Congratulate Our 2024 Summer Interns!
07/13/2024
The GCAS is happy to congratulate our two 2024 summer interns, Trinton Palomarez (first-year intern) and Gloria White (second-year intern), who headquarter at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site as they train in educational and scientific activities under the supervision of the GCAS's own Marilyn Markel. This is the second year the GCAS has supported each of two high school level students with a summer internship including $250 stipends.
The photos you see here were all taken by Marilyn Markel of Trinton, Gloria, and MCHS/GCAS volunteers in action on June 27, 2024. 
This was the third and last day the interns and volunteers ran an experiential archaeological workshop with the Silver City Water Keeper's Kids Camp. The summer campers engaged in hands-on activities like processing yucca, making clay pots, and flagging and sketching artifacts. Second-year intern Gloria White (seen here in the photo on the right) has already gained the necessary experience to lead public tours of the Mattocks archaeological site, co-located at the Mimbres Culture Heritage Site. Both Trinton and Gloria will assist with children's activities at the upcoming Hummingbird Festival on July 27 and 28, so please look for them at the Heritage Site and congratulate them on a summer well done!
