    Sedona Internatonal Film FestivalSedona News – Join Northern Arizona University Professor and Chair of Anthropology Dr. Kelley Hays-Gilpin on Sunday, March 20 at 1 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre in Sedona. Come enjoy a special presentation entitled “A Colorful Century of Women in Southwestern Archaeology” — in celebration of Women’s History Month and Archaeology Month.

    This program is presented by the Verde Valley Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society. Tickets are $15 to benefit the VVCAAS Scholarship Program.

    “A Colorful Century of Women in Southwestern Archaeology” will focus on Ann Axtell Morris.

    One hundred years ago, Ann Axtell graduated from Smith College and set sail for France to take field training in archaeology. When she returned home to the American West, she married Earl Halstead Morris, today acknowledged as the inspiration for Indiana Jones. The pair completed many exciting excavations in the Southwest and Mesoamerica, but Ann Axtell Morris’s contributions have not yet received their due. Now that a movie, “Canyon of Death” about Ann’s adventures in Canyon de Chelly is about to be released, it’s time to tell her story together with those of other 20th century women archaeologists  in the Southwest. We’ll explore the history of women in archaeology and the recent development of feminist archaeology.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
