In Remembrance: Mary Roberts "Bobbi" YancyMay 2, 1937 - April 30, 2005

It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to Bobbi Yancy, wife of ourprevious AAS State Chair, Gary Yancy. Bobbi passed away on April 30 aftera long struggle with Alzheimer’s. Although not directly involved in archaeological activities, Bobbi always supported Gary’s passion for archaeology, and was a familiar face to many of us at archaeological events,meetings and field projects.

Bobbi was born in Ashland, KY. She moved to Arizona at 3 months, andloved the Southwest all her life. She and Gary married on June 4, 1955, andhad four children, after which Bobbi became very active in school, scout and

Learn to walk a straight transect, mapsites, and do onsite analysis of lithicsand sherds at the second year of theWalnut Creek Field School, sponsoredby the Yavapai Chapter, with generoussupport from Sharlot Hall Museum.The AAS certification course, SurveyTechniques I, will be offered Sept. 19–30, 2005 (with a break on the weekend)at the Walnut Creek Center for Educa-tion and Research, a beautiful area inthe Prescott National Forest about 36miles out of Prescott along WilliamsonValley Road. Paul Long, the FieldSchool Director, has extensive experi-

ence as an instructor and archaeologistand is currently the owner of Mountain-Aire Research Systems.

Walnut Creek is an area rich in prehis-tory. Participants in last year’s field school found and studied four sites. Atypical day begins with surveying andsite recording in the cool juniper/oakwoodlands. Plan on possibly walkingup to two miles each day throughbrushy terrain on moderate slopes ataltitudes of 5260 feet. Then return tothe Center’s classroom for lectures from Paul and other invited speakers.

The two-week session costs $200. Freecamping in a lovely wooded setting isavailable for those who would rathernot make the drive out from Prescott ondirt roads each day. Non AAS memberswill need to join the AAS to participate.The Prehistory of the Southwest courseis a pre-requisite; some exposure tolithic or ceramic identification is useful.

For more information, please contactSusan Jones, Field School representa-tive, (928) 776-9085, or email [email protected]. Hope to see you in Sep-tember!

CHAPTER NEWS

Agave House Chapter

On May 14th, 18 Chapter membersenjoyed a pre-trip breakfast at WestSide Restaurant in Snowflake, and ashort shopping adventure at Grey'sPetrified Rock Shop in Holbrook,before following our guide ontoprivate land abutting the PetrifiedForest National Park. “The Petrified Forest area is a land of quiet grandeurand vivid contrasts." It is also one ofthe largest storage vaults ofknowledge about life during the age ofdinosaurs. The area also contains awealth of scenic, scientific, andhistorical values and abundantevidence of the Indians who oncelived here. Our journey was toobserve a small portion of thisevidence in the form of petroglyphs.Handprints, snakes, humpbacked fluteplayers, kachina faces, animal forms,spirals, designs and many otherfigures adorn the cliffs. The dramaticrock art brings us messages from lostcivilizations - but what does it say?Are these petroglyphs recordingmyths or doodles? Are they lifeaffirmations or simply artisticexpressions? Most rock art remains amystery to understand and a marvel torevere.

The area was covered with flowers ofall colors bursting forth after thewinter rains. Distant valleys appearedas multicolored hues of carpet.Breathtaking!

We are looking forward to our nextfield trip to The Stepps in Holbrook.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday,May 25th, 6:30 at the Black MesaRanger Station. Scott Wood will beour speaker for May and Geno Bahewill be the speaker for the June

meeting. Please call Norman Vietherat 928-535-9059 for information.

Our September 13th general meetingwill be presented by chapter projectleaders. Certificates will be providedall members who have given so muchof their time during the 2003-2004and 2004-2005 seasons for Pierpointsurvey, mapping, and rock artrecording, Calderwood lithic andceramic labeling and analysis, andWhite Tank rock art recording.

Chapter projects are progressing well.

The Pierpoint site may require onlyone more year to gain enoughinformation on which to base acomprehensive map and final reportof the site. Rock art recording atAZ:T:6:1 in the White Tanks includesthe Black Rock Loop Trail(completed), the open areas whichlead to the draw that follows theWaterfall Canyon trail (completed),and the Waterfall trail itself. Work inthis canyon began this year atPetroglyph Plaza which includesbetween 60–70 boulders (completed)in this one locus!! The fourth seasonat the White Tank Mountains will findrecorders proceeding up the WaterfallCanyon from the plaza. Their greatestjob is ahead of them.

