  • El Correo Del Restaurador
    CONSERVACIÓN DE UNA COLECCIÓN DE MATERIAL CERÁMICO EXTRAÍDA DE LAS AGUAS DE LA DIOSA IXCHEL Luz de Lourdes Herbert En 1987, Jeffrey Bozanic, investigador del Island Caves Reserch Center (ICRC), en una de sus expediciones localizó material arqueológico en el interior de "El Cenote", en breve dio parte a la arqueóloga Pilar Luna, jefe del Departamento de Arqueología Subacuática del INAH, quien procedió al rescate de las piezas. La colección después de una serie de vicisitudes, en 1991 es llevada a los talleres de restauración del centro Churubusco para ser tratada y lograr su conservación. Es de vital importancia hacer énfasis en que la colección en cuestión presenta características especiales. El acervo cultural de piezas prehispánicas recuperadas de un medio marino no es muy grande y por ello adquiere un valor excepcional. El hallazgo del material cerámico fue en el sitio conocido como "El Cenote" o "The Well", ubicado en el sistema cavernario sumergido denominado "La Quebrada", cuya entrada principal se localiza en el Parque de Chankanaab, de la Isla de Cozumel. Como es del conocimiento de todos, el sistema hidrológico de la isla presenta características muy particulares, debido a la conformación geológica y topográfica de ésta, ya que está constituida por roca caliza muy permeable; por esta razón la circulación de agua se efectúa mediante una extensa red de drenaje subterráneo. Existen además varios cenotes, que son pozos circulares formados por el hundimiento de los techos de grutas, que dejan al descubierto las aguas subterráneas. Es por demás interesante mencionar características histórico culturales, que permitan contextualizar a la colección y de la trascendencia del rescate.

  • Anna B's Owner, a Short Story by Judith Mercado
    Home Anna B's Owner Winter/Spring by Judith Mercado 2011 “I hear your brother’s living on a boat in the Florida Keys.” Autumn/Winter 2011 I stared at this childhood friend, in town for a short visit, who had no idea what he had just done. Finally, I heard myself say, “Really? Where in the Florida Keys?” Summer 2010 “I don't know where exactly.” He squinted. “It's not Key West or I think I'd Spring 2010 remember. Not Key Largo either . .” Winter 2010 Please don’t remember, Bob. Autumn 2009 I worked at keeping my face placid. If Bob thought my interest was trivial, he might not try so hard to remember, and there was still hope for my ordered life. Summer 2009 Spring 2009 “Marathon,” he said finally. “That's it. That’s where he is.” Autumn 2008 I smiled stiffly. Marathon. A tangible destination that made my brother come alive again. Summer 2008 It had been six years since I heard one of those bits and pieces about my Spring/Summer peripatetic brother Dan that occasionally came my way. Like how he went out to 2008 New Mexico and ran a trailer park outside Chimayó for a while. Another time, someone said he was tending a gas station in Amarillo. No one ever talked about Winter/Spring his photography, whose artistry had once been so promising. No one mentioned 2008 anything about promise at all. Editor's Note I didn’t ask about it now. I had caught my second wind and regained some of the serenity I spent twenty-one years cultivating.

Copyright, 1936 by J. W. SAYRE rot &?+ *$$&&*? *• I^JJMJWW' 1 - *- \£*- ; * M: . * *>. f* j*^* */ ^ *** - • CHIEF SEATTLE Leader of his people both in peace and war, always a friend to the whites; as an orator, the Daniel Webster of his race. Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.

  • Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan
    Boats Built at Toledo, Ohio Including Monroe, Michigan A Comprehensive Listing of the Vessels Built from Schooners to Steamers from 1810 to the Present Written and Compiled by: Matthew J. Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.
