He’ll share discoveries made while leading survey groups of numerous archaeology sites over the course of several years. He’s a Governor’s Award in Public Archaeology award recipient, contributor to Archaeology Southwest, a former president of the Verde Valley Archaeology Society and popular speaker.

    Then in her presentation, “The Art of Rock Art” award-winning Sedona photographer Susie Reed will show some of her remarkable images and talk about rock art from an artist’s perspective. She’ll discuss how it was made, it’s purposes in ancient and modern times and how she brings pictographs and petroglyphs back to life in her fascinating, beautiful photos. She’ll also show a preview of what people will see during the rare guided tour to Honanki Heritage Site on March 19th.

    Susie Reed is considered an eminent photographer of Southwestern rock art. She’s also a conservation and preservationist who educates people about the value of archaeology sites by sharing her photos, speaking and leading tours. She has a deep affinity for rock art, which she’s been passionate about since 1995.

The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them.
