In the Fall of 2021 I began a course to become an Archaeological Technician so I could do volunteer work for the Colorado Desert District, primarily w/in ABDSP. Lectures were via Zoom on Friday nights, field trips were on Saturdays. For the first class we ventured out to Mine Wash, which has a well-known archaeological site. The site has been surveyed many times, however, this time someone found an obsidian projectile point which was pretty cool. cool.gif

Do you have any photos of agave roasting pits?
