December 31, 2016    Letter from the President    Since 1980, The Archaeological Conservancy has acquired more than 500 endangered archaeological sites across the country. 2016 was a great year for the Conservancy, as we continued our mission to preserve significant sites across the United States.  

This year, the Conservancy continued our commitment to educating the public about the importance of archaeological sites. The preserves we protect are available to the public for guided tours, to descendants of the American Indians who once inhabited the sites, and to archaeologists and other qualified researchers for study. In addition to this, we host lectures around the country for our members and the general public.  

Major funding for the Conservancy comes from our members, as well as from corporations, foundations, and special individual contributions. Income from our permanent Endowment Fund supplements regular fundraising. Often we raise money locally to purchase sites in a particular community. In emergency situations, we borrow from our revolving Preservation Fund.  

The Conservancy’s quarterly magazine, American Archaeology, is the only popular magazine devoted to presenting the rich diversity of archaeology in the Americas. The magazine helps readers appreciate and understand the archaeological wonders available to them, and to raise awareness of the destruction of our cultural heritage. The ancient people of North America left virtually no written records of their cultures. Clues that might someday solve the mysteries of prehistoric America are still missing, and when a ruin is destroyed by looters, or leveled for a shopping center, precious information is lost. By permanently preserving endangered ruins, we are ensuring they will be here for future generations to study and enjoy.  

We look forward to making 2017 our best yet.  

Sincerely,  

 

 

Mark Michel  President

2016 ACQUISITIONS Since its beginning in 1980, the Conservancy has acquired more than 500 endangered sites in 46 states across America. These preserves range in size from less than an acre to more than 1,500 acres. They include the earliest habitation sites in North America, a 19th-century frontier army post, and nearly every major cultural period in between. In 2016, the Conservancy rescued the following endangered sites:  

Legend Rock (Wyoming) The Legend Rock site is an approximately 1,600-yard-long cliff that contains more than 330 prehistoric petroglyph panels and over 900 petroglyphs. Due to the age and diversity of the rock art, it is one of Wyoming’s most important archaeological sites. Back in the early 1970s, landowners Ramul and Eddie Dvarishkis transferred the central portion of the site to the State of Wyoming to preserve it. The site became a state park called the Legend Rock Petroglyph Site, and in 1973 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Three distinct concentrations of rock art, which include a wide range of artistic traditions spanning several time periods, were identified at the site. There is a bison processing area in one section of the site indicating that, in addition to being a place of shamanistic power and symbology, it was, unlike many other rock art sites throughout the Great Plains, also used as a habitation site.   Kipp Ruin (New Mexico) The Conservancy was gifted an 80-acre parcel containing the Kipp Ruin, a multi-component prehistoric community located on the floodplain of the Mimbres River, in Southwest New Mexico. The site was first recorded by archaeologists in the early 1900s.   Kipp is located at the eastern edge of the Mimbres region,

the northern edge of the Casas Grandes region, and the western edge of the Jornada Mogollon region, and the site has a post A.D. 1200 component that appears to

have evidence of all three cultures, including Salado polychrome pottery. The Kipp Ruin contains evidence of several Southwest cultures. Kipp also has pithouse structures that appear to date from 100 B.C to A.D. 1000. The site’s long occupation span may help archaeologists better understand the development and interaction of these three

Southwestern cultures.     William Walker of New Mexico State University conducted field schools at Kipp beginning in 2006. Most of the site’s cultural deposits have been buried under mud and silt deposited by Mimbres River flooding through the years. Walker believes the thick layer of mud and silt has preserved major portions of the Kipp Ruin and that a majority of its structures and features may still be intact. The site was donated to the Conservancy by Rexann Kipp Leary, who inherited the property from her father, Rex Kipp, a prominent New Mexico rancher.  Holmes Group (New Mexico) The Conservancy has purchased the Holmes Group, a very significant Chacoan community situated on a Pleistocene terrace above the La Plata River northwest of Farmington, New Mexico. The site was first recorded by

