It's that time of year again! We're starting to gear up for our Annual Atlatl Competition at the NHL, and boy, do we have news for you! This year the Blackwater Draw National Historic Landmark will be co-hosting the State Archaeology Fair at the site (along with State representatives). Lucky us, and lucky you! We will have the same competition that you all know and love, but we will also have different booths, volunteers, and representatives from all over the state. Now, I kn

We will be closed for part of Wednesday, January 9th and closed on Friday, January 11th. We apologize for the inconvenience… many of our student employees are still trickling back after their breaks (lucky ducks!) #opentothepublic #anthropologydepartment #holidayhours #closures #museum

IMPORTANT NOTE: The museum will be closed for most of the week of October 21-27. We simply don't have the staff for that week due to conferences and events around campus. Please call before making your plans! We plan to be open Sunday, Tuesday after 1, Thursday after 1, and Saturday. We are trying to get coverage for the other times. Again, please call before making any plans regarding the museum, and remember that the site is always closed during the week this time of year.

All: we are excited to announce that we have begun planning in earnest for our 18th Annual Atlatl Competition! This year's date will be October 27th, the last Saturday of the month as has been our tradition in years past. We will have our competition, as well as our special Director's Tour, so make sure to mark your calednars. Please keep an eye out for our new flyer, as well as more information in the coming days... and as always, share widely! #opentothepublic #clovis #atla

It's that time of year, y'all. It's bittersweet: yes, we're shutting down the site soon, and we're dropping down to our fall hours, but Atlatl Day is coming up, too! It's not all tears. Please take care when planning your trip to Blackwater Draw. For the last two weeks of August we will have Friday-Sunday hours ONLY. This will then drop to Saturday-Sunday through the end of October, at which point we will shut down for the winter. Thanks for your support, and we hope to see y
