Who: Craig Banister: Northern Spain and Portugal – 15 Days Exploring Paleolithic Cave Art, Rock Art, and Museums
I joined the Denver Chapter of CAS in 2011 and have worked as an avocational archaeologist ever since, doing site surveys, excavations, and as a volunteer, curated artifacts at various repositories. I am also a South Park Site Steward and work with the other stewards to monitor and document archaeological sites in South Park. My current major project is the Colorado Projectile Point Database, which has scanned images of projectile points from private collections and museum collections. Data is collected for each projectile point and along with the image are uploaded to the website, which is free and available for use by anyone. There are currently over 11,000 images in the database. The goal is to scan as many private and museum collections as possible for use in research.
