Pecos Experience: The Art and Archeology of the Lower Pecos
November 9–14, 2003
|
| In November 2003, a group came together to explore the lower Pecos River canyonlands. During their week on the lower Pecos they visited ancient rock art sites, and learned how to make paint the prehistoric way with Dr. Carolyn Boyd, author of Rock Art of the Lower Pecos. Participants also built an earth oven and learned about the medicinal and food plants of the region with botanist/archeologist Dr. Phil Dering. They created baskets, stone tools, and other implements under the tutelage of Ray Olachia, Mescalero Apache. In the evenings there were discussions on hunter-gatherer lifeways and the role of art in hunter-gatherer societies. These people had a week of experiences that they will never forget. |
