AAS Homolovi Stabilization Project Scope of Work

Due to State budget issues, Homol'ovi Ruins State Park, created in 1986 to preserve four ancestral Hopi villages, has been closed. Having concern there may not be any future maintenance done on the exposed structures; Ron Robinson, Chair, Arizona Archaeological Society (AAS) suggested in a meeting at Homolovi on March 18 that perhaps the AAS could organize a stabilization team to help preserve the ruins, utilizing members with recognized expertise and experience in this type of work. (In attendance was Charles Adams, PhD, Arizona State Museum. University of Arizona (ASM/UA); Michael Freisinger, Arizona State Parks, Phoenix; Karen Berggren, Manager, Homol'ovi Ruins State Park; Nicole Armstrong-Best, Arizona State Parks, volunteer coordinator, and other state parks employees).

因州财政预算问题，1986年为保护四座霍皮人先祖村落而设立的霍莫洛维废墟州立公园（Homol'ovi Ruins State Park）现已闭园。鉴于外界担忧未来或无法对裸露的遗址建筑开展维护工作，亚利桑那考古学会（Arizona Archaeological Society, AAS）主席罗恩·罗宾逊（Ron Robinson）于3月18日在霍莫洛维遗址召开的会议中提议，可由AAS组建一支遗址加固团队，依托该领域具备公认专业能力与实操经验的会员力量，助力遗址保护工作。本次出席会议的人员包括：亚利桑那大学（University of Arizona）亚利桑那州立博物馆（Arizona State Museum, ASM/UA）的查尔斯·亚当斯博士（Charles Adams, PhD）、凤凰城亚利桑那州立公园的迈克尔·弗赖辛格（Michael Freisinger）、霍莫洛维废墟州立公园经理卡伦·贝格伦（Karen Berggren）、亚利桑那州立公园志愿协调员妮可·阿姆斯特朗-贝斯特（Nicole Armstrong-Best），以及其他州立公园工作人员。
