There will be a silent

or the CCPA website, or some aspect of public education. Please bring cool items to donate! If
you plan to donate an item for the silent auction, please inform Susan
Chandler or Rand Greubel.

Informal Slide Show
We would like to have a very
informal slide show that would run in the background during or immediately
following the banquet on Friday night.
The slide show would be loosely themed; basically, just
Colorado
archaeologists and
Colorado
archaeology. The photos can be
fun or serious. We would
prefer pictures of people or with people in them, but cool sites,
excavations, or other project-themed photos are welcome too.
There will be no narration, though some captions or other text may
be added. We think it will be
a fun and interesting accompaniment to the banquet that people can watch
if they like, but also feel free to carry on a conversation.
We would like to receive the photos in some type of digital format (e.g.,
JPG). Please send scans of
older snapshots, 35 mm prints, and slides in addition to more recent
photos taken with digital cameras, so we have a good selection of older
material. If you like, provide
some information with the pictures, such as the names of the individuals
in the photographs, the year, and the project, site, or area depicted.
Email the pictures if possible but please don’t send any single
email over 1 mb; multiple smaller emails are fine.
Alternatively, you can either put the photos on a CD and mail them
or upload to Alpine’s FTP site (we’ll provide the instructions upon
request). It would be helpful
if you sized down the larger files before sending.
Please send your photos to Rand Greubel at Alpine as soon as possible, but
no later than March 15.

Tour

Retired
BLM
archaeologist Rich Fike and his wife, Carol Harris Fike, invite you to a
reception and a tour at the Museum of the Mountain West in Montrose.
The event will start at
5:30 p.m.
The museum features a number
of historic buildings, along with a modern building containing
reconstructions of a saloon, a dry-goods store, and a doctor’s office
(among others); roughly 500,000 historic artifacts are shown in the
displays. Unwind from the day
with some beer or wine in a historic setting.
More information on the museum can be found on the website: www.mountainwestmuseum.com.
The cost of the reception and tour is $10.00.
Field
Trip to
Shavano
Petroglyph
Park
and
Ute
Indian
Museum
A field trip to the
Ute
Indian
Museum
and the
Shavano
Petroglyph
Park
is planned between
9:00 a.m.
and
noon
on Sunday, March 28.
Shavano
Petroglyph
Park
, located in
Shavano
Valley
about 7 miles west of Montrose, is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. We will see
several striking petroglphs, but the focus will be on a panel that depicts
the Ute Bear Dance. The tour
will be guided by Dr. Carol Patterson, an expert in rock art who is very
familiar with the site. We
will start the tour with a visit to the
Ute
Indian
Museum
south of town to better understand Ute culture and the Bear Dance.
The cost of the tour will be $5.00, which will cover the cost of a
pamphlet about the site. The
tour will take about 2 ˝ hours to 3 hours.
Any car can reach the site
area. Once parked,
participants will hike up a trail to the cap rock of a low mesa. The
hike is a few hundred meters long and is easy for people of average
fitness. Please car pool, if
possible, to minimize the number of cars parked along the county road.
Participants will meet at the
Ute
Museum
at
9:00 a.m.
