Everything
in its Place
With thousands of artifacts, dating from prehistoric
times to just a few decades ago, The Arizona State
Museum is the nation’s largest nonfederal
archaeological repository.
A t first glance, the repository of
the Arizona State Museum can be a
bit overwhelming, with its trays of
artifacts, stacks of boxes and piles
of files. But repository curator Ar-
thur Vokes, along with his assistant
and a team of student employees
and volunteers, knows there’s a
place for everything, and every-
thing has its place.
As the nation’s largest nonfed-
eral archaeological repository, the
Arizona State Museum boasts an
impressive array of artifacts be-
yond what visitors normally get to
see in the facility’s display cases.
Established in 1984 as the state’s
official repository, the museum
is charged under the Arizona An-
tiquities Act with receiving and
managing any archaeological
materials discovered on Arizona
state lands. Artifacts unearthed in
archeological excavations arrive in
a relatively regular stream, with the
repository processing between 700
and 1,500 cubic-foot-sized boxes of
them per year.
Everything from prehistoric
tools and pottery shards to broken
dishes and old soda bottles are la-
beled, cataloged and stored, along
with documentation relevant to
their origin.
The repository is an important
resource for archaeologists and
researchers in Tucson and across
the globe, who can access the col-
lections for study.
“It’s not just the artifacts the
repository takes. It’s the maps,
the notes – and that information
is invaluable,” said Bill Doelle,
president of the Tucson archaeol-
ogy company Desert Archaeology
Inc. and president of the nonprofit The Arizona State Museum processes up to 1,500
boxes of artifacts annually – mostly pottery and

are housed in an off-campus ware-
house. Artifacts processed in the
repository are also photographed
and inventoried electronically, as
part of an ongoing effort to create a
publicly searchable database of the
museum’s collections.
Much of the work is done by UA
undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents.
For those students, who repre-
sent a variety of academic disci-
plines on campus, the opportunity
to work with museum collections
behind the scenes can be impor-
tant career development.
Rachel Hessick, a student cura-
torial assistant, categorizes arti-
facts as they come into the reposi-
tory. Her work in the museum is
helping her prepare for a potential
career in museum education.
“The most valuable thing I’ve
learned, as an archaeology student,
is the importance of what happens
to artifacts after they’re dug up,”
Hessick said. “It’s getting me famil-
iar with museums and the educa-
tion process.”

inventory for
the repository’s
collections.
The majority of the finds – about
60 percent – brought in by archae-
ologists are pottery, Vokes said.
Stone artifacts make up the bulk of
the rest, with some bone and shell
pieces mixed in. Then there are the
occasional oddball, and more mod-
ern, discoveries – like a pair of den-
tures from the 1930s and a whole,
unbroken 1920s light bulb with the
filament still intact.
Pieces worthy of public display
are plucked from storage for in-
clusion in Arizona State Museum
exhibits or are loaned to other mu-
seums.
Many repository items are part
of the museum’s prehistoric jew-
elry exhibit, “Set in Stone: 2,000
Years of Gem and Mineral Trade in
the Southwest,” on display through
February. The museum is also
home to the world’s largest collec-
tion of Southwest American Indian
pottery, with more than 20,000
whole vessels, many of which are
on display as part of the ongoing
exhibit “The Pottery Project.”
With one of the world’s largest
research collections focused on
Arizona’s historic and prehistoric
cultures, the museum attracts re-
searchers from across the globe.
“Most states don’t have the rich-
ness of the archaeological record
in the sense of having thousands of
years of occupational history that
is still essentially intact,” Vokes
said.
As growth and development con-
tinue statewide, bringing ongoing
excavations of potential building
sites, unearthed archaeological
treasures will continue to come
into the repository, he said.
Before an archaeological project
on state lands can get under way,
companies must receive a permit
and a repository agreement for
their work, which is also handled
through the Arizona State Museum.
The museum issues agreements
for anywhere from 70 to 100 proj-
ects a year, Vokes said, and once
archaeologists’ excavations and
reports are complete, they pay the
museum a fee to manage and store
their finds.
An affiliate of the Smithsonian
Institution, the Arizona State Muse-
um is the oldest and largest anthro-
pology museum in the Southwest,
established in 1893. Visitors to the
museum can explore indigenous
cultures of Arizona and northern
Mexico through exhibits of Ameri-
can Indian artwork and artifacts.

coaches have even made it a re-
quirement, Bell said.
Athletes attend a three-hour,
on-campus training session, which
includes an interactive PowerPoint
presentation, followed by a break-
out session that allows groups of
students to talk through possible
real-life situations in which their
intervention could make a positive
difference. Each student receives a
paperback “Student-Athlete Guide,”
filled with examples of scenarios
where they might ht be able to help,
including situations
ions involving al-
cohol, hazing, relationship
elationship abuse,
eating disorders, s, depression, dis-
crimination and d more. The booklet
“We’re trying

but also to be leaders in the community.”

