New Mexico’s path to statehood was the longest in U.S. history, spanning 66 years and over 50 unsuccessful bids before finally achieving success in 1912. This presentation, Trains, Tuberculosis, and Tourism: The Road to New Mexico’s Statehood, explores the key economic, cultural, and political forces that played a role in overcoming long-standing resistance to admission. By examining Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders, the influx of health seekers battling tuberculosis, the expansion of the railroad, the influence of Fred Harvey’s tourism empire, and the emergence of Santa Fe Style architecture, this presentation uncovers how these seemingly disparate elements converged to reshape New Mexico’s image in the eyes of the nation. From military service to marketing campaigns, and from economic development to cultural reinvention, each factor played a vital role in transforming New Mexico from a rugged frontier into a viable candidate for statehood.

Traditional Southwestern pottery is beautiful but it is also sophisticated in function and technology. Ceramic vessels are part of all aspects of daily life, reflecting practical needs as well as social and cultural values. Archaeologists are able to make sense of the variety of pottery from past to present through principles of ceramic ecology. This talk will explore the intersection of ceramic resources, technologies, history and culture.

Dr. Eric Blinman joined the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies in 1988 and became the director in 2006. His training started in high school and continued at UC Berkeley before adding graduate degrees from Washington State University. In 1977, the results of his research on pollen providing clues to the environmental effects of ancient volcanic ashfalls bliwas published in Science (he claims the trajectory of his career went south after that). However, his range of interests is vast and extends from yucca fiber textiles to sumac coiled basketry.

A new class of prehistoric artifacts called portable lithophones has been identified from Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. “Litho” is Greek for stone and “phone” means sound. A lithophone is a musical instrument consisting of a purposely-selected rock, often formally-shaped, that is tapped or rubbed with friction to produce musical notes. Portable and stationary lithophones have been utilized in ancient and modern cultures around the world for thousands of years. Only a few highly-modified, portable lithophones have been formally recognized in North America, and none have been previously documented in Colorado. The artifacts being studied were originally thought to have functioned as grinding stones, pestles, and/or digging tools; however, testing has verified their acoustical properties. Twenty-two lithophones were analyzed as part of a Colorado State Historical Fund archaeological assessment grant. Their characteristics will be discussed, and a few sample lithophones will be demonstrated.
