The PECOS is a new era museum,
a twenty first century anthropological display. Please, this is not a display of the American
Indians, nor his ancestors. What we will offer you is the story of man, man as he
became human. This is a story of all man, and his history, our history. Unlike most TV, it's a true story.
We offer the art of early man 9,000 to 2,000 BP
This year we have added a new hall of "History", the story of man and his hunting points.
The Pecos museum has in the past tried to offer some insight to the Archaic
era, 2,000 to 10,000 BP. (before present era).
Again we guide the visitor along this path of man's history. But to do the visit
justice, required by the story of points, we cover the full range of recovered
points by the Pecos, as well as other noted forms recorded.
To aid those not so versed in point identification, we have also included a few
notes on point features.
We recommend this page on features, the knowing the distal compared to
stem, or a barb may help.
A sort of fender kicking, and so many options. If I were to suggest there are almost as many
forms of points, as new car styles on the show room floors, I would be short changing
early man.
If art is the calling of your interest, the Pecos is now adding the works of Clarence B. Moore to
the pottery displays. His discoveries and the paintings of Mary Louise Baker are all you could ask for.
From very rare papers, 1898 to 1915, the Academy of Natural Sciences, published his works.
Now we offer them to you.
Was Picaso a caveman? Doubt it. But was caveman a Picaso?
We only need to view the art of the West Texas shelters, to find our answer. To help us, Forrest
Kirkland, with aid of his wife Lula, spent years placing cave art onto canvas.
From these efforts, the works were compiled by W. W. Newcomb, Jr. in his book The Rock
Art of Texas Indians.
Using a first edition of 1967, the Pecos Rio Grande Museum will offer you many of these fine
arts, saved from the hands of modern man and his graffiti.
I thank the late Dr. Dave Dibble, of the University of Texas, for this fine collection. Now, from
hundreds of shelters, the many views of man.
Darwin, Darwin, Darwin, was he a nineteenth century Nostradamus, of man's history? Or
a cancer to our knowledge of our past.
Try us...
-----
The work of
archaeology is one of, "Who, Where and When". This along with the WHY
from the anthropologist. And, if they can, "What" it is.
The Pecos, in it's featured displays, will not only offer
you artifacts not to be seen in museums elsewhere,
also their Who, Where,
When. And the What or YYY, will be there for you also.
You have met them, Man and Human. We know man by his intelligence,
his adaptability, his sameness. A creature like you and me.
We know Human, because he "is" us. But can you describe him? I can't.
If you find this an interesting subject, a visit to the Pecos
Library will delight you. And just maybe, human will be there.
One extra note. The Pecos museum uses the term "BP" when offering an age
for an artifact or event. "BP" is short for "Before Present era".
Much is offered today on TV about mummies. Here at the Pecos you will
visit the oldest discovery of a member of the family of man human,
ever recovered in the Americas. Our two to eight thousand year old child
will offer you an insight to family love, long before the time of
Indian tribes.
Please come and visit the First American.
If you would like to do more that just look, let your fingers walk the
halls for you. There will be doors to the museum labs, the data and
reasoning is in our dusty library and even the curator can be nudged
for a few words, if you want them.
Just select a door and enter with a click,
and please try and visit us again. The Pecos is an evolving set of
displays, and after ten years on the net, and a twenty five year history of public display,
we are only getting started.
It's spring in West Texas, the desert is in it's bloom time.
Join me and
early man, art by nature.