assume personal responsibility,
know how to help, and implement
the help – or “step up.”
“It’s a great awareness program,”
said UA student Pat Metham, a
member of the UA men’s tennis
team who went through the train-
ing. “Now I can recognize a situa-
tion that needs intervention; it’s
much easier to pick up on it. It also
helps people realize even one per-
son can make a difference, and that
the impact won’t go unnoticed.”

not only to be responsible and re-
spectful but also to be leaders in
the community.”
With peer pressure an undeni-
able part of college life, the pro-
gram is a helpful reminder for stu-
dents to make good choices, said
one student-athlete who completed
the training.
“It really opens your eyes about
what kinds of situations aren’t OK,”
said Maggie Callahan, a member of
the UA cross country and track and
field teams.
“Especially going into college,
everyone’s trying to fit in and
they’re not necessarily going to
leave their comfort zone to help,”
she added.
Callahan is one of about 35
student-athletes in the UA’s P.A.L.,
or Peer Athletic Leaders, program,
which Bell advises. The peer men-
toring group is designed to help
freshmen athletes make the transi-
tion into college.
Teammate and fellow P.A.L.
member Shelly Splittberger said
STEP UP! helped provide her with
valuable information to pass along
to younger students.
“Freshmen are always so willing
to learn and look up to people so
it’s such a benefit for upperclass-
men” to go through the program,
she said.
Splittberger also appreciates
athletes from all different sports on
lete population, Bell notes that the
program’s teachings are universally
applicable, and many other schools
across the country are adapting
the program for use in divisions
like Greek life, residence life, sexual
assault centers and student affairs.
Bell said she hopes the program
will continue to grow, encouraging
more people to take responsibility
and step up.

The Ultimate Doo-Wop Show, 8 p.m.
Take a trip back in time to the cool
days – a time of black slacks, blue suede
shoes and poodle skirts. The harmony
style known as “doo-wop” emerged from
the streets of big cities like New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore
and spread across the nation on radio
waves and turntables. Every generation
since has rediscovered the magic of
doo-wop. Join us for an evening with the
hit-makers, including Charlie Thomas
and the Drifters, Jimmy Clanton and
The Blue Suede Orchestra.

The Holmes Brothers “the undisputed

Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, 7 p.m.
Founded in 1841 by citizens of Salzburg,
together with Mozart’s widow, Con-
stanze, the orchestra dominated 19th
century Salzburg’s musical life and are
today the city’s musical ambassadors to
the world. Under the baton of Ivor Bol-
ton, the 90-member orchestra continues
to generate critical acclaim.

Kathy Mattea: Moving Mountains,
8 p.m.
Grammy Award-winning Mattea has a
string of folk and country hits, includ-
ing “18 Wheels and A Dozen Roses” and
“Where’ve You Been.” Her chart-topping
2008 CD, “Coal,” reveals her rich,
compassionate alto at the height of her
powers, and with a newfound passion
for storytelling. Raised near Charles-
ton, W. Va., she grew up immersed in
the Appalachian culture. She turned to
bluegrass and her own family’s history
in the mines to give voice to the some-
times humorous, often perilous, culture
of coal mining.

An Arizona Public Media member gets a digital television camera

On air since 1959, KUAT is one of the top
10 most watched and most supported
pubic television stations in the country.
If you’re a fan of public
broadcasting – specifically
National Public Radio and
the Public Broadcasting
Service – you’ll be happy
to know you can easily find
these broadcasting services
in Southern Arizona.
If your morning routine
includes tuning into “Morning Edi-
tion” on your radio, you can find it
on KUAZ 89.1 FM, where listeners
also get a healthy dose of local
news and evening jazz. Television
viewer favorites like “Antiques

This year KUAT Channel
6 and its public media organization
celebrate 50 years of service to the
Tucson community and Southern
Arizona.
KUAT is one of the top 10 most
watched and most supported
public stations (per capita) in the
country, and is ranked No. 1 when
www.arizona.edu
compared with stations licensed to
Top-10 public research universities.
During an average week, more than
380,000 people in Southern Arizona
watch or listen to one or more of
our stations. And Channel 6 has the
greatest market share among all
stations in Tucson for children ages
2-11.
“When I had small children at
home, they literally grew up with
public television … whether it was
for entertainment or educational
programming, that’s where they
wanted to be,” said University of
Arizona President Robert N. Shel-
ton. “My wife and I still thrive on

www.arizona.edu
the programming that KUAT and
public television provide.”
In the land grant tradition of the
UA, Arizona’s first university, KUAT-
TV-6 launched on March 8, 1959,
and was the first public station in
Arizona. The call letters approved
by the FCC stand for “University of
Arizona Television.”
The name Arizona Public Media,
AZPM for short, was adopted last
year for the parent organization of
the UA public media stations, now
offering six channels of television
content on two full-power digital
transmitters and a cable channel,
and three channels of radio. All of
these services operate from a facil-
ity on campus that was built in the
1960s for a single TV station. “It’s
been a long trail from the first time
I watched a very snowy KUAT in
Bisbee to the all-digital TV signal
in 2009,” said nationally renowned
author J.A. Jance, a KUAT fan.
KUAT has delivered consistent,
award-winning, in-depth news
and public affairs, science and
nature, arts, entertainment and
educational children’s program-
ming for decades, and has moved
in a bold way into the digital age,
offering local coverage in virtually

In 2006, students, staff and faculty
worked to contour bases around
trees to capture roof rainwater run-
off that once drained into adjacent
streets.
Thermal Ice Storage Plant
A unique ice storage system uses
chillers to make ice at night. Dur-
ing the day, the ice melts to cool
campus buildings, saving the Uni-
versity more than $400,000 a year
in energy costs.

