Was gone Thursday & Friday giving a talk to a Rotary Club venue, visiting friends & meeting curation people at Ft. Johnson.
Here is a poster I designed to help laypeople understand the depth of time of Indigenous history in the area. Except for my reproduction pots of certain cultures & our modern metate & mano, everything consists of provenienced artifacts.
Gave a few copies to the Ft. Johnson curation staff & the local archaeology society branch president. #archaeology#PublicArchaeology
