Party of the Century

Windy day on the Jornado

Last night was the School of Anthropology's Party of the Century-- celebrating it's 100th anniversary. There was a wall of old photos showing off field work by folks in the department and these two blasts from the past showed up...

Waking up to see your dissertation looming over you...

Over looking a tinaja on a hike out to see some pictographs

This weekend I drained the water set aside for mortar mixing out of our surplus water buffalo. I created a tiny waterfall in the middle of the desert.

Working on teaching myself IR photography for petroglyph recording. Snapped this apocalypse shot from a rock art site in the park.

Night Photography

Some night petroglyph photograph in the park. If you look closely you can see the andromeda galaxy.

Mining Archaeology

Here is a shot above a uranium mine in the park's expansion. It appears there was an underground tunnel and the remains of 18" rail track are found across the site.

We are getting close to the summer field season...

Fall above Durango

I got to give an archaeology talk in Durango last fall. I forgot to clean the pictures off the camera. The leaves changing in the mountains with the rain and fog, and later snow was pretty spectacular.

Upcoming 2015 Field Season

Wow, things do tend to slow down after the end of the field season...

But now it is time to get ready for next summer. Here are four potential summer 2015 field season posters. Any preferences?
