Rock Art Researchers to Gather in Del Rio, Texas, March 26 - 29
Friday, January 15, 2010
Phoenix, AZ—Del Rio, Texas will be the setting for the 37th annual conference of the American Rock Art Research Association (ARARA), to convene March 26th – 29th, 2010. Del Rio is located on the Texas/Mexico border, and is the portal to the Lower Pecos River style of rock art. A diverse program is planned, exploring the many facets of rock art – the study of prehistoric Native American markings found on stone in natural landscape settings. Presentations on the rock art of Southern Texas and beyond, plus a special symposium devoted to discussion of the Red Linear pictograph style will form the heart of the conference. SHUMLA , an international center for archeological research and education, will conduct the exciting field trips offered. A workshop on the D-stretch recording technique, committee meetings focused on education, archives, conservation and publication, a fundraising auction and the ever popular vendor room that features rock art-related wares and publications for sale are all planned. The pre-registration deadline is February 25th. ARARA is a diverse community of members dedicated to the preservation, research and communication of the significance of rock art, which is a non-renewable resource of enduring cultural value, and an important expression of shared human cultural heritage.
