Field Methods in Rock Art
May 11–29, 2009
Field school is well underway with most of the students arriving on Sunday, May 10th.

Monday offered an introductory lecture by Dr. Carolyn Boyd, then they were off into the field. First the class went to Painted Shelter, a site with Red Monochrome paintings of various humans and animals. Then they headed to White Shaman Shelter. This shelter, containing Pecos River style rock art, was where Dr. Boyd began in process of showing how in depth recording in the field, integrated with ongoing research can lead to startling results. A total of three weeks of intensive study will give these students a good foundation in field recording techniques and basic field archeology. For information about next year's course, call or e-mail the SHUMLA office at (432) 292-4848/programs@shumla.org).
