Native American Pottery Collection Returns To Silver City
(SILVER CITY) -- Thirty years ago, Dr. Cynthia Bettison was a graduate student sifting through the dirt on a ranch outside silver city. Studying archaeology, she was looking for what was left of the Mimbres Native American people.
Today, she is the curator of the museum at Western New Mexico University. She says, even then, she knew she'd be back.
I said to my cohort...I'm gonna come back and fix this place...9 years later, the position opened up and everybody that heard me say that gave me the advertisement. I'd already applied, of course.
The Mimbres were a curious people. They lived from about A.D. 200 until the 1100's. Before they left, they swept the floors clean.
There was still plenty of evidence to be found, though. Mimbres families buried their ancestors close by...with a well-worn bowl placed on the head of the body.
Someone would pass away...and a portion of the floor would be dug up...they would be buried underneath the floor.
The bowls were painted, some in two or three different colors. Dr. Bettison says they're called a polychrome -- she chose one with a rattlesnake neck and head and the body of a turkey for the symbol of the museum. She says the two animals probably represent the intermarriage of clans.
Academic researchers brought back all the material...a lot of material.
The tools and pottery of the collection are so vast that it takes several rooms to store it all. Not all of it is open to the public, so the museum has dedicated a couple of rooms to just store racks and racks of the pottery.
Really what it did, it transformed our little museum that was known for...looted...Mimbres pottery into this incredible academic research museum...there will never be another collection like the NAN Ranch Collection.
That's because the excavation was performed on private property and before New Mexico law prevented moving any Native American remains, even for research.
Bettison says it could take decades to sort through everything here. For now, the material is waiting for a new generation of archaeologists to tell its story.

There are 23 developed campgrounds and the camp ground that stayed at was Meza camp ground. it had about 30 sites with about half with hookups, electricity and water $15 no hookups is $10. The park had real nice clean restrooms with running water. If you have the Senior pass to camp the cost is $5 and $7.50 per night. Roberts lake you can walk to from camp and has a walking trail around the lake. I would give this a 4 stars camp ground.

Travel Guide New Mexico tm Gila Cliff Dwellings, Silver City , New Mexico
Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument offers a glimpse of the homes and lives of the people of the Mogollon culture who lived in the Gila Wilderness from the 1280s through the early 1300s. The surroundings probably look today very much like they did when the cliff dwellings were inhabited. The monument is surrounded by the Gila National Forest and lies at the edge of the Gila Wilderness, the nation's first designated wilderness area. This designation means that the wilderness character of the area will not be altered by roads or other evidence of human presence. Hiking in the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness areas is a popular activity in the area. There are also several popular hot springs nearby. The closest, Lightfeather, is a twenty-minute walk from the Visitor Center. The most popular is Jordan, a 6- or 8-mile hike from the Visitor Center, depending upon the trailhead used.
