The Pecos Conference finished today. It is an annual gathering of archaeologists who work in southwestern North America, always held outdoors in the late summer. The first Pecos Conference was organized in 1927 by A.V. Kidder and held near Pecos Pueblo, New Mexico, where Kidder had been excavating. This year's conference was in the forest near Flagstaff, Arizona. It started raining soon after I took the picture.
