Crow Canyon Summer Newsletter

What are Crow Canyon’s interns up to? Our first 2024 cohort of interns wrapped up their Crow Canyon experience in mid-July. Internships at Crow Canyon are hands- on, experiential opportunities for students to build their resumes, expand transferable skills, and develop professional connections that advance career pathways. Interns reside in rustic hogans on campus and get to work closely with and learn from a wide variety of people. Here are a few of the projects they worked on during their time with us:

Delancey Griffin, American Indian Initiatives Intern : presented about Indigenous Archaeology, and developed strategies to help more Indigenous people get involved in internships Annie Kane, Education Intern : worked on lesson plans for a model pithouse and pueblo that teachers can deliver in the classroom Carly Rusch, Field Intern : helped develop and deliver a new Intro to Cultural Resource Management (CRM)

evening program for College Field School students and other interns Julia Frost, Field Intern : developed a poster on the East Great House (Haynie site) to present at the Pecos Conference in early August Jonah Bullen, Lab Intern : identified fragments of plants recovered from a 1,200-year-old structure at the Haynie site Ivan Clow, Lab Intern : recovered tiny pressure flakes from projectile point manufacture, tiny beads, and tiny animal bones from the heavy fractions of flotation samples from the Haynie site Chelsea Betts, Zooarchaeology Intern : worked on a project measuring artiodactyl body size in the Mesa Verde region through time
