archaeologists into different categories in order to better understand the

people who made them. The petroglyphs of Mesa Prieta are being recorded

by archaeologists, students and other interested people through the Mesa

Prieta Petroglyph Pro8ect. Classification of the petroglyphs is an important

part of the recording, along with sketching, photographing, writing and

using )lobal Positioning System ")PS&. The person who is doing the

recording must decide which category to put the petroglyph in. Sometimes it

is not clear which category to place it in, so

the recording team must decide how to

categori9e the petroglyph. The students will

also be making 8udgments that may ary from

one another. The teacher may wish to ask

6uestions that will help the student make a

decision. *or e2ample, if the student placed

the animal flute player in the animal category,you may ask what the animal is holding and if it could go in another

category. The ten categories we are using here were simplified by combining

some of the categories from theDesign &lement 'nventory ('llustrated)+ *or

the students, we hae included petroglyphs from only the Ancestral Pueblo

period so there are no Christian crosses.
