Join
the San Luis Valley
Archaeological Network
 Test excavations at Fremont "Christmas" site |
You don't have to be a professional archaeologist to be a member of the San Luis Valley Archaeological Network-- Just someone with an interest in learning about our area's past. The San Luis Valley Archaeogical Network has members who started out with no more than curiosity. |
Whether your interest is in historic archaeology or PaleoIndian archaeology
or somewhere in between, you can become involved in various research projects
in the San Luis Valley. Our members have worked beside Smithsonian
archaeologists at the Black Mountain
Folsom site, located some 25 miles southwest of Creede, CO, and at
the Stewart's Cattle Guard site, near the Great
Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.
|
In the Network, you'll learn field techniques and methods of archaeology from professionals and experienced avocationals. You can discover the prehistoric inhabitants of the San Luis Valley and what they left behind: rock art, campsites and villages, projectile points and stone tools. You can retrace the path of the Old Spanish Trail, a trail system connecting Santa Fe, NM, with Los Angeles, CA. |

For those interested in further training, the Network hosts PAAC
(Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification) training
program, twice a year.
As a member, you will receive the San
Luis Valley Archaeo-Update, a bi-monthly newsletter, which
will keep you updated on tours, research projects and other Network activities.
