(Phoenix, AZ - January 8, 2010) - For the entire month of March 2010, the Arizona State Parks' State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is coordinating activities throughout the state for the 27th anniversary celebration of Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month. A free statewide listing of events will be available in February 2010 and can be obtained by contacting the Arizona State Parks offices at (602) 542-4174, or by visiting AZStateParks.com.
These events will focus on current efforts to preserve our past by protecting our fragile and non-renewable cultural resources. Museums, historical societies, tribes, agencies, parks, and archaeology organizations will be hosting events across the state.
