Archeology in the Panhandle

The Panhandle Archeological Society met on April 21st and May 19th for their last two meetings before the summer break.  The April speaker was Dr. John Montgomery, Professor of Anthropology and the Assistant Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Eastern New Mexico University.  His program was titled "Prehistoric Archaeology along the Black River, Southeastern New Mexico.  The March speaker was Dr. Jean Stuntz, Associate Professor of History at West Texas A&M University.  Her program was titled "Panhandle Pioneers - The Rest of the Story."

The PAS was well represented at the 46th Annual Southwestern Federation of Archeological Societies in Hobbs, NM; April 9-11 where the guest speaker was Dr. Michael Collins.

The 32nd Annual Flint Hills Conference was held March 18th - 20th in Perryton, Texas hosted by Courson Archaeological Research (CAR).  Over one hundred participants attended from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Colorado and Texas.

Courson Archaeological Research (CAR) hosted the 2010 Courson Archaeological Research Field School from May 24th thru June 4th.  At the present, I have not been able to contact Scott Brosowske to report on the activity at Perryton.

I conducted an archeological day for the 4th grade in Borger on May 12th.  There were approximated 200 4th graders who were able to see the Gault video, experience corn grinding, atlatl throwing, rock art activity and see various archeological tools.  It was a great success.

Respectfully submitted,

Diedre Hood
