    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.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
