Languages English. Sponsor Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant, 2007-2008 Historical Note Reverend Harold Baxter Liebler established St. Christopher's Mission as part of the Episcopal Diocese of Utah in 1943 near Bluff, Utah. The mission bordered the Navajo Indian Reservation and it mainly served the Navajo people. Father Liebler officially retired in 1962, but he was active with the mission until his death in 1982. After 1962 Liebler moved to the Monument Valley area of Arizona and established the Hat Rock Valley Retreat Center and St. Mary's of the Moonlight Chapel. Liebler was known throughout the Southwest for his dedication to the Navajo people and to his missionary work. Brother Juniper (Charles Hillyer Armour Ford) came to St. Christopher's in October, 1943. He was born in Milwaukee in 1903 and he spent his youth and young adulthood in Wisconsin before joining the American Congregation of Franciscans around 1933. He then moved to Little Portion, Mt. Sinai, New Father Harold Baxter Liebler and Brother Juniper 1 photograph collection,, 1943-1982 http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv40399 York.

  • Cliff Palace Teacher Resource
    Teacher Resource Set Title Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park Developed by Laura Douglas, Education ala Carte Grade Level 3 – 4 Essential Questions How can primary sources help us learn about the past and how the people lived at Cliff Palace in what is now Mesa Verde National Park? What natural resources were used by the Ancestral Puebloan people that lived at Cliff Palace? How did the natural environment effect the way in which Ancestral Puebloan built their shelters? Why did the Ancestral Puebloan people migrate from Cliff Palace? Contextual Paragraph Mesa Verde National Park is located in Montezuma County, Colorado in the southwestern corner of the state. As of its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 it had more than 800 archaeological sites recorded or in the process of inventory. Today there are nearly 5,000 documented sites including about 600 cliff dwellings. Mesa Verde, which means, “green table” was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloans, a branch of the San Juan Anasazi Indians, from about 580 CE to 1300 CE. Today it is the most extensive and well-developed example of prehistoric cliff dwellings. For in depth information about Mesa Verde National Park visit the Colorado Encyclopedia at: https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/mesa-verde-national-park. Archaeologists have identified distinct periods during Mesa Verde’s habitation based on artifacts and ruins discovered there. The Cliff Palace was constructed during the Pueblo III period. According to dendrochronology (tree-ring dating), Cliff Palace construction and refurbishment happened from 1190 CE – 1260 CE, although most was done during a 20- year span.

  • Cliff Palace Mesa Verde National Park
    CLIFF PALACE MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK oday only swifts and swallows and insects inhabit the airy Talcove that protects Cliff Palace. But 800 years ago the dwelling was bustling with human activity. In this stunning community deep in the heart of Mesa Verde, Ancestral Pueblo people carried on the routine of their daily lives. This was also an important location within their world. Archeological research in the late 1990s reveals that Cliff Palace is different from most other sites at Mesa Verde, both in how it was built and in how it was used. A ranger-led walk down into Cliff Palace provides a closer look at the layout and con- struction of the building, and gives tantalizing hints at what makes this site unique. The one hour guided walk requires a ticket. You will descend uneven stone steps and climb four ladders for a 100 foot vertical climb. Total distance is about ¼ mile round trip (.4 km). The crown jewel of Mesa Verde National Park and an architectural masterpiece by any standard, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. From the rimtop overlooks, the collection of rooms, plazas, and towers fits perfectly into the sweeping sandstone overhang that has largely protected it, unpeopled and silent, since the thirteenth century. It’s impossible to be certain why Ancestral Pueblo people decided to move into the cliff-side alcoves about AD 1200 and build elaborate and expensive struc- tures like Cliff Palace. However, the sciences of archeology, ethnography, dendrochronology and a host of other disciplines offer us insights into this era in our region’s history.

