DEAR
ASM FRIENDS,
Please join us in congratulating members of our staff on some recent
accomplishments:
Lisa Falk, ASM director of education, recently received the Museum Association
of Arizona's Award for Contribution in recognition of her outstanding work on
"Through the Eyes of the Eagle" and for her continued work in the museum field.
She was recognized April 19, 2012 in Phoenix at MAA's annual conference.
Dr. Patrick Lyons, head of collections and acting associate director, is quoted
extensively in this story about ASM’s role in the federal investigation
Operation Cerberus:
http://alumni.arizona.edu/communications/article/1068
Patrick’s research, and that of Tucson colleagues at Archaeology Southwest, is
cited often in the newly published third edition of Archaeology of the
Southwest (Cordell and McBrinn), including three pages devoted to their
extensive work in the San Pedro Valley (pp. 263-266). Archaeology of the
Southwest is the go-to textbook providing a coherent and comprehensive
summary of the major themes and topics central to the modern practice and
interpretation of Southwest archaeology.
And,
congratulations to Drs. Suzanne Fish and Paul Fish on the publication of
“Hohokam Society and Water Management” in The Oxford Handbook of North
American Archaeology, Oxford Press, 2012.

Gatekeeper's Museum presents...Woven Legacy: A Collection of
Dat-so-la-lee Works, 1900-1921
The collection comprises an
outstanding exhibition of 62 miniatures and models, woven for Amy Cohn, from
1900-1921. Dat-so-la-lee (Louisa Keyser) became well known for her talent while
creating baskets exclusively for Cohn's Emporium Store in Carson City, NV and at
the Bicose in Tahoe City, CA, producing over 100 recorded large and miniature
Washoe-style baskets, from 1895-1925. Her creations have since become
world-renowned and remain a lasting tribute to the artist. Now privately owned,
this will be the first time Amy Cohn's personal collection will be on public
display. This exhibition runs from May - October 2005/2006, (the show is
still listed on website in 2012), and features baskets, personal items, photographs and
educational materials. This program has been made possible in part by the Placer
County Visitor Council and the County of Placer. For more information call (530)
