Workshop Introduction
When:
September 19 to 21, 2007
Where:
University of New Mexico
Student Union Building

The National Park Service's Petroglyph National Monument, which protects, preserves, and interprets one of the largest concentrations of petroglyphs in the world, is the primary organizer of this event along with its partners the University of New Mexico and the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH).
  • The Binational Workshop will bring together scholars, partners, and the general public in a forum to exchange ideas about cultural resources management issues regarding the protection and preservation of petroglyphs in the Greater Southwest and Northern Mexico.
  • The proposed workshop will serve to address topics related to future exchanges of ideas about resource management, conservation and ethnographic techniques, as well as protection, interpretation and educational approaches.
  • The workshop papers will share cultural resource management information across the U.S.-Mexico border. In addition to providing opportunities for communication with traditional communities and scholars in both the U.S. and Mexico, the workshop will establish and/or reassert relationships with other research and educational entities.
