Darwin and The Inkas in Pacific South America: Recent Impressions from the Galapagos Islands and Peru

4/4/2017

DARWIN AND THE INKAS IN PACIFIC SOUTH AMERICA
Recent impressions from
the Galapagos Islands and Peru
By Dale Croes, PNWAS Director
Archaeologist and Anthropologist

Dr. Dale Croes recently was treated to a South American trip by his son, Jaered Croes. They visited the Galapagos Islands that Darwin explored on his historic voyage of the Beagle as a 26 year old Naturalist. Then we toured several Inkan ruins in Peru, witnessing this ancient civilization and their centers.

As suggested at our Winter PNWAS meeting, the group agreed they would like to hear more about the anthropological and archaeological impressions Dr. Croes had while on this trip, especially about what Charles Darwin experienced and the archaeology of the Inka witnessed. We also will explore the amazing archaeological centers of the Inkan civilization. The stone masonry in their monumental construction is unsurpassed in workmanship and building efforts.

An Ancient Coast Salish Canoe from the Green River:
A Project Update
By
Peter Lape, Warren KingGeorge, Laura
Phillips, and Sven Haakanson, University of
Washington, Burke Museum

The Burke Museum’s collections include a wooden dugout canoe that was found eroding out of the banks of the Green River in Kent, WA in 1963. With support from a John Gardener grant from the Traditional Small Craft Association, Burke and Muckleshoot Tribe scholars are creating detailed 3D model of the canoe, radiocarbon dating of the hull and fiber repairs, creating a custom storage cradle, and recording histories of Coast Salish river canoes from tribal elders.
We will present our results to date.
