NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at 6:00PM: it's the GCAS annual holiday get-together at 2045 Memory Lane in Silver City! Our holiday custom is to have a potluck with a virtually nonexistent business meeting and no official program, followed by a white-elephant gift exchange and general holiday good times. Dress festively and bring your best holiday dish to share! (In order to offer our members a safe and comfortable experience the GCAS follows CDC and New Mexico Department of Health guidelines for indoor gatherings including masking, distancing, and vaccinations. We recommend all attendees follow the same.

NEXT FIELD TRIP: Sunday, December 3, 2023: our next field trip - GCAS members only - investigates the C-Bar Ranch area off of Highway 90. Meet at the car park just off of Hwy 90 in Tyrone in front of the US Post Office BEFORE 10:00 AM (this jumping-off spot is about 15-20 minutes’ drive from downtown Silver City but be mindful of possible delays due to Hwy 90 construction in downtown Silver City). The group will LEAVE FROM the Tyrone parking area at 10:00 AM sharp. Destinations: a shelter cave and beyond to a pictograph location. Leader Kyle Meredith explains that: “most vehicles should be able to drive to the site, although C-Bar Road is rough in spots. We encourage carpooling from the parking area in Tyrone to the site! From where our group will park on C-Bar Road it is a short walk to the shelter cave where we will see bedrock mortars and smoky ceilings. The hike to the pictographs is about one mile over some rough terrain and some easy trails. To see the pictographs it is necessary to do a little scrambling over rocks and boulders. Perhaps it’s not the season for rattlesnakes, but be aware that I have seen one on two different occasions.”

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 [email protected]!

We'll talk more -