William Holmes in 1875 – hence the name the Holmes Group – and again by Deric Nusbaum in 1935. In 1984, archaeologists Richard Watson and Margaret Powers identified and mapped 127 surface features at the site. Rubble mounds are all that

remain of a series of structures and features built from dressed sandstone and river cobbles that include two great houses, two great kivas, and two cobble masonry structures. Chacoan great houses are two or more stories high and made of finely trimmed and fitted stone with unusually large, often over-built rooms. Great kivas are 30 feet or more in diameter. Chacoan style pottery is abundant across the site. The Holmes Group is considered one of the largest and most complex of all the Chaco-period occupation sites. Despite some looting, the features Holmes and Nusbaum recordered are still easily identifiable, and the research potential is enormous.   Woodhaven (Washington)     In June of 2013, the Conservancy’s Western Regional Director Cory Wilkins and President Mark Michel met in northern Washington with representatives of the

Stillaguamish Tribe to discuss collaborating to preserve the tribe’s ancestral lands. At that time, Stillaguamish Cultural Resources Representative Kerry Lyste provided the Conservancy with a list of several sites that the Tribe was working to preserve. At the top of that list was the Woodhaven site.     Woodhaven is a stunning 8,700-year-old habitation and stone tool-manufacturing site that consists of extensive lithic material and fire modified rock. Analysis of its lithic tools and debitage indicated that these items represent all stages—from raw material to finished product—of tool production.     The site was initially recorded in 2007 by Garth Baldwin and Genevieve Brown of Drayton Archaeological Research during a cultural resource survey of a proposed 35-acre residential development. The archaeologists did 53 shovel tests during the survey, 28 of which recovered cultural material. Nearly 13,000 lithic artifacts were recovered during subsequent excavations in 2008 and 2011, including numerous lanceolate points, large bifaces, cobble reduction flakes, and scrapers. A hearth was unearthed as well as a few fragments of bone and a piece of obsidian.     The Woodhaven acquisition is a prime example of a successful collaboration between the Conservancy and other organizations. In this case, the Conservancy worked with the Stillaguamish Tribe to preserve one of the most important sites in Washington State, while ensuring the site and all cultural material are treated in accordance with the highest standards of the Stillaguamish Tribe.  Virgin River Village (Utah) Three years ago Gaylord Robb brought the Virgin River Village, five-acre prehistoric site located in southwest Utah, to the Conservancy’s attention. At the time, the

Conservancy was in the process of acquiring Paragonah Mounds in southwest Utah. The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah was involved in that acquisition and Mr. Robb, the tribe’s director of economic development, was acting as its representative. Being a

life-long resident of the region, Robb knew of a number of archaeological sites in the area, including this ancient village near the town of Virgin.

The site is perched on a river terrace overlooking a calm stretch of the Virgin River just west of Saint George. During a surface survey, eight complete manos and multiple mano fragments were observed across the site, as well as ceramic sherds and debitage. The sherds appear to be North Creek Gray, a style that dates from A.D. 550 to 1300. The site has numerous sandstone slabs, some of which stand upright and resemble tombstones, and as a result it has been mistaken for a burial ground when in fact it’s a habitation site. This remarkable preserve may give future researchers insight into the lives of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Virgin Anasazi, a group about which archaeologists don’t know much.  McCarty Mound (Illinois)     The American Bottom is located across the Mississippi River from Saint Louis, Missouri, and it’s the largest expanse of floodplain on the river. Though it has a long history of human occupation, it’s been overshadowed by nearby Cahokia Mounds, the largest prehistoric settlement in the United States and a World Heritage Site. The McCarty Mound, the Conservancy’s latest acquisition in the American Bottom, is a first in this area to predate the late prehistoric Mississippian period, the time of Cahokia. A single projectile recovered from the mound dates to the Middle Woodland period, perhaps 1,000 years before the rise of Cahokia and the East Saint Louis Mound Group.     The McCarty Mound is located at the western edge of East St. Louis, Illinois. In the mid-nineteenth century, local dentist and antiquarian J.R. Patrick produced a map showing McCarty to be one of three mounds lying between Cahokia and the nearby East Saint Louis Mound Group. Today the other two mounds have apparently been obliterated, and the top of McCarty was removed, reducing it to a rectangular platform approximately three-feet high.

