Native American Pottery Collection Returns To Silver City
(SILVER CITY) -- Thirty years ago, Dr. Cynthia Bettison was a graduate student sifting through the dirt on a ranch outside silver city. Studying archaeology, she was looking for what was left of the Mimbres Native American people.
Today, she is the curator of the museum at Western New Mexico University. She says, even then, she knew she'd be back.
I said to my cohort...I'm gonna come back and fix this place...9 years later, the position opened up and everybody that heard me say that gave me the advertisement. I'd already applied, of course.
The Mimbres were a curious people. They lived from about A.D. 200 until the 1100's. Before they left, they swept the floors clean.
There was still plenty of evidence to be found, though. Mimbres families buried their ancestors close by...with a well-worn bowl placed on the head of the body.
Someone would pass away...and a portion of the floor would be dug up...they would be buried underneath the floor.
The bowls were painted, some in two or three different colors. Dr. Bettison says they're called a polychrome -- she chose one with a rattlesnake neck and head and the body of a turkey for the symbol of the museum. She says the two animals probably represent the intermarriage of clans.
Academic researchers brought back all the material...a lot of material.
The tools and pottery of the collection are so vast that it takes several rooms to store it all. Not all of it is open to the public, so the museum has dedicated a couple of rooms to just store racks and racks of the pottery.
Really what it did, it transformed our little museum that was known for...looted...Mimbres pottery into this incredible academic research museum...there will never be another collection like the NAN Ranch Collection.
That's because the excavation was performed on private property and before New Mexico law prevented moving any Native American remains, even for research.
Bettison says it could take decades to sort through everything here. For now, the material is waiting for a new generation of archaeologists to tell its story.

ISIS invasion captures ancient UNESCO city of Palmyra, Syria - TomoNews
PALMYRA, SYRIA — Islamic State forces have captured the city of Palmyra, Syria, including the two-thousand-year-old ruins that are protected as a UNESCO World heritage site.
Although hundreds of statues and artifacts have already been relocated to safety, ISIS is known for having destroyed ancient relics and monuments when they sacked cities in Iraq.
The chief of antiquities in Syria, Maamoun Abdulkarim is quoted as saying: The fear is for the museum and the large monuments that cannot be moved. This is the entire world's battle. UNESCO is also calling for international support to come to the aid of the people of Palmyra and the ancient ruins.
Palmyra is reportedly the first city in the country to be seized by ISIS from the Syrian military, as National Defense Forces evacuated civilians from the area. Along with the ancient ruins, important military installations are also located in Palmyra, which is situated on a desert highway connecting the capital city of Damascus with the eastern part of the country.

Juana Briones Curator's Talk: Al Camarillo at California Historical Society
On Thursday, February 13, 2014, The California Historical Society hosted a program titled, Curator's Talk with Professor Al Camarillo. He is Guest Curator of the exhibition and Stanford Professor of History. He discussed in detail the story of Juana Briones in nineteenth-century California and her legacy. He was introduced by Anthea Hartig, Executive Director, California Historical Society.
The Exhibition, Juana Briones y su California ~ Pionera, Fundadora, Curandera, will be available from January 26, 2014 -- June 8, 2014 at The California Historical Society, 678 Mission Street, San Francisco. Contact them at 415 357-1848 or visit their website,

In this bilingual exhibition about the life and times of Juana Briones (1802--1889)—pioneer, founder, healer—we experience the transformation of California under three flags: Spain, Mexico, and the United States. We navigate alongside Juana—without a formal education yet dynamic, strategic, and resourceful—through the social, economic, political, and legal upheavals of nineteenth-century California. Through paintings, maps, portraits, legal documents, and artifacts, we realize a vision of Juana Briones as a woman adaptable yet undaunted in her pursuits. More broadly, through her accomplishments—as mother, landowner, business woman, and humanitarian—we glimpse how some women, including those of Mexican and Spanish descent, influenced our state's history on a wide-ranging yet distinctively human scale.
In her time, this remarkable Californian of Spanish and African descent managed a farm and a dairy in Yerba Buena (later San Francisco)—one of the town's earliest residents. She purchased and operated a 4,439-acre ranch in present-day Palo Alto. She adopted Native American orphans and used her skills as a curandera (healer) in the community. She filed for an ecclesiastic separation from her abusive husband—a rarity in her time. She successfully defended her land claims in U.S. courts, becoming one of the state's first women to own property.
No photograph exists of Juana Briones.Yet, from the objects in this exhibition an image begins to form in our minds of this potent, resourceful, and creative woman who convincingly represents the spirit and promise of our state.

