Our Mission
OUR MISSION is to preserve archaeological sites and collections, to curate the collections locally, and to make them available for research and education; to develop partnerships with American Indians, cultural groups and the communities it serves; and to foster a deeper understanding of prehistory and American Indian history in the Verde Valley through the science of archaeology.
Center Announces Summer Archaeology Film Fest
With the hot summer days, hiking to most archaeology sites is generally not a good idea. Likewise, a lot of members leave the area for cooler climates. Yet, some of us stay here. To provide some activity for the summer, we will be hosting a free archaeology film every other Friday evening at the Sedona Public Library. All films will be free. Here is the schedule:
June 14
Stone Age Artists: The Magdalenian Masters
(France, 52 min.)
June 28
The Secret of the Snake Goddess
(Canada, 52 min.)

The Sign on the Stone: The unknown Sahara of the Peoples with no name