The underground building features
the UA’s first “green roof.” A thick,

Through the scientific study of tree
rings, a field established in 1937 at
the UA, researchers can uncover
important information about cli-

future environmental issues.

This 53,000-square-foot project is

University policy, all new construc-
tion on campus must meet LEED
standards.
Campus Arboretum
With 7,000 trees and native and
low-water use plants, the UA is
home to the oldest continually
maintained green space in Arizona.
As part of the UA’s outreach mis-
sion, Schrader said he hopes the
Sustainability Walking Tour will
help open the University to the
public in a new way, allowing com-
munity members to explore cam-
pus features they once may have
overlooked.
Finally, it’s worth noting what
makes this tour particularly eco-
friendly: It’s completely powered
by your feet.

Coordinated Care for Kids
The PANDA
Children’s
Neurological Center
will be the only
outpatient
pediatric center in
Southern Arizona
dedicated to
helping children
with neurological
problems. Syd Clark-Yawitz, 5, is one of the millions of children in the U.S. struggling with a neurological disorder.
S yd Clark-Yawitz is an energetic
and exuberant 5-year-old who
loves to play basketball, swim, read
books and listen to classical music.
Adopted by his parents through
foster care, Syd was born with neu-
rological issues that have resulted
in behavioral problems.
Syd is just one of the millions of
children in the U.S. struggling with
a neurological disorder. Complex
and often difficult to treat, neuro-
logical problems in children can
be very frustrating for families.
Typically, the children need to be
seen by a variety of specialists and
therapists. Care is often difficult to
find, challenging to coordinate and
incredibly wearisome to parents
already overwhelmed by the issues
confronting the child.
“When we moved to Tucson, it
was very difficult to get an appoint-
ment with a specialist,” says Den-
nis Yawitz, Syd’s father. “Having a
child who desperately needs help
quickly, and not being able to get
it, is horrible – you feel like you are
letting your child down.”
Hope is on the horizon. As a
result of the fundraising efforts of
The University of Arizona’s Steele
Children’s Research Center volun-
teer group PANDA (People Acting
Now Discover Answers), Tucson
will soon have an outpatient pe-
diatric center devoted to helping
children with neurologi-
cal problems. Currently,
no such facility exists in
Southern Arizona. Nearly
$1million was raised from
this year’s annual PANDA
“Children Helping Chil-
dren,” fashion show in
Phoenix. Approximately
$2 million more will be raised to
complete the facility, which will be
located within University Medical
Center.
Scheduled to be completed in

about a year, the new facility – the
PANDA Children’s Neurological
Center – will treat children suffer-
ing from neurological conditions
such as traumatic brain injury,
stroke, cerebral palsy, epilepsy and
autism, to name a few.
The center will employ multi-
disciplinary teams of pediatric
specialists and therapists work-
ing together to evaluate, diagnose
and develop specialized treatment
plans for each patient. Specialists
include neurologists, developmen-
tal pediatricians, psychologists,
psychiatrists, neonatologists, epi-
leptologist (doctors who specialize
in the treatment of epilepsy), and
speech, occupational and physical
therapists.
“Right now, countless children
in Tucson and Southern Arizona
with neurological problems are not
receiving many of the subspecialty
services they need, because we
don’t have centers to provide this
coordinated care,” says Syd’s pedi-
atric developmental physician, Dr.

Sydney Rice, assistant professor
of developmental and behavioral
pediatrics in the UA department of

“Children with neurological con-

to have all of the specialists in one
outpatient location, working as a
team to help these children,” Rice
says.
started getting better,” recalls
Yawitz. “She arranged for occupa-
tional therapy as well as a consul-
tation with a behavioral specialist,
who was fantastic. Everything is
looking up now, but if all of the
services had been available in one
location, it would have been much
less stressful.”
The center’s connection to the
Steele Center will make it unique
within Arizona, as well. “The Steele
Center’s ability to conduct re-
search allows us to discover new
treatments, and move into the clini-
cal arena with them,” says pediat-
ric intensivist Dr. Andreas Theodor-
ou, a professor of pediatrics. “This
will enable the Steele Center to
recruit those experts who provide
clinical care and conduct research
to provide this much needed care
for our patients.”
“Tucson desperately needs this
center, and the PANDAs are a bless-
ing for all the money they raised
for the UA Steele Center to make
the neurological facility a reality,”
Yawitz says. “It will be an asset to
the entire community.”