The Calderwood lithics are all labeledand lab techs are about half waythrough Level I analysis. Ceramiclabeling is also at the halfway stagewith around 5,300 sherds labeled. Athird of the faunal bone has beenrebagged in preparation for washingand labeling (India ink) of selectspecimens to be used in the upcomingfaunal analysis class held from May31 to July 2 at the ASU AnthropologyBuilding faunal collections lab.

Mohave Chapter

. Mr. Joe Vogel, Aviator,was the speaker at our May meetingand he literally flew in for theoccasion. Loren Wilson, chapter

archivist, transported Joe from theKingman airport to the meeting site,The Mohave Museum of History andArt. Mr. Vogel's fifty-plus 35 mmslides went by too quickly as hedescribed extremely interestingaspects of aerial photography andwhat he has been able to discoverfrom the air. He has two airplanes, aBeechcraft and a Citabria; the formerfor site searching and the latter for sitephotography. Good cameras withtelephoto lenses and open windowsare requirements for good aerialphotographs, usually done at 1,000feet. Another important ingredient isthe time of day. He described flyingover an area many times and notseeing anything but on one occasion,when the sun was at a critical angle,he was able to see a telltale alignmentthat indicated a man-made feature.Rock alignments are easier to discernfrom the air than at ground level.

A field trip for May 21st has beenscheduled by Stan Krok. He will leadhikers over what he describes as thewestern segment of the BoundaryCone aboriginal trail. Our chaptermeets at 7 pm on the 2nd Thursday ofeach month at the Mohave Museum ofHistory and Arts, 400 W. Beale St.,Kingman. The speaker for the Junemeeting will be Mr. Craig Johnson,archaeologist, who recently joined thestaff of the Kingman BLM fieldoffice. Please contact Ron Smith [email protected] for furtherinformation about these or otherchapter activities.

Phoenix Chapter

Our guest speaker for the Maymeeting was Dr. David Abbott andwas entitled, "Amazing

Sophistication: Hohokam PotteryProduction and Exchange in thePhoenix Basin." Dr. Abbott describedrecent technological improvements inpottery analysis and dating. Thesetechniques have overturned many oldconcepts of pottery production andexchange. For example, for certainperiods of time, pottery was onlymanufactured in specific areas of theValley for distribution to otherspecific areas. Exchange may havebeen associated with ball courtceremonies.

Our guest speaker for June will belongtime member Tom Cook, whowill describe his trip to Africa. GreatZimbabwe is the largest prehistoriccomplex and also, one could say, themost spectacular archaeological site inAfrica south of the Sahara. Tom wasfortunate to spend some time there in1977 and was able to photographthese dramatic ruins. While inRhodesia (the colonial name for thecountry), he was also lucky to meetthe archaeologist who had done themost recent work at Zimbabwe, Dr.Thomas Huffman. Dr. Huffman wasthe archaeologist for the NationalMuseum of Rhodesia at the time.

Our next major field trip will be toSears Point on the Gila River about 40miles west of Gila Bend. This trip isto an area that is generally Patayanwith some Hohokam influence. Thesite features a great abundance ofpetrogylphs, ancient trails, rockalignments and historic inscriptions.This trip will take place in the fall, butthe exact date has not yet been set.We will meet at 10:00 AM on aSaturday, at the Spot Road exit (Exit78) from I-8 (about a 2 hour drivefrom Phoenix). Tom Harvey will leadus across about 8 miles of dirt road to

the site. The road is suitable forpassenger cars.

The trip will require boots or sturdywalking shoes, lots of water,sunscreen, a hat, bug spray, food, aday pack or fanny pack, and campinggear if you are staying overnight.There is much to see here, so you maywant to camp overnight and spendtwo days. Camping is unimproved;there are no designated campsites andno water or facilities. Contact TomHarvey at 480-998-0035 [email protected] for moreinformation.

Rim CountryChapter

Anthropophagy was the subject forMay. Penny Dufor-Minturn gave usan impassioned presentation outliningits practice in the Four Corners from800 AD to 1300 AD. Penny put theproof together just like a murdermystery, each point supporting thepractice. Burning, cutting, boiling,pot polishing, broken bones, highbone count, and cut marks led to onlyone conclusion - cannibalismpracticed here. Given that conclusion,the question asked was, “What was the reason?” Maybe it was a response to terrorism. In any case, it was partof the territory.

We continue to meet the secondSaturday of each month. Ourmeetings will return to MRCA onMain June 11th. The speaker will beJeffery Clark, who will discussmigration into the San Pedro Valley.Better call quickly to get a seat for theChaparral Pines Benefit Luncheon.-"From Pithouse to Pueblo". It is June19th...11:30 to 2 $25 per person willget you in. The July 9th meeting willfeature Scott Wood, ChiefArchaeologist of the Tonto NationalForest. We look forward to seeinganyone who is interested at all threemeetings.

