About meI work in a university anthropology museum where I'm a collections manager for archaeological collections. My professional interests are mainly in the archaeology, prehistory and material culture of the Southwest US & Northwest MX, the US Great Plains, North America, western Europe, and the Near East, more-or-less in that order.
About my libraryMy books reflect my working interests in archaeology and anthropology and my recreational reading, which tends toward ancient history, military history, biography, historical mysteries, and science fiction.

Am hoping to nail down the precise date of the 2009 Shalako ceremony...
Live in Dordogne, France. Am traveling stateside late Nov. for family in FL. and the Shalako event.
I have AMERICAN INDIANS OF THE SOUTHWEST by Bertha Dutton, reprint 1993 which has non-specific information re date of yearly event...
My need to know ahead is to secure flight,hotel etc...in a timely fashion.
I hope you may be able to inform/refer me to a source...
Thanks,
Leon VanPoelvoorde

Are you familiar with the name Florence Hawley Ellis? She was an anthropologist/archaeologist who got her Masters at UA, Ph.D at U Chicago. She is almost always cited in somewhat earlier works on the Southwest, but died some years back. One of her mentors was Byron Cummings, who I think was the first State Archaeologist of Arizona.
I am curious to know if she is as well known in Arizona as she was in New Mexico.
Regards,
sara

I am curious about the figures in your photograph. At first I thought they might be Cochiti story tellers, but looking more closely, I don't think so.
Are you at the Museum at the University of Arizona?
I am not a professional in this field, but your interests seem to be similar to mine.