2016 TOURS For more than 25 years, the Conservancy has conducted tours ranging in length from four days to two weeks. Expert guides always accompany our tours, providing unique insights about the places we visit. Tour regions include the American Midwest, Southeast, Southwest, and East, as well as Mexico and Central and South America.

Maya of Yucatán and Calakmul January 14-24, 2016   From A.D. 300 to 900, a brilliant culture flourished in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico – the Classic Maya. We

visited some of their most splendid sites, including Dzibilchaltún, Balankanche Cave, Mayapán, and Chichén Itzá. We also dove deep into the forest to visit Calakmul, which has been

undergoing significant excavations in recent years. Calakmul is believed to be the largest of all the Maya cities. More than 100 stelae and 6,500 structures have been discovered so far. During the Late Classic period it dominated the entire southern Yucatán. John Henderson, one of the nation’s leading scholars of the Maya, accompanied us on the trip.

Guatemala Highlands and Copán March 10-20, 2016  Rain forests, snow-capped volcanoes, and magnificent lakes make up the landscape of the ancient Maya in the highlands of Guatemala. On our tour we experienced a complete spectrum of history from ancient Maya ruins to modern-day Maya cities. Our travels took up from Guatemala’s beautiful Lake Atitlán to the Honduran rainforest where we visited Copán, considered the crown jewel of the southern Maya cities. John Henderson from Cornell University accompanied us on the tour.

Yampa River May 29 – June 5, 2016   This tour featured an exciting downriver adventure in Colorado and Utah, where we floated through Dinosaur National Monument and experienced incredible scenery first described by explorer John Wesley Powell. On our 70-mile journey down the Yampa and Green Rivers we visited remote archaeological sites, including Fremont culture rock art panels and prehistoric rock shelters.

Highlights of the Northern Plains June 9-14, 2016      Beginning and ending in Bismarck, North Dakota, this new tour explored some of the unique and fascinating historic places of the Northern Plains. We visited Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, which preserved the remains of five historic-period Mandan/Hidatsa villages, including the hometown of Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark’s guide. We also visited a number of prehistoric Native Americans sites including Double Ditch and Huff Indian Village State Historic sites, well-preserved Plains Village Tradition villages, and the Knife River Chert Quarries, one of the largest prehistoric quarry sites in North America. Peru June 17 – July 2, 2016  Machu Picchu remained a secret to the outside world until 1911, when archaeologist Hiram Bingham discovered it almost by accident. Perched on a ridge more than 2,000

feet above the Urubamba River, this ancient city is among the most spectacular sites in all of the Americas. And Machu Picchu is just one of the many highlights of the Conservancy’s two-week Peruvian

tour. From the coastal town of Lima to the magnificent tombs of the Moche at Sipán, we explored some of Peru’s most fascinating sites. Accompanied by John Henderson, an expert in the region’s archaeology, we learned about the vast empires that once reigned in the land. The adventure began with visits to several archaeological museums in Lima, allowing us to become familiar with the country’s past cultures. Then we explored the pyramids at Sipán and Túcume. At Chan Chan, we toured the remains of one of the largest pre-Columbian cities in the New World. Several Days in the Inca capital of Cuzco gave us ample time to explore

sites such as Coricancha, an Inca temple where the walls were once covered in gold. French and Indian War September 10-17, 2016 We traveled across New York and Pennsylvania to explore the rich history and archaeology of the French and Indian War. This epic struggle involving Native Americans, the English and French Empires, and Colonial forces, was one of the first global conflicts and a defining moment in American history. We met with historians, archaeologists, and native people at a variety of archaeological sites, museums, and interpretive centers. Some of the places we visited are Fort Niagara State Historic Site, Fort Ticonderoga, and Ganondagan State Historic Site. We stayed overnight in picturesque Lake George, and stopped at Niagara Falls. Best of the Southwest September 10-20, 2016 The American Southwest is home to some of the best-

preserved evidence of prehistoric civilizations in the New World. The magnificent ruins of Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde are but two vivid reminders of the complex

cultures that dominated the region between the 10th and 14th centuries. The Conservancy’s Best of the Southwest tour included these two settlements as well as other prehistoric sites and modern pueblos where ancient traditions persist.  

