[OR_Archaeology] Oregon Archaeological Society Lecture-Jim Keyser

[John Pouley]

***************PRESS RELEASE


“Fremont Rock Art on the Southwestern Wyoming Frontier” is the title of
the February 4, 2014 lecture sponsored by the Oregon Archaeological
Society (OAS). The featured speaker is Dr. Jim Keyser. 



Fremont rock art, best known from the large, elaborate figures of the
Classic Vernal Style, is widely known to all rock art aficionados.
Although Fremont occupation and rock art has long been rumored to exist
in southwestern Wyoming , the only images so far published have not been
particularly convincing. Recent OAS rock art research in the area has
resulted in the identification and recording of sites that demonstrate,
beyond a doubt, that there was a strong Fremont presence in southwestern
Wyoming. 



Keyser has conducted rock art research across western North America. He
also has an ongoing research interest in European rock art in France,
Spain, and Italy. He is a member of the Science Advisory Committee for
the Study of Chauvet Cave (France), and is listed in Who's Who in Rock
Art. Prior to retirement, he served for 27 years as a regional
archeologist for the U.S. Forest Service. He maintains faculty
affiliation with the University of Montana and has more than 150
archaeology publications of which more than 100 concern rock art, robe
art, or ledger art. The presentation is at Oregon Museum of Science and
Industry (OMSI) at 7:45 PM, and is free and open to the public. The talk
is preceded by a general business meeting beginning at 7 PM, that is
also open to the public