Verde ValleyChapter

Scott Wood, archaeologist from theTonto National Forest and Aqua FriaNational Monument, spoke at our

May meeting on what he calls theCentral Arizona Tradition. Scott gaveus a picture of the early people thatlived east of the Mogollon Rim andjust north of the Tonto Basin. Thisarea is northeast of the area Dr.Wilcox (Museum of NorthernArizona) discussed in hisConfederacy Theory. (check April'sPetroglyph) The two talks combine togive us a broader picture of themovement and integration of theregion's people.

Scott's talk, with his slides of aerialand ground surveys, made theMogollon-Hohokam connection.Culturally and genetically they wereUto-Aztecan - Hohokam people.Evidence of these connections werefound though out the region, such asraised mounds, up to 40- or 50-roompueblos, paddle-and-anvil potteryfinish, and evidence of race tracksamong others. This indicates thatearly Hohokam moved up and out ofthe Salt and Gila basins makingconnections to the northern Arizonapeople.

Club members continue to excavate atthe V-Bar-V Petroglyph Site beforethey begin the backfill process. In theprocess, they have uncovered oneactivity surface and a reasonableassemblage of tools that may havebeen used for petroglyph carving. Toconfirm these hypotheses, they areopening up a new trench with threemore excavations and continuing inone of the earlier trenches. Also foundwere lithics and ceramics dating toabout 1,000 A.D.

Dr. Wilcox’s study on Perry Mesa included sourcing the obsidian foundin the area. The obsidian collectedwas sent to Berkeley for x-ray

fluorescence study. This non-destructive procedure identifies thepresence and quantity of traceelements in the obsidian. It thencompares those results with resultsfrom known obsidian sources todetermine the source of the specimen.

Dr. Wilcox found that most of theobsidian came from GovernmentMountain and other Northern Arizonasites. He then asked Phil Geib to lookat the collection to see if some of thespecimens could have been "ApacheTears", which led Dr. Wilcox to theconclusion that the Perry Mesa peoplewere trading to the north forGovernment Mountain obsidian and tothe south for "Apache Tears" obsidian,indicating open trade between thenorth and the south.

Our volunteer efforts continue in thecollections and research areas at theMuseum of Northern Arizona inFlagstaff. The collection staff oftenhas special needs in which they canuse our help. It is thrilling to see andwork with the MNA treasures.

We have been inventorying theextensive Babbitt Collection and willsoon begin ceramic identification,followed by digitally photographingthe pieces. .

Several other projects continue theAgua-Fria Hilltop survey work wehave been doing with Dr. Wilcox.We've identified and labeledrecovered sherds and lithics, mappednewly located sites and developed adatabase of photographed sites.

We will continue our work throughthe summer, on Wednesdays. If youwould like to join the group, or evencome up one day to see the

opportunities, just call MarleneConklin at 282-0794. No previousexperience is necessary. We all learntogether with staff guidance.

Our September speaker will beannounced in the September issue ofPetroglyph. We meet the thirdThursday of each month. We willmeet Thursday, Sept. 22nd, at 7p.m. inthe Keep Sedona Beautiful building,360 Brewer Rd., Sedona. Visitors arewelcome.

Yavapai ChapterNeil Weintraub spoke at ourApril meeting on the abandonment ofthe Colorado Plateau. He studied over3000 sites south of the Grand Canyonwith datable ceramics largely in theWilliams, Sycamore Canyon andHell’s Canyon area. He also concentrated on the time of Pueblo II(1100–1300 AD). At that time, 70%of the dwellings had only one or tworooms and 62% had fewer than 400sherds. Neil theorized that most ofthese sites were occupied for only abrief time. Using maps to indicate themovement of the dated ceramicpottery, Wepo B/W and Black MesaB/W were the most plentiful. Heshowed the migrations of these peoplefrom the rim to Wupatki, to theSycamore Basin, then on to the VerdeValley. Sycamore Canyon seems tohave been abandoned by 1025 to 1050AD, the Verde Valley by 1350 to 1400AD, and Chavez Pass by 1400 AD. Henoted that even today the Bear Clan

maintains shrines on Bill WilliamsMountain.

Several members of the chapterattended the grand opening ofHonanki and walked the newhandicapped trail. Peter Pilles showedus the carved hoof, so similar to theone found at Coyote Ruin, which hadbeen found there. It is a beautiful sitewhich still retains a feel of thewilderness even with its moreaccessible improvements.

