery,
without any locally made decorated ceramics. The CAT lasted until about 500
CE when people in most parts of the area began to be assimilated into the
Hohokam, Mogollon-Pueblo, and Sinagua cultures that developed all around
central Arizona. Scott will show us two CAT archaeological sites: Goat Camp
Ruin, where he has been leading excavations since 2008, and Shoofly Village,
where Arizona State University conducted excavations in the mid-1980s.
Payson offers numerous restaurant and lodging options. Participants provide
their own lodging, meals, and transportation. Directions to the meeting
place will be provided to persons who have made reservations.

      “Crescent Moon Ranch, AZ 2022” HistoriCorps and Coconino National
Forest offer volunteer-assisted repair project at Crescent Moon Ranch,
Arizona*
      Volunteers arrive Sunday evening; daylight hours daily thereafter. No
fees. 
      Located about 15 minutes south of Sedona at the base of Cathedral
Rocks, Crescent Moon Ranch was first homesteaded by Prescott cattleman John
Lee in 1880, and was originally called OK Ranch. Lee put in an irrigation
ditch, garden, and orchard, but soon left. Since then, the ranch has changed
hands and been repurposed several times. It was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in April 2022, the first such designation by the
Coconino National Forest in more than 20 years. In this Phase III of the
preservation work at Crescent Moon Ranch, volunteers will help repair many
of the ranch structures including the packing shed, well house, hay loft,
main barn, and water wheel shed.  Volunteers will camp near the ranch in
tents, truck campers, or campervans; the site is inaccessible to RVs and
trailers. Historicorps provides all meals, tools, and training; volunteers
are responsible for their own transit to the site as well as personal
camping equipment, work gloves, work clothes, and sturdy boots (not
sneakers/light hikers).

October 17, 2022: Online
      “Chacoan Perishable Technologies in Regional Perspective” free
presentation by Ed Jolie, PhD, sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
      7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      Between about 850 and 1140 CE, the archaeology of Chaco Canyon in
northwestern New Mexico reveals the rapid construction of large communal
structures where smaller settlements had existed previously and shows that
the locality became the core of an extensive regional system in the Four
Corners region of the northern Southwest integrated by formal trails, the
circulation of nonlocal goods, and the sharing of ritual items. Researchers
debate the role of increased sociopolitical complexity in this development,
but less attention has been given to questions of sociocultural diversity
and its impacts. Guided by previous research suggesting the existence of
sociocultural or biological diversity, Ed Jolie examined large numbers of
baskets, mats, and sandals seeking to distinguish patterned stylistic
variability in woven artifact manufacture with implications for
understanding sociocultural diversity within and across the Chaco system.
This presentation focuses on the distribution of traditions of ritual
basketry at Chaco Canyon and beyond to suggest linkages between the social
entities that maintained them, first at Pueblo Bonito and, later, at
outlying communities. Diversity in ritual practice emerges as factor that
likely both facilitated a shared Chacoan identity and integrated newcomers.
Edward A. Jolie, an anthropological archaeologist, is Clara Lee Tanner
Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate
Professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. He is
of mixed Oglala Lakota (Sioux) and Hodulgee Muscogee (Creek) ancestry, and
an enrolled citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma.

region also appears in the form of graffiti: initials, names, shapes, and
dates including the names of U.S. Army units. Participants will caravan from
the starting place to Meyers Springs Ranch and will conclude with a tour of
Shumla’s research facility in Comstock, Texas.

Sunday October 23, 2022: Comstock, TX
      “Guided Tour to Black Cave and Vaquero Shelter Rock Art Sites” with
archaeologist Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research &
Education Center (Shumla), starting at Shumla, 28 Langtry St., Comstock,
Texas*
      8 am-3 pm. $160.
      Black Cave is a large rockshelter within Upper Presa Canyon in
Seminole Canyon State Park that contains striking and vibrant rock art,
owing its preservation to its location high above the shelter floor (which
probably would have required the construction of scaffolding to create).
Vaquero Shelter gets its name for the Historic period rock art depicting two
riders mounted on horseback with a longhorn cow and calf adjacent to a
structure resembling a Spanish mission and a man in a Spanish uniform. Other
rock art styles are present denoting continued use throughout precontact
times.

Thursday November 17, 2022: Online
      “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
“Navajo Pueblito Sites in Dinétah: Origins and Variability” presentation by
archaeologist Ronald H. Towner, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson
      7 to 8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      Pueblitos, as the name implies, are small masonry structures. In the
ancestral Navajo homeland of Dinétah in northwestern New Mexico, more than
250 such structures and associated hogans have been documented. Once thought
to be the result of a massive immigration of Pueblo people fleeing the
Spaniards, research in the past 2+ decades demonstrates significant
variation in these sites over time. This presentation describes this
variation and suggests important implications for understanding Navajo
cultural development and land use in the 18th century. Dr. Ronald H. Towner,
an Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research and School of
Anthropology at the University of Arizona, did his dissertation on Navajo
pueblitos and has more than 35 years experience in western US archaeology in
contract, academic, and volunteer settings.

