WELCOME TO ANASAZI
STATE PARK MUSEUM
Explore an Ancestral Puebloan
(Anasazi) village that was likely
occupied from A.D. 1050 to 1200,
and one of the largest communities
west of the Colorado River.
Outside the museum, tour a
life-sized, six-room replica of an
ancient dwelling and view a portion
of the original site. Inside, view
artifacts excavated from this
site and learn the lifeways
of these people.
DISCOVER
The Coombs Site is unique in
comparison to many other
Ancestral Puebloan
sites in the southwest.
It is located near what is considered
to be the border of the
Ancestral Puebloan and
Fremont cultures.
The Fremont were a prehistoric
group that occupied most of
Utah during the same period as
the Ancestral Puebloans.
The result is a blending of traits
or a prehistoric “melting pot”
that is reflected in the artifacts
recovered from this site, as well
as in the architecture.
In addition, elements from other
branches of the Ancestral Puebloan
have been identified here,
suggesting the presence ofan
extensive trade network.
Opened to the public as a state park in 1970.
Park Elevation: 6,700 feet
Who were the Anasazi?
Anasazi is a Navajo word interpreted
to mean ancient enemies or
enemy ancestors, but is now
referred to as the ancient ones.
Pueblo Indians, who also inhabited
the area have various names for
their ancestors.
The Hopi prefer the word,
Hisatsinom, for their ancestors
and strongly object to the term “Anasazi”.
The Hopi prefer not to call anyone enemy.
What the Anasazi called themselves
will probably never be known.
More recently, the term Ancestral Pueblo
is used, which suggests common
ties with modern Pueblos.
Although Ancestral Pueblo is probably
more accurate and
becoming more preferred.
The term Anasazi has been used
for many decades, and is still generally
accepted. It refers to village dwelling
farmers who existed on the
Colorado Plateau between
A.D. 1 and 1300.
Most of the sites were left after A.D. 1300,
but a few continued to flourish,
Hopi, Zuni, and Acoma to the west,
and eastern Pueblo villages
along the Rio Grande River.
Ancestral Puebloans were likely
the descendants of an Archaic Desert
culture known as the Basket maker cultures.
Some archaeologists claim they
may have migrated from Mesoamerica.
They eventually cultivated crops,
and the primary products were corn,
beans, squash, and cotton.
They domesticated the turkey, and
continued to gather wild plant foods
and hunt game in order
to supplement their diet.
The Ancestral Puebloans are known
for their extraordinary building techniques.
From pit houses to multi-storied
cliff dwellings, these structures remain
as a tribute to their outstanding
architectural abilities.
The Ancestral Puebloans were also
highly skilled potters.
Beautifully decorated pots, bowls,
ladles, mugs, and other elaborate
ceramic objects have been found
in sites throughout the region.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Petrified Forest National Park is an American national park in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona. Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the fee area of the park covers about 230 square miles (600 square kilometers), encompassing semi-desert shrub steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands. The park's headquarters is about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, the Puerco River, and historic U.S. Route 66, all crossing the park roughly east–west. The site, the northern part of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. The park received 627,757 recreational visitors in 2017. Typical visitor activities include sightseeing, photography, hiking, and backpacking.
Averaging about 5,400 feet (1,600 m) in elevation, the park has a dry windy climate with temperatures that vary from summer highs of about 100 °F (38 °C) to winter lows well below freezing. More than 400 species of plants, dominated by grasses such as bunchgrass, blue grama, and sacaton, are found in the park. Fauna include larger animals such as pronghorns, coyotes, and bobcats, many smaller animals, such as deer mice, snakes, lizards, seven kinds of amphibians, and more than 200 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents and many of which are migratory. About one third of the park is designated wilderness—50,260 acres (79 sq mi; 203 km2).The Petrified Forest is known for its fossils, especially fallen trees that lived in the Late Triassic Period, about 225 million years ago. The sediments containing the fossil logs are part of the widespread and colorful Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name. Beginning about 60 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau, of which the park is part, was pushed upward by tectonic forces and exposed to increased erosion. All of the park's rock layers above the Chinle, except geologically recent ones found in parts of the park, have been removed by wind and water. In addition to petrified logs, fossils found in the park have included Late Triassic ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and many other plants as well as fauna including giant reptiles called phytosaurs, large amphibians, and early dinosaurs. Paleontologists have been unearthing and studying the park's fossils since the early 20th century.
