The Majestic Rock Art on the Arizona Chevelon Plateau
Peter Blystone
Thursday, February 20 - 3:00 pm
Location: VVAC
Join us at the museum for an insightful presentation, The Majestic Rock Art On The Arizona Chevelon Plateau. This rock art style hidden in remote sandstone canyons, from the Archaic to the Ancestral Pueblo period, dates it roughly from 6000 B.C. to 1450 A.D. Peter Blystone will focus on the early Archaic style which may have initiated a regional iconography still seen and honored in the Pueblo belief systems today. This presentation represents years of exploring, photographing, and marveling the cultural aesthetic in this mythic landscape.
Peter Blystone, M.A. is a Flagstaff based documentary filmmaker who is also passionate about landscape archaeology. Peter studied anthropology and documentary film. He worked on numerous media projects with the Museum of Northern Arizona, and co-founded a Flagstaff production company Echo Productions. He has produced documentaries nationally and internationally, and participated in many rock art conferences through the years. Peter is currently working on a documentary about the future of the big cat, Mexican Jaguar.
Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
After the presentation a light reception will be provided.
