At Agua Fria National Monument, ASU has been running a program entitled Legacies on the Landscape and it has ASU archaeologists, graduate students, and overly ambitious undergraduates taking care of, documenting, mapping, surveying, and studying the multiple pueblo ruins that dot the Perry Mesa landscape. Various pottery types of sherds litter the ground randomly among the debris of room blocks. The pueblos have been looted repeatedly across the years. Recent surveys from spring 2007 showed a number of possible sites that had not been mapped and recorded for the Archaeology Site Files and Collections. This week is also Spring 2008 spring break. I volunteered to go into the field Monday and today to record, map, and survey various sites throughout the Agua Fria National Monument at various pueblos. We were supposed to be staying at a ranch, but it was unavailable. Two grad student archaeologists, two bioarchaeologists, and myself, the paleoanthropologist stayed the night at an artists commune somewhere near Prescott, AZ. Instead of staying all three days, we finished early and came home today. It was definitely a nice break from school and papers. I spent two days hiking around Perry Mesa getting cactus needles stuck in my legs and feet. My muscles are sore and my feet hate me and I spent the better part of my evening plucking needles from my ankles with a tweezer, but it was fucking awesome....
