The project includes a plan to develop a public interpretation program for the entire Lowry area so that visitors will understand the Lowry community's significance to the prehistoric Indian occupations in Southwest Colorado. The FLC Anthropology Club will produce a newsletter three times each year to keep the public informed of the progress Fort Lewis College makes on the project. The newsletter also will be posted on the Internet through the World Wide Web. Judge also plans to develop a regional archaeological data base using geographic information systems and global positioning systems technologies and will compile published and unpublished reprots, archival materials and other relevant material. Ultimately, Judge said, the project will complete the information circle that is so often lacking in archaeological projects.
Archaeological research is a destructive process.
Reporting the findings is the only enduring component of the entire project. For more information about the Lowry Community project, contact Judge at 247-7409.
