presentations

This site includes 9 slide shows. They were all free presentations in Moab about the area’s rock art. After the first showing I put the lecture into a pdf format and gave it to the Grand County Library where anyone could copy it. The shows on this site restore the video tricks and include a voice-over of the captions.