  • Lipid Residues Preserved in Sheltered Bedrock Features at Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, New Mexico Tammy Buonasera
    Lipid residues preserved in sheltered bedrock features at Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, New Mexico Tammy Buonasera School of Anthropology, University of Arizona, Tucson, U.S.A. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Bedrock features represent various economic, social, and symbolic aspects of past societies, but have historically received little study, particularly in North America. Fortunately, new techniques for analyzing spatial configurations, use-wear, and organic residues are beginning to unlock more of the interpretive potential of these features. Though preliminary in nature, the present study contributes to this trend by documenting an application of lipid analysis to bedrock features in a dry rockshelter. Results of this initial application indicate that bedrock features in dry rockshelters may provide especially favorable conditions for the preservation and interpretation of ancient organic residues. Abundant lipids, comparable to concentrations present in some pottery sherds, were extracted from a bedrock grinding surface at Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Though the lipids were highly oxidized, degradation products indicative of former unsaturated fatty acids were retained. Comparisons to experimentally aged residues, and absence of a known biomarker for maize, indicate that the bulk of the lipids preserved in the milling surface probably derive from processing an oily nut or seed resource, and not from processing maize. Substantially lower amounts of lipids were recovered from a small, blackened cupule. It is hypothesized that some portion of the lipids in the blackened cupule was deposited from condensed smoke of cooking and heating fires in the caves. Potential for the preservation of organic residues in similar sheltered bedrock contexts is discussed, and a practical method for sampling bedrock features in the field is described.

  • Ethnoarchaeological Survey of Cave Dwelling in the Qoḥayto Plateau of Eritrea
    Ethnoarchaeological Survey of Cave Dwelling in the Qoḥayto Plateau of Eritrea Robel Haile Department of Anthropology and Archaeology Adi Keih College of Arts and Social Sciences (Eritrea) [email protected] or [email protected] SOMMARIO Gli studi speleologici presentano un considerevole potenziale per la comprensione dei processi di sviluppo culturale sull’Altopiano del Qoḥayto1, e per lo studio dei pattern di mobilità e dei sistemi residenziali dei gruppi pastorali. Questo contributo è basato su un survey archeologico e l’osservazione etnografica dell’organizzazione dello spazio domestico in grotte dell’Altopiano del Qoḥayto, ponendo in particolare evidenza: a) l’opposizione tra lo spazio umano e quello destinato agli animali, e b) le variazioni all’interno di questi due domini. I risultati mostrano l’esistenza di due tipi di organizzazione di questi spazi: l’una con la zona del goḥo-makādo separata da quella per gli animali, l’altra con la zona del balbala separata dalla seconda. Keywords: Rock Shelters, Caves, Ethnoarchaeology, Qoḥayto Plateau, Eritrea DOI: 10.23814/ethn.13.17.hai 1. Introduction Human occupation of caves provides valuable ethnographic and archaeological information about the occupants (Kempe 1988). The spatial layout of the domestic space and the material remains within it, such as hearth, bones, ashes, ceramics and lithics, supply archaeologists and anthropologists a broad range of information. Advantages of cave sites go beyond their being mere suppliers of abundant and diverse data. They are easy to locate compared to open-air sites (Moyes 2012), and “serve as fairly permanent postdepositional containers for material residues” (Strauss 1979: 333). Given these fundamental advantages, cave studies, particularly their utility pattern, dates back to the early days of archaeology, forming the back-bone of Paleolithic Studies in Europe.

  • Mesa Verde U.S
    National Park Service Mesa Verde U.S. Department of the Interior Mesa Verde National Park Mesa Verde National Park Timeline 1765 Don Juan Maria de Rivera, under orders from New Mexico governor Tomas Velez Cachupin, led what was possibly the first expedition of white men northwest from New Mexico. Rivera’s men saw ancient “ruins,” but made no identifiable reference to Mesa Verde in their journals. 1859 By 1859, several groups had entered the region, exploring both the north and south sides of Mesa Verde. The first European known to climb onto the mesa, was geologist Dr. John S. Newberry, a member of the 1859 San Juan Exploring Expedition. Although he didn’t record finding any archeological sites, the expedition was the first to officially use the name Mesa Verde. The manner in which it was identified, suggests the name was already in common usage. 1874 Pioneer photographer William Henry Jackson was photographing in the mountains northeast of Mesa Verde in August. There he met an old friend who introduced him to John Moss, a miner who had spent several years ranching and exploring near Mesa Verde. Moss offered to guide him to the ancient sites he and his men had found. With Moss leading the way into Mancos Canyon, Jackson entered Two Story House, and took the first photographs of a cliff dwelling in the Mesa Verde region. The photographs taken by Jackson that September helped call attention to the area. 1875 The second cliff dwelling in the Mesa Verde area to be named was Sixteen Window House. William H.
