2013 Pecos Experience
March 18 – 22 |
|
 |
 |
Planning for next spring's Pecos Experience is already underway, and staff is excited that the upcoming program will approach Lower Pecos archeology from a new perspective. "We have really exciting guest instructors planned for the 2013 Pecos Experience," reported Dr. Carolyn Boyd, SHUMLA's Executive Director. "Dr. Stacy Schaefer, a Huichol ethnographer, and Dr. Jim Bauml, an ethnobotanist, will be guest instructors next year, and we're planning to focus on an ethnographic approach to Lower Pecos archeology. We think that guests will really love some of the activities we're planning." Currently serving as a professor of anthropology at California State University, Chico, Dr. Schaefer brings an impressive background to the 2013 Pecos Experience. Her combination of curatorial, academic and research experience and her ethnographic field work will bring a unique perspective to studying the rock art of the Lower Pecos.
