10 Jun Telluride Inside…and Out Behind the scenes at Crow Canyon
Telluride Inside… and Out goes behind the scenes at Crow Canyon with Vice President of Programs Mark Varien, who has worked in the Crow Canyon research department since 1987.
Between 1987 and 1997, Varien directed Crow Canyon excavations at numerous archaeological sites. He earned a Ph.D. from Arizona State University, and won a Society for American Archaeology award for the best dissertation in archaeology in the United States for his investigations of regional settlement patterns. His paper later became a book:”Sedentism and Mobility in a Social Landscape: Mesa Verde and Beyond.”
From 1997 to 2007, Varien served as director of research at Crow Canyon.
Mark Varien has conducted archaeological research in Guatemala, New Zealand, and throughout the western United States. His primary area of expertise is the Mesa Verde region of southwestern Colorado. His professional interests include archaeology and public education, Pueblo social organization, settlement patterns and the formation of cultural landscapes, and American Indian involvement in archaeology. He is the author, coauthor, or editor of many books and articles in his field.
Research is at the core of Crow Canyon’s mission to advance knowledge of the human experience through archaeological research, education programs and collaboration with American Indians. The belief is that through research, we gain a broader and deeper appreciation of the human condition. The focus of Crow Canyon’s investigations is the ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) occupation of the Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado.