Field trips were finally resumed inApril; Vern Neal led a group of six outDugas Road to a petroglyph site. Notonly were the petroglyphs worthphotographing, but the spring flowerswere, too.

On June 16, 2005, Dave Doyel willtalk to the chapter on the Gatlin Sitenear Gila Bend. The meeting will bein the pueblo of the Smoki Museum at7:30 pm.

Contrary to Yavapai Chapter’s usual custom, there will be no meeting inJuly, but meetings will resume inAugust with a speaker to beannounced later. For furtherinformation, call President RonRobinson at 928-759-9B21or VicePresident Fred Kraps at 928-778-0653.

In the near future I will be preparing what I would like to be aCOMPLETE bibliography of all reports that have been writtenunder the auspices of any and all AAS projects, and place in on theAAS website. I envision it being in two parts: (1) a complete list-ing in alphabetical order by author's last name (basically a stan-dard bibliography), and (2) a complete listing of the reportsgrouped by the chapter in which they originated.

This will disable several avians with one lithic: it will give AASand non-AAS members alike a place to go to search for AAS-related reports. It will serve as one type of record of AAS accom-plishments and adherence to the goals of preparing research de-signs, and progress- and final-reports for the archaeological andpublic outreach projects that we do. And it will provide chapters aquick reference for checking what the next numbers may be ofoccasional papers, etc., that are applicable to reports in prepara-tion.

Concomitant with this project, I would like get copies of ALL of

these same reports and put them into either the Arizona State Mu-seum Archives or ASM Library, so that there will be copies read-ily available in a public repository. A quick perusal of the ASM"LARC" on-line catalog shows 56 entries for "Arizona Archaeo-logical Society" as the publisher, and includes all of THE ARI-ZONA ARCHAEOLOGIST series, and most of the various occa-sional papers. Once I've got the reports that I know about postedon the AAS website, I'll start contacting AAS chapters and askingfor copies of any other reports you've produced over the years,including research designs, interim and progress and special analy-sis reports, and final reports, both published and especially unpub-lished. So those of you out there that track such things might startthinking about compiling a list of all your chapter's reports. As forgetting copies of reports for ASM, I'd like to either borrow reportsso that I can copy them on acid-free paper at ASM, or I'm happy tomail some acid-free paper to you if you're inclined to copy themfor me! I'll submit updates to this project to THE PETROGLYPHas it progresses.

AAS BIBLIOGRAPHY

Burning is a common occurrence inthe archaeological record of theSouthwest but seldom has a system-atic study of the role of fire been initi-ated. Arizona State Museum archae-ologists and arson experts will initiatea systematic study this summer at theancestral Hopi site of ChevelonPueblo, a 13th and 14th century vil-lage located at the confluence of theLittle Colorado River and ChevelonCreek near Winslow, AZ.

During the course of mapping andtesting structures at the Chevelon sitelast year, archaeologists noted wide-spread burning. With the assistance offormer FBI arson investigator Timo-thy Huff, two contiguous burnedrooms were excavated and the sourceand spread of the fire were investi-gated and determined. Clues weregleaned from burn patterns on wallplaster, surviving charred artifacts,and the extent and depth to which

wooden roof beams were burned. Sug-gesting the fire's point of origin weresoot patterns on the walls of bothstructures and extensive plaster dam-age in convergent corners.It was determined that the fire was setintentionally in the roof and left tospread along grass and small cotton-wood beams of the roof. Probably theearthen part of the roof was removedto enable the fire to sustain itself.

Continuing their research this sum-mer, the ASM crew has again engagedthe services of arson investigators tofurther study the structural fires atChevelon. "Our goal is to develop abetter understanding and interpretationof ancient fires, which are so prevalentin the archaeological record," explainsprogram director and archaeologist E.Charles Adams. "Better science willresult from our collaboration with ar-son investigators."

Chuck Adams and UA anthropologygraduate student A.J. Vonarx lead theteam that will construct and intention-ally burn structures faithfully modeledafter those excavated at Chevelon.Several fire investigators and otherarchaeologists will be present to assistin the construction and destruction."We will be constructing up to threerooms using the same materials ashave been excavated at Chevelon -stone walls, mud mortar, and woodenroofs covered with dirt," says Vonarx."The rooms will have the same dimen-sions and openings as found in typicalChevelon rooms and artifacts will alsobe placed on the floor similar to onesrecovered." The only modern addi-tions to the architecture will be ther-mocouples built into the walls tomeasure heat. The fires, scheduled tobe lit on July 11 and 12, will be setaccording to the evidence gleanedfrom last year's studies.

