Rockhound and Rock Art: 2012 Trip to Deming, NM Friends of Archaeology Event

The Deming area has always been a rockhound's paradise.  In the prehistoric past, the geologic diversity of the region attached Native Americans to the area looking to exploit the high quality cherts and chalcedonies for use in flaked stone production. In 2012, the Friends of Archaeology invites you to come explore Deming's past and culture with a three day trip to the region to areas that are either usually inaccessible for rarely visited by the public.  Throughout it all, sample local wine and food while experiencing the beautiful Chihuahuan desert landscape. Friends of Archaeology members will be informed trip costs and how to make a reservation at a future date.