Nuulliit archaeology 2015
Nuulliit has been one of the key sites to our understanding of the prehistory of Greenland ever since Erik Holtved’s excavations in the 1940s and Eigil Knuth’s excavations in the 1950s and onwards. The part of the site shown is where Holtved did his most of his excavations and not only produced pioneering Alaskan-style Inuit material (e.g. was is probably the Arctic’s oldest well-preserved gut-skin parkas and toboggan) that was unequalled for many years, but the Nuulliit site was also very important in establishing the basis of our archaeological understanding of the chronology of the prehistory of the eastern Arctic.
The film provides a great view to the landscape in which the site is situated, to the general state of the site (it slowly but steadily eroding into the Sea), and to where the 2015-excavation were done.

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
=======
James Longstreet (January 8, 1821 – January 2, 1904) was one of the foremost Confederate generals of the American Civil War and the principal subordinate to General Robert E. Lee, who called him his Old War Horse. He served under Lee as a corps commander for many of the famous battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater, and briefly with Braxton Bragg in the Army of Tennessee in the Western Theater.
After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Longstreet served in the Mexican–American War. He was wounded in the thigh at the Battle of Chapultepec, and afterward married his first wife, Louise Garland. Throughout the 1850s, he served on frontier duty in the American Southwest. In June 1861, Longstreet resigned his U.S. Army commission and joined the Confederate Army. He commanded Confederate troops during an early victory at Blackburn's Ford in July and played a minor role at the First Battle of Bull Run.
Longstreet's talents as a general made significant contributions to several important Confederate victories, mostly in the Eastern Theater as one of Robert E. Lee's chief subordinates in the Army of Northern Virginia. He performed poorly at Seven Pines by accidentally marching his men down the wrong road, causing them to be late in arrival. He played an important role in the success of the Seven Days Battles in the summer of 1862. Longstreet led a devastating counterattack that routed the Union army at Second Bull Run in August. His men held their ground in defensive roles at Antietam and Fredericksburg. Longstreet's most controversial service was at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863, where he openly disagreed with General Lee on the tactics to be employed and reluctantly supervised several attacks on Union forces, including the disastrous Pickett's Charge. Afterwards, Longstreet was, at his own request, sent to the Western Theater to fight under Braxton Bragg, where his troops launched a ferocious assault on the Union lines at Chickamauga, which carried the day. Afterwards, his performance in semiautonomous command during the Knoxville Campaign resulted in a Confederate defeat. Longstreet's tenure in the Western Theater was marred by his central role in numerous conflicts amongst important Confederate generals. Unhappy serving under Bragg, Longstreet and his men were sent back to Lee. He ably commanded troops during the Battle of the Wilderness in 1864, where he was seriously wounded by friendly fire. He later returned to the field, serving under Lee in the Siege of Petersburg and the Appomattox Campaign.
He enjoyed a successful post-war career working for the U.S. government as a diplomat, civil servant, and administrator. His conversion to the Republican Party and his cooperation with his old friend, President Ulysses S. Grant, as well as critical comments he wrote in his memoirs about General Lee's wartime performance, made him anathema to many of his former Confederate colleagues. His reputation in the South further suffered when he led African-American militia against the anti-Reconstruction White League at the Battle of Liberty Place in 1874. Authors of the Lost Cause movement focused on Longstreet's actions at Gettysburg as a primary reason for the Confederacy's loss ...

Stanford Powwow
Every year. 30,000 people flock to the Stanford grounds from all around the U.S. to participate in Stanford Powwow, a completely student run production. This short documentary snap shots the experience of the people involved in this 3 day and 3 night event. It was first screened at the Stanford Film Festival in the spring of 2010 and will possibly be screened at Cantor Arts Center in fall of 2010. It was commissioned by the Stanford Powwow Committee of 2010. This also marks my first personal venture into documentary film making.