The park's earliest human inhabitants arrived at least 8,000 years ago. By about 2,000 years ago, they were growing corn in the area and shortly thereafter building pit houses in what would become the park. Later inhabitants built above-ground dwellings called pueblos. Although a changing climate caused the last of the park's pueblos to be abandoned by about 1400 CE, more than 600 archeological sites, including petroglyphs, have been discovered in the park. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers visited the area, and by the mid-19th century a U.S. team had surveyed an east–west route through the area where the park is now located and noted the petrified wood. Later, roads and a railway followed similar routes and gave rise to tourism and, before the park was protected, to large-scale removal of fossils. Theft of petrified wood remains a problem in the 21st century.
Discovering Dinosaurs on Public Lands
In 2010 eight new dinosaurs were described from public lands in the state of Utah. Worldwide there are fewer than 800 known species of dinosaur, which means that the single year tally in Utah equals 1% of all known dinosaur species. Bureau of Land Management Regional Paleontologist Scott E. Foss, Ph.D. explores why there is currently a renaissance in the field of paleontology and what new fossil discoveries are on the horizon.
Sander Prize Ceremony 2018: Dr. Henry Jarecki / Educational Policy & Academic Freedom
Deutsches Haus at NYU presents a moderated panel discussion on Educational Policy and Academic Freedom among Dr. Moaath Alrajab, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Systems at the State University of New York Farmingdale and an alumnus of the Scholar Rescue Fund of the Institute of International Education; Dr. Mariët Westermann, Executive Vice President of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; Dr. George Rupp, Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Columbia's Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Affairs, and former President of Columbia University; and Dr. Steven Sokol, President of the American Council on Germany.
The discussion was followed by the Volkmar and Margret Sander Prize Ceremony 2018. Deutsches Haus at NYU proudly awarded the sixth annual Volkmar and Margret Sander Prize to Dr. Henry Jarecki, the German American academic, psychiatrist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
November 12, 2018
Around the world, scholars have long been persecuted, detained, tortured, and harassed. In this panel we will examine why academic freedom matters to everyone (not just academics), why it is an essential element of functioning democracies worldwide, and why it is crucial to protect the voices and ideas of scholars from around the globe.
This discussion is part of The State(s) We're In: A New Age of Transatlantic Relations, a series of six talks presented by Deutsches Haus at NYU that addresses an array of important topics that are currently intensely debated in both Germany and the United States, and are of political and sociopolitical relevance in both countries: threats to democracy; economic inequality and populism; migration and art; civil society and political engagement; climate change and activism; and educational policy and academic freedom.
Dr. Jarecki was born in Stettin, Germany, and received his medical degree from the University of Heidelberg in 1957. He has written extensively about both financial markets and medicine. His eleemosynary activities include being a Governor of the Community College of the British Virgin Islands, a founder of the Youth Empowerment Project of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and a Director of the Harlem School of the Arts. In 2000, Dr. Jarecki joined the Board of Trustees of the Institute of International Education (IIE). He was pivotal in helping to launch IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund, that helps threatened scholars continue productive academic work. He recently launched a program to enable German universities to host such scholars, in association with the Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg. In 2016, the Federal Republic of Germany awarded him the Order of Merit, Officer’s Cross for his work to improve relations between Germany and the U.S. Henry G. Jarecki is Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Falconwood Corporation, an investment banking company managing investments in numerous businesses. A Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology since 1963, Dr. Jarecki is licensed to practice medicine and surgery in Connecticut, New York and the British Virgin Islands. He is currently Professor of Psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine.
The Volkmar and Margret Sander Prize was established by Professor Margret Sander in memory of her late husband, Professor Volkmar Sander, former head of the German Department of NYU and founder and first director of Deutsches Haus at NYU, who passed away in 2011. The prize -- which was awarded for the first time in 2013 to the late Professor Fritz Stern and, in the following year, to Dr. Gary Smith, then the executive director of the American Academy in Berlin; to Dr. Lya Friedrich Pfeifer, the President of the Max Kade Foundation, Inc., in 2015; to Dr. Claus Leggewie in 2016; and to Karsten Voigt in 2017 -- is awarded annually and is endowed with a $5000 grant, kindly donated by Margret Sander, and honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the cultural, political, and academic relationship between the German-speaking world and the United States.
The State(s) We're In: A New Age of Transatlantic Relations. Educational Policy and Academic Freedom is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany with funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economy and Energy (BMWi).
