(Phoenix, AZ – February 16, 2010) - For the entire month of March 2010, the ASP State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is coordinating activities throughout the state for the 28th anniversary celebration of Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month. These events will focus on current efforts to preserve our past by protecting our fragile and non-renewable cultural resources. Museums, historical societies, tribes, agencies, parks, and archaeology organizations will be hosting events across the state; many of the events are planned in Arizona State Parks as part of their interpretive programs.
Proclaimed by the Governor each year, this celebration will feature prehistoric and historic site tours, exhibits, hikes, open houses, lectures, demonstrations and other activities throughout Arizona. These events will give visitors new insights into Arizona's many prehistoric, historic, and contemporary cultures, and will help instill a sense of stewardship for our state’s fragile and nonrenewable heritage resources.
A free statewide listing of events is available and can be obtained by contacting the Arizona State Parks offices at (602) 542-4174, or by visiting the ASP website at http://azstateparks.com/find/arch_calendar.html
