VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Southeastern Utah, Bluff / Comb Ridge Heritage Initiative Project

University of Colorado and BLM

 

Gleaned from a recent ARARA newsletter, Winston Hurst requests, “The Comb Ridge Heritage Initiative Project conducted by the BLM and University of Colorado is looking for volunteers willing to spend one or more days sketching rock art panels in the San Juan River/Comb Ridge area between now & May 31.

 

"As part of our ongoing Comb Ridge survey for University of Colorado and BLM, my crew and I are trying to line up volunteers to help with this daunting task. Recording materials and tools will be provided, and some help with gas and limited subsistence support is negotiable. We have a number of interested people, but none have yet committed to a specific date or laid claim to a specific site.”

Other News

 

Large Clovis Cache Found in Boulder: Landscapers were digging a hole for a fish pond in the front yard of a Boulder home last May when they heard a "chink" that didn't sound right. Just some lost tools. Some 13,000-year-old lost tools. They had stumbled onto a cache of more than 83 ancient tools buried by the Clovis people - ice age hunter-gatherers who remain a puzzle to anthropologists. The home's owner, Patrick Mahaffy, thought they were only a century or two old before contacting researchers at the University of Colorado-Boulder. http://colorado.edu/news/

VANDALISM ALERTS

 

Petroglyph Vandalism Prosecuted: Last week, two men pled guilty for defacing cultural artifacts dating back more than a century on federal land. Each face $1,100 in fines and $2,625 in restitution to repair the damages. Sergio Corona-Venzor, 41, of Montrose and Oscar Ortega, 41, of Delta carved their names and the date on an Anasazi rock art panel. The petroglyph, known as the Roc Creek Rock Art Panel, is located on BLM land south of Gateway.