Peoples of the Mississippi Valley October 15-22, 2016 Beginning in Memphis and followiing the Mississippi River south to Natchez, our journey covered more than 5,000 years of history, taking participants from ancient earthen mounds to Civil War battlefields. The trip offered an opportunity to learn more about the rich mound-builder cultures that flourished along the Mississippi River valley until the arrival of the Europeans. While taking in the charms of the Old South, we visited many important sites, including Emerald Mound, the third largest Mississippian mound in the United States. We also visited sites from historic times, including the Grand Village of the Natchez and the Civil War battlefield at Vicksburg. Several of the Conservancy’s preserves, such as Watson Brake Mounds, which may be the oldest mound site in North America, were also features on the tour.

Oaxaca October 28 – November 7, 2016 This tour features Oaxaca, Mexico during the Day of the Dead, one of the most unusual festivals anywhere. On this day, people prepare home altars and cemeteries to welcome the dead, who are believed to return to enjoy the food and drink they indulged in during life. Rather than being a morbid occasion, it’s a celebratory one. Our tour explored the Mixtecan and Zapotecan archaeological sites in the region, including Mitla, Monte Albán, San José Mogote, and Dainzú. We explored Oaxaca’s museums and markets as well as several craft villages featuring weaving, pottery, carved animals, and other local art.

2016 RESEARCH All Conservancy preserves are open for research by qualified scholars. Here are some of the research projects that took place on Conservancy preserves in 2016.    Holy Ground Village (Alabama) – The University of South Alabama conducted research on the site assisted by a grant from Howard Weir and the Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Alabama.   Fingerhut Tract – Cahokia (Illinois) – Geophysical survey, especially resistivity mapping, conducted on the preserve and five one-meter by one-meter opened to explore possible structures, two of which were confirmed to be house basins. Investigation conducted by Dr. Mary Vermillion, Saint Louis University. Final report is due Spring 2017.   Carson Mounds (Mississippi) – The Mississippi Department of Archives and History conducted archaeological research at the site in 2016.    San Marcos Pueblo (New Mexico) - Students and faculty with the Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE) group continued their geophysical investigations using ground penetrating radar, seismic refraction, magnetometry, and electromagnetic techniques.  Steel Earthworks (Ohio) – Ongoing high-resolution magnetometry survey carried out by Dr. Jarrod Burks and funded by the Ohio History Connection. Survey has revealed traces of additional earthworks and post circles, making the Steel Earthworks the largest known complex of small earthwork. Squirrel Hill (Pennsylvania) – Ongoing project by Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Geophysical survey with ground-penetrating radar, as well as shovel-test probes and limited shovel-tests. Poster presentation made at Eastern States Archaeological Federation in Fall 2016. Final report due Spring 2017.  Gault Site (Texas) – Since 1998, a major excavation has been underway at Gault, led by Dr. Michael Collins and his team of researchers from the Gault School of Archaeological Research. Since 2008, tours and talks about the site have been presented to over 28,000 people. In 2015, researchers have re-opened some of the old backhoe trenches and a portion of excavation Area 12 to have a fresh look at the geologic sections. The Gault site is a very active project that often attracts professional archaeologists to visit in addition to the numerous tours conducted 3 to 4 times a month.

2016 LECTURES As part of the Conservancy’s public outreach program, we sponsor lectures around the country. This is an excellent opportunity to reach out to our members.  

 March – May 2016 – Ancient Sites and Ancient Stories 2016  

 Working with Southwest Seminars, this popular Santa Fe lecture series was held every Monday for three months and featured nine prominent archaeologists and scholars. April 2016 – Chaco Canyon Lecture Series The Archaeological Conservancy hosted a two-part lecture series about Chaco Canyon in April. The series featured two prominent Chacoan scholars – John Roney and Richard Friedman.   

 

 

 

 

 

   AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY MAGAZINE  The Conservancy’s 23,000 members received our quarterly magazine American Archaeology. Launched in 1997, American Archaeology is the only magazine devoted exclusively to the rich diversity of archaeology in the Americas. By sharing new discoveries, national news, events, and Conservancy successes, the magazine makes learning about ancient America as exciting as it is essential. It can be found in bookstores like Barnes and Noble across the United States. The Conservancy also distributes the magazine at archaeology meetings and other events.
