ARCHAEOLOGY IN WEST-CENTRAL ARIZONA: Proceedings of the 1996
Arizona Archaeological Council Prescott Conference
Edited by Thomas N. Motsinger, Douglas R. Mitchell, and James M. McKie
Compared to surrounding regions, the Prescott area has
historically been a fertile but
neglected little plot for archaeological research. Neglected no longer,
the Prescott
region now stands on the cusp of a new era of archaeological studies
brought on by a
much-matured public commitment to proper preservation and management of
the area’s
cultural resources. This collection of 22 papers, arranged by
chronological periods,
explores the rich archaeological heritage of the area.

UPCOMING PUBLICATIONS
• A YAVAPAI WITNESS: The Autobiography and Letters of Mike
Burns, 1863-1934
Edited by Norm Tessman and Robert Sullivan
The Yavapai child who became known as Mike Burns was captured by the
Fifth U. S.
Cavalry in 1872. He became a mascot and scout for the unit,
accompanying them on campaigns
against the Plains Indians. Educated at Carlisle Indian School, Burns
was pulled back to
Arizona Territory, where he spent his life seeking justice for his
people. In the 1920s he
unsuccessfully sought a publisher for his massive manuscript about his
life and the fate
of his tribe. Burn’s perspective is unusual, that of a literate and
educated Indian
witness to the military defeat of his people.

collection, Cactus and Pine. Both books provide insight into
the life of a ranch woman in the Old West. |

BACKLIST–MAPS
• THE CARLOS BUTTERFIELD MAP OF 1859
The Butterfield map reflects one proposal, out of many, for
dividing the huge
Territory of New Mexico in 1859. This full-color 25" x 29" map shows a
division of New
Mexico and Arizona with Arizona stretched along the Mexican border and
New Mexico on top
of Arizona, rather than in their current side-by-side configuration.
This division was
advocated by southern secessionists as the nation hurtled toward the
Civil War. The
original map is available for researchers in the Sharlot Hall Museum
archives.
