NEXT FIELD TRIP: Sunday, April 2, 2023, beginning 9:00 AM: Regular GCAS field trip to City of Rocks State Park - view remnants of Apache shelters along the Cienega Trail, plus features in other easy-access locations like a rock shelter, Apache petroglyph, kiva, and multiple mortar holes. City of Rocks is about a 1-hour drive one-way from Silver City. At 9:00 AM meet at the Cienega Trail trailhead parking (a few hundred yards from the Highway 61 turnoff to the City of Rocks - look on the left side of the road for a parking area with a Port-o-Let). Walk the 1-mile easy Cienega Trail loop to inspect some off-trail features. About 11:00 AM, non-hikers can join the rest of the group to learn about the kiva site a few yards from the Visitor Center. About 11:15 AM, drive round the park’s perimeter road to the north side to view the rock shelter, Apache petroglyph, and mortar holes (short but moderately steep walk uphill from area near campsite #35). Picnic lunch follows at any convenient unoccupied campsite.

13 - Don records Greg's flake findAre you a writer? An aspiring writer? Have you written something about anthropology, archaeology, local history, or some such but you're not sure how to publicize it on the Web?

Do you have an archaeology-related event to announce? Are you excited to share an article or a book you've read? Have you recently visited a historic or archaeological site and have photos to share?

If you answered "Yes!" to one or more of those questions, your Faithful GCAS Webmaster would be happy to include your work right here on this very website.  Even if you want to make a post but don't know what to write about, we can help! There are several topics of interest a prospective blogger may enjoy.

2 - Replica axe demoIf you're unsure about your blogging skills, we can help you frame and edit your post for maximum impact. Your blog post can be as short as one sentence, or as long as you want to make it. Photos are always welcome. And you don't have to stop at just one blog post, either.

We encourage GCAS members to contribute to their website, but you don't have to be a GCAS member to submit a post.  Students at all levels are also welcome to join in the blog-posting fun, and we'd be happy to hear from professional archaeologists who have something to share with all us amateurs.

What archaeology-related issues are close to your heart? Contact Your Faithful Webmaster at webmaster@gcasnm.org!

We'll talk more -