Friday & Saturday November 18 & 19, 2022: Central Arizona
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Salado, Whatever that Means” tour
with archaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart starting in northwest corner of
Walmart parking lot at 1695 N. Arizona Blvd., Coolidge, Arizona
      9 am Friday to 1 pm or later Saturday. $99 donation per person ($80
for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum
members) includes all site entry fees and Old Pueblo’s expenses but no
transportation, lodging, or meals.
      Archaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart lead this car-caravan
educational tour to central Arizona archaeological sites representing the
“Salado phenomenon.” What does “Salado” mean? Was Salado a distinct
precontact-era culture like the Ancestral Pueblo, Hohokam, Mogollon, and
Patayan cultures (all of which were at least partly contemporary with
Salado)? If not, then what was Salado exactly? During this tour, Rich and Al
will discuss these ideas during visits to the Casa Grande Ruins in Coolidge
and Besh Ba Gowah Pueblo and Gila Pueblo on Friday, and Tonto National
Monument’s Lower Cliff Dwelling and the Schoolhouse Point Platform Mound
archaeological site near Roosevelt Lake on Saturday. On the drive from
Coolidge to Globe, participants will see spectacular central Arizona
mountains and scenery including Queen Creek Canyon, Devil's Canyon, and the
fabled Apache Leap. There are several restaurant options in Globe for Friday
lunch and dinner and Saturday breakfast. Participants provide their own
lodging, meals, and transportation.
      Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Friday
November 11, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or

Thursday December 15, 2022: Online
      “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
“Tracking the First Americans across the White Sands” presentation by
archaeologist Vance Holliday, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
      7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free
      The question of when people first arrived in the Americas, based on
scientific evidence, has been argued for decades and even centuries. For
many years the conventional answer was about 13,000 years ago with the
appearance of people who made distinctive artifacts called Clovis points
(named for a famous archaeological site near Clovis, New Mexico). Other
sites have been proposed as being older than Clovis. A few early occupations
ca. 14,000 to ca. 16,000 years old were about the oldest well-documented
sites accepted by most (but not all) archaeologists. The White Sands
locality changed that for many archaeologists. The site provides convincing
evidence that humans were in what is now southern New Mexico between 23,000
and 21,000 years ago. That is the oldest obvious case we have. Human
activity in the form of footprints is quite clear and numerous and the
dating is solid. At other sites considered older than Clovis, often there
are debates over the age or presence of humans, which is usually based on
interpretations of broken rocks or bones as tools. The time range for the
tracks at White Sands is significant because it puts people in the Americas
during the last Ice Age, which means they were likely here sooner, before
the last Ice Age covered essentially all of Canada from coast to coast maybe
25,000+ years ago.

over and is especially abundant in the southwestern region of North America.
With 20 hours of seminar and 42 hours of fieldwork, this course will provide
enrollees a basic intellectual and practical experience in the inventory and
documentation of rock imagery. While both the classroom and fieldwork
components will be situated in southern Arizona, the knowledge gained and
skills developed will be applicable to any rock imagery context worldwide.
Participants who successfully complete the course will have developed a
general familiarity with rock imagery, be able to converse with more
experienced avocationals and professionals in the field, understand the
relevant laws, methods, and ethics, and be field-ready for future field
projects. 
      Class sessions scheduled for Saturdays January 21, February 4 and 18,
March 4 and 25, and April 8 and 22 each will include 2½ hours of
in-classroom and 5½ hours of field recording time with two half-hour breaks.
Most or all of the class fieldwork will be at the Picture Rocks petroglyphs
site west of Tucson. Participants are responsible for providing their own
transportation, lunches, and lodging. Participants also are encouraged to
attend the March 3-6 American Rock Art Research Association Conference in
Tucson (information to be forthcoming).
      Dr. Aaron Wright is a Preservation Anthropologist with the
Tucson-based Archaeology Southwest nonprofit organization and author of
Religion on the Rocks: Hohokam Rock Art, Ritual Practice, and Social
Transformation (University of Utah Press, 2014) among other publications.
      The class meets the requirements of the Arizona Archaeological Society
(AAS) Training, Certification and Education (TCE) program's “Rock Art
Recorder” course. For information on the AAS and its TCE program visit
<http://www.azarchsoc.org/page-807603> www.azarchsoc.org/page-807603.
