850-mile archaeology trek
offers learning experience
by Rebeca Zimmermann
Battalion Staff
About 15 Texas A&M stu
dents will leave Tuesday on an
850-mile trip to southwest New
Mexico for a five-week
archaeological excavation.
These students will partici
pate in an archaeological field
school from next Wednesday
through July 6. Dr. Harry J.
Shafer, associate professor of
anthropology and principal in
vestigator for the project, said
the program offers students a
chance to learn how to map
archaeological sites, how to pro
cess and sort archaeological
materials and how to record and
photograph data.
The program is offered as
Anthropology 330, worth six
hours of course credit. The costs
include a $300 field school fee to
help cover food and transporta
tion, a $38 miscellaneous fee
and a tuition charge.
Students interested in partici
pating may do so if they contact
the anthropology department
immediately, Shafer said.
Shafer said the field school
brings in students who are be
ginners in excavation work and
by the end of the course they are
given responsibilities in field
and laboratory work.
“Each student gets direct in
struction from myself and staff
assistants,” Shafer said.
He said about half the partici
pating students are anthropolo
gy majors. The others come
from different majors such as
history, philosophy and
accounting.
Shafer said the site is an ideal
setting for teaching. He said in
terest and excitement is con
tinuous because of new finds.
The field school will be held at
the Y-Bar NAN Ranch near

Faywood, N.M. Shafer said
Charles A. and Margaret Hin
ton, who own the cattle ranch,
are strong supporters of Texas
A&M.
Shafer said the environment
is well-suited to excavation
work. The ranch is one mile
high in mountain foothills. He
said the mornings and evenings
are cool and humidity is very
low.
The field school, which has
been offered for five years, is
part of an ongoing research
program, Shafer said. The
program is supported by outside
funds. Shafer said in past years
the program has received
money from National Geog
raphic, the Renter for Field Re
search, research funding from
Texas A&M and contributions
from the Federation of Aggie
Mothers’ Clubs.
The field school is the site of
dwellings of Pueblo Indians,
who lived there from 1000 to
1150 A.D. Shafer said the re
search project “traces the de
velopment and demise” of their
culture.
He said it is believed the cul
ture of the Pueblos, who were an
agricultural people, was des
troyed by a breakdown of their
irrigation system.
