Free archaeology programs offered in March
In celebration of Archaeology Month, Kaibab National Forest officials will offer free programs throughout March. Everyone is invited and all events are free.
Lectures will be conducted at 6:30 p.m. each Thursday in March at the Williams Ranger District, 742 S. Clover Rd.
The first begins March 4 and will feature South Kaibab Zone Archaeologist Neil Weintrab. He will present the 25th Anniversary of Grinnell College's Excavations at Lizard Man Village.
On March 11, Assistant Forest Archaeologist Michael Lyndon will speak about the history of Hull Cabin (the oldest surviving cabin on the Grand Canyon's South Rim) and the Kaibab's efforts to make it available to the public under the Arizona Cabin Rental Program.
March 18, Forest Heritage Program Manager Margaret Hangan and Neil Weintraub will discuss how the Kaibab Heritage team worked with fire specialists to protect sites during the 2009 wildfire season.
March 25, South Kaibab Assistant Zone Archaeologist Erin Woodard will present on 20 years of volunteering on the Kaibab: The History of the Kaibab's Passport in Time Programs.
Every Saturday at 2 p.m. throughout March, Kaibab archaeologists will lead interpretive hikes to the Keyhole Sink Petroglyph site starting at the Oak Hill Snow Play area a few miles west of Parks on Route 66. With the heavy snow pack it is likely that a spectacular waterfall will be rushing a few feet from the petroglyphs. Come prepared for wet weather. The hike is about 3/4 mile each way.
For more information, call (928) 635-5600.
