Pecos * Rio Grande

Directory

History, once the fugitive of dusty pages, as I recall it in my youth, now is as open and fresh a science as the modern media.

From science we have views of ours future history. The electronic media of today allows us the power to live our history as we write it in the books.

The Anthropologist, with the aid of archaeology, has preserved the story of man, from the days he built in the sands the great pyramids, to standing on the decks with explorers like Columbus.

All three have, by theory, painted a picture of pre history, the era of the big bang to man evolving to be man human. Now the Pecos museum hopes to open the last door.

Long rusty and closed, the Archaic door, has been bypassed. Now we will pry open that door for you. Learn how man, a distant shadow of the prehistoric past, discovered he was human.

Pecos displays now open for viewing:

The mini-arts. Stone, bone, wood, if man could hold it, he painted it. 9, 000 years of art, now you can enjoy.

THE HUMAN HANDS AT WORK

Pendants and Gorgets, the big beads.

The mind at work, sort of.

Cave art. Did you climb up to the caves? From over a thousand caves, man's first view of man. From Texas, the world's #1 display.

They're all there: The total collection of over 60 rare baby sandals

Feet starting to get a bit on the tender side? Early man had the same problem. Among the three hundred plus recovered samples of early man's footwear there were over sixty practice or miniature sandals. Was it school days at the old red school house (cave)?

Stone tools.

Tools of the stone age.

Don't kick it, look at it. Art in stone.

A work in the works, visit

Samples from Texas, Florida, Canada, and Mexico.

Bone as tools and at play.

Yes! we have it, Man's first hinge.

How did it get it's start? Is this the

oldest recorded use of a mechanical item made by man?

Gee only one more?
