James Bell Benedict, 72, long time Colorado geologist and

archaeologist, passed away at his home west of Jamestown

on March 8 after struggling with Alzheimer‘s disease and

kidney cancer. After receiving a BA in Geology from CU-

Boulder, and PhD from UW-Madison, Benedict worked at

CU‘s Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research. In 1971,

Benedict formed the Center for Mountain Archaeology in

Ward, CO. Over the years he published more than 70 pro-

fessional papers and books including eight highly regarded

Center for Mountain Archaeology Research Reports. Bene-

dict‘s research was both groundbreaking and extensive in-

cluding glacier and alpine studies, game-drive hunting sys-

tems, timberline dynamics, lichenometery and ethno-

botany. During his career he served as a faculty affiliate at

Colorado State University and a research associate at the

Denver Museum of Nature and History. In 1995, the Colo-

rado Archaeological Society presented Benedict with its

prestigious C.T. Hurst award for extraordinary and ongo-

ing contributions to defining Colorado prehistory**. More

recently Benedict contributed to Southwestern Lore with

the article ‗Ice Patches and Remnant Glaciers: Paleon-

tological Discoveries and Archaeological Possibilities in

the Colorado High Country‘ co-authored with Craig Lee

and James Lee. Read the 2006 article in volume 72, no 1,

pages 26-43.

Contributions in Benedict‘s memory may be made to the

James and Audrey Benedict Mountain Archaeology Fund

at Colorado State University

(https://advancing.colostate.edu/1582) or Hospice Care of

Boulder and Broomfield Counties

(www.hospicecareonline.org). Thoughts and memories can

be shared with the family at www.howemortuary.com. A

private memorial service was held on March 27.

PAAC Summer Survey, 6/12-6/28 from PAAC web si te

This year the survey returns to inventory state trust lands in

the same Antelope Gulch area of northwestern Fremont

County as was surveyed in 2010. This project is on lands

surrounding a site described in a journal article by Donald

Tucker (2001), ―Stone Circles at Antelope Gulch, Fremont

County, Colorado,‖ Southwestern Lore (67)1:1-17.

Antelope Gulch is in a remote location lacking public fa-

cilities of any sort, and involves hiking across somewhat

rugged terrain; prospective participants must be in reasona-

bly good physical condition. The ability to contend with

hot summer days, bothersome insects, and generally primi-

tive working conditions is a necessity. Volunteers must

supply their own transportation, room and board, daypack

and personal gear such as canteens, but there is no fee for

participation. The Office of the State Archaeologist of

Colorado (OSAC) supplies all surveying, recording and

mapping equipment as well as the professional archaeolo-

gist(s) who supervises the volunteers.

Prospective participants must submit (or have previously

submitted) a signed PAAC application form, and comple-

tion of the Basic Site Surveying Techniques, Historical

Archaeology and Prehistoric Lithics Description & Analy-

sis classes is highly recommended prior to field training. In

general, the more PAAC classes one has completed the

more rewarding the experience on the Summer Training

Survey. However, if space is available, no classroom ex-

perience is required for participation on the survey.

Applicants for the survey should identify on which specific

dates they prefer to participate (two days minimum) and

provide their mailing address, phone/fax, and e-mail ad-

dress. The deadline for 2011 applications is May 13. Send

application materials by mail or email to Kevin Black,

PAAC Coordinator, Office of the State Archaeologist ,

Colorado Historical Society, Civic Center Plaza, 1560

Broadway, Suite 400, Denver, CO 8020 or

[email protected].

in Colorado history. Dr. Jonathan Rees, Colorado State

University-Pueblo, explains both the successes and

failures of this attempt to create industrial democracy

over the course of its history between the two world

wars. While this story takes place in southern Colo-

rado, its lessons deal not just with the history of mining

rado‘s Rick Manzanares, director of the Fort Garland

Museum, presents different perspectives on the story of

the ―bloody‖ Espinosas. For years, members of the

Espinosa family of southern Colorado killed Anglo

Americans, eluding the law and dodging military pa-

trols from Fort Garland. Desperate authorities eventu-

ally turned to trapper and scout Tom Tobin to track

them down; in 1863, Tobin brought in two of the mur-

derers‘ heads in a sack and presented them to Fort Gar-

Page 7 Volume 26, Issue 4

Local and Regional Activit ies (cont.) compiled by Lucy Burr is

lands Commandant. The family‘s story is a subject of

continuing debate. Having killed 32 people, the

Espinosas remain Colorado‘s most prolific serial kill-

ers. Yet in his epic poem, ―I Am Joaquin,‖ political

activist Rodolfo ―Corky‖ Gonzales refers to the

Espinosas as heroes. Tickets http://www.colorado

Historicorps seeks Volunteers a t Ar rowhead Lodge

Registration still open for 5/14 – 5/15; 5/21 – 5/22.

HistoriCorps saves and sustains historic places for public benefit through

partnerships that foster public involvement, engage volunteers and provide

training and education. HistoriCorps will be rehabilitating the Mountain Park Picnic Shelter to remain a usable and preferred public facility. Cur-

rently, the site has suffered from deferred maintenance and needs a new

roof. The cabins at the Arrowhead Lodge are also under-maintained. His-

toriCorps will be reroofing the Wigwam and Ute cabins so that the historic cabins may be better utilized and cared for.

Location: The Mountain Park Picnic Shelter is located in the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest. The Mountain Park Campground is located 23.3

miles up Highway 14 from the Highway 287 turnoff. The campground sits

beside the Poudre River. The Arrowhead Lodge is located an additional 9

miles up the canyon from Mountain Park.

Lodging: Camping is available at the Mountain Park Campground located

on site. The campground includes 55 sites with a maximum spur length of 45′. Drinking water, seven restrooms, showers, disabled facilities, group

camping, electrical hook-ups and picnic area are available.

Scope of Work: The Mountain Park Picnic Shelter suffers from deferred maintenance requires a new cedar shingle roof to be installed. Sometime in

between construction of the building and present the historic windows, shut-

ters, and door were removed. HistoriCorps will reconstruct the windows, shutters, and door. At the Arrowhead Lodge, HistoriCorps will be reroofing the Wigwam and Ute cabins with asphalt

shingles; the roofs of the cabins are currently severely compromised and need to be replaced.

Colorado Archaeological Society Code of Ethics

Members will uphold State and Federal antiquities laws and regulations.

Excavation of archaeological sites will be conducted only according to professionally accepted procedures developed in consultation with a

professional archaeologist and with the written permission of the landowner. The investigator has the responsibility for publication of the

results of his/her investigation and for making the collection available for further scientific study.

Members are encouraged to report archaeological sites to the Office on the State Site Report forms. Materials collected from the surface

sites shall be catalogued and described in the site survey report. Collected materials should either be deposited with the State Archaeologist's

office or made available for scientific study.

Members will not support illegal or unscientifically conducted activities by participating in or condoning the sale, exchange or purchase of

artifacts obtained from such sites.

Members who exhibit artifacts will do so in an educational context. Items from burials and objects considered sacred will not be exhibited.

Members will cooperate with the State Archaeologist and other agencies concerned with archaeology and related fields.

Members will respect the dignity of groups whose cultural histories are the subject of archaeological investigation.

Members will not participate in conduct involving dishonesty, deceit, or misrepresentation about archaeological matters.