Video cameras will record the burningand fire-modeling software will ana-lyze the results. The physical remainsfrom the reconstructed burns will thenbe compared to the archaeologicalremains. "We hope to learn when,where, how, why, and who started thefires that burned more than 100 of the500 rooms at the village," says Ad-ams. "Did the Chevelon occupantsburn the rooms themselves, did outsid-ers set the fires, or is there an environ-mental explanation such as grass fireor spontaneous combustion? By betterunderstanding the origin and spread ofstructural fires we will be able to re-

construct the events causing ancientfires."

Peoples all across the Earth have longcreated rock art and the people wholived on the Colorado Plateau were noexception. Stories on Stone, an ex-hibit opening June 4, 2005 at the Mu-seum of Northern Arizona in Flag-staff, takes a broad look at an ancientform of communication and begins tounlock the stories held in these intri-cate symbols and images.

Ever wondered about the mysteries ofrock art? Stories on Stone exploreshow rock art was made, how it is stud-ied today, how it can be understood,and how it can be conserved for gen-erations to come. "The Colorado Pla-teau has a rich heritage of rock art, leftby cultures spanning over 12,000years and across many archaeologicaltime periods," says MNA Deputy Di-rector Stefan Sommer. "This exhibitbrings together many of the mostbeautiful examples that remain today."Visitors have the opportunity to seehow scientists study rock art usingscaled photography, dating tech-niques, and spectral analysis.

"The exhibit explains how all of ourstudy techniques are nondestructive,"says Evelyn Billo, one of the exhibitcurators. Billo and her husband, Dr.

Bob Mark, have been recording rockart in the Southwest and around theworld for 25 years. "Rock art is frag-ile and must be treated with care andrespect. We cannot bring rock art to aresearch lab, but through a variety ofnew technologies we can record,study, and display it. In fact, some ofthese techniques can be used to revealimages that have faded over time."

Both petroglyphs and pictographs ex-ist in this region. Petroglyphs are en-graved images that are carefullychipped out with stone chisels. Theserenderings required a great deal oftime, effort, and precision. Picto-graphs are hand-brushed, hand-printed, and blown paint images madewith natural pigments. They are par-ticularly fragile as pigments can washaway, fade, and peel. Nonetheless,pictographs have survived in excellentcondition in protected places. Whilepetroglyphs seem less fragile, they arealso vulnerable to natural erosiveprocesses and other physical damage.These fragile works survive best indry conditions, which explains theamazing density and variety of rockart found in this Four Corners region.

Why did people go to such great effort

to chisel out intricate images and pre-pare a rich array of natural pigmentsfor their paintings? Stories on Stoneexplores many purposes that rock artmay have served. Symbols were usedto tell time by tracking the sunthrough the seasons. Apparently thesetime-telling tools were also used toidentify key dates such as plantingtime and the times for ceremonies,essential to their existence. These im-ages sometimes depict significantevents, such as the Spanish encroach-ment, the appearance of new technolo-gies like the bow and arrow, and theadvent of new ceremonies and culturalpractices. Some rock art may docu-ment important stories and legend, orgive us a glimpse into important life-ways by depicting everything fromhunting techniques to hair styles.Some rock art murals display complexsocial interactions, fantastic humanoidbeings, and a wide array of differentplants and animals. In many casesrock art had a spiritual function inceremonies as symbols for healing andfor fertility.

The Museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.daily. For further information, call928/774-5213 or visit the website atwww.musnaz.org

2005 Pecos ConferenceWhite Rock (near Los Alamos) New Mexico

The tradition of research collaboration and sharing that began in 1927 at Pecos Pueblo continues on the Pajarito Plateauat White Rock (near Los Alamos), under the guidance of dedicated archaeologists, tribal representatives, and local, stateand federal agency sponsors.The purpose of the Pecos Conference, as Alfred Vincent Kidder put it in summing up the first such gathering is to...

"...bring about contact between workers in the Southwest field to discuss fundamental problems of Southwestern prehis-tory; and to formulate problems of Southwest prehistory; to pool knowledge of facts and techniques, and to lay a foun-dation for a unified system of nomenclature."

Deliberately informal, the Pecos Conference affords Southwestern archaeologists a superlative opportunity to talk withone another, both by presenting field reports and by casual discussions. It is a chance to see old friends, meet new ones,pick up fresh information, organize future conferences, and have a great time.

In recent years, Native Americans, avocational archaeologists, the general public and media organizations have come toplay an increasingly important role, serving as participants and as audience, to celebrate archaeological research and tomark cultural continuity.
