Excerpt:Burnet Cave (also known as Rocky Arroyo Cave of Wetmore ) is an important archaeological and paleontological site located in Eddy County, New Mexico , United States within the Guadalupe Mountains . Physical details The cave has a southern exposure and is reported as being 21m (70 feet) from the canyon floor. It has an elevation of 1402 m (4600 feet) according to Shultz and Howard (1935). Archaeological Finds Excavation began in Burnet Cave, NM under returning student E. B. Howard who was working under Alden Mason's Southwestern Expeditions sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. The first southwestern trip was in 1929 and Bill Burnet showed them this cave on one of the first trips west. The early field seasons at Burnet Cave were 1930, 1931, and 1932, and they went back again in 1936 and 1937 (Howard 1936:22, 1943b). Additional survey work in the Guadalupe Mountains was done in 1934 as well but no new early sites were found (Howard 1935). The first Clovis point found in the modern era was excavated in situ at Burnet Cave, NM five feet, seven inches below ground surface on the edge of a hearth with burnt bison and musk-ox bones in August 1931(UPenn Museum catalog # 31-47-36) (Boldurian and Cotter 1999:73). This find predates Dent, Clovis, and all others pretending to be the first in situ Clovis find in the Americas. Until about 1950 Burnet Cave was considered to be among the handful of truly reliable intact Clovis sites but about that time it seems to have fallen out of favor because it was a cave, with an unusual Clovis faunule, that lacked the dramatic vision... ...

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "New Mexico," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have New Mexico in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with New Mexico when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name New Mexico, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
