Rock Art in New Mexico
Coronado Historic Site
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Fall Lecture Series at Coronado State Monument
Mr. Barron “Bear” Haley is a retired community college instructor of Biology, Marine Biology and Botany. After his retirement 10 years ago, he brought his lifelong avocation as a photographer to the study of petroglyphs and the Native American rock art images of New Mexico. Mr. Haley is an award winning member of several rock-art associations including the American Rock Art Research Association. He is also a recorder for the Bureau of Land Management and as such he has been up close and personal with rock art images as he photographs, logs and graphs images that remain as an 8000 year old record of the prehistoric peoples of Las Cruces up through the Rio Grande Gorge.
The self-proclaimed “rock-art bum” will present a slide show of rock art images he has studied, many of which are not accessible to the general public, either because they are considered sacred and may be on Native American lands or on undeveloped areas. These signs and symbols speak to us of an ancient past that continues to have significant meaning for current native inhabitants. Please join us for what is sure to be a fascinating and speculative look into the “face-book” of the past.
Lecture $5/adult, free to Members of the Friends of Coronado State Monument.
Event will be held at The DeLavy House (Sandoval County Historical Society), 161 Edmond Rd, Bernalillo, NM. Located off Rte 550, 1.7 miles west of I-25, Exit 242 (Just west of Coronado State Monument; turn north on the gravel road between the Phillips 66 station and the new IHOP restaurant).
