The field school has begun!

The majority of students arrived on Sunday, ready for the first day of lessons, on Monday.

Monday, after an introductory lecture by Dr. Carolyn Boyd, the group headed to see the first of, what will become, many of the spectacular rock art sites in the Lower Pecos River area.

First was White Shaman Shelter. Here Dr. Boyd presented her ground-breaking interpretations of this beautiful imagery and demonstrated how the field-recording techniques the students are learning can be turned into well-researched results. Then on to Painted Shelter, a site with incredible Red-Monochrome paintings.

Field work was followed by a lecture, An Introduction to Lower Pecos River Archeology, by Elton Prewitt.

Tuesday the group headed for the Devils River and the start of field-recording activities.
