SHIPLEY-COOK GROVE ATTAINS HERITAGE TREE STATUS, OCT. 5
 
On a Century Farm outside Lake Oswego, two owners planted a variety of
trees recently attained Oregon Heritage Tree status. The Oregon Heritage
Tree Committee, Oregon Travel Experience, and special presenters from
Clackamas County will present a plaque and dedicate the Shipley-Cook
Heritage Grove at 1 p.m., Oct. 5 at Stevens Meadows on Shipley Drive in
Lake Oswego.
 
Established by Adam R. Shipley in 1862, the grove surrounding the farm
house exemplifies early settlers planting trees from their home state.
The amazing variety of trees include shagbark hickory, mulberry,
filbert, big leaf maple, Pacific yew, Pacific madrone, Port Orford
cedar, black locust, copper beech, magnolia, and many more. James P.
Cook purchased the farm from the Shipleys in 1900 and the Cook family
has served as stewards of this impressive grove since then.

MNCH TO HOST ARCHAEOLOGY LECTURE SERIES BEGINNING OCT. 5
 
The Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) at the University of
Oregon will host an annual Archaeology Lecture Series at 5:30 p.m.,
Friday evenings beginning Oct. 5 in room 175 at Knight Law School.  The
annual event, which takes place in conjunction with the 2012 Oregon
Archaeology Celebration, includes lectures by Jon Erlandson, MNCH
executive director; Scott Fitzpatrick, Professor of Anthropology, UO;
and Anna Roosevelt, Professor of Anthropology, University of Chicago.
 
Erlandson kicks off the series with “Connecting the Dots: Coastlines,
Crescents, the Pacific Flyway, and the Peopling of the Americas”. This
illustrated lecture presents new ideas and evidence about early stone
tools along the Pacific Rim and provokes new understanding on the
colonization of the Americas, the evolution of the Pacific Flyway, and
connections between Paleoindians of the Great Basin and California's
Channel Islands.
 
On Oct. 12 Fitzpatrick will present “Archaeology in Palau, Micronesia:
3000 years of Life and Death in the Chelechol ra Orrak Rockshelter”,
about an island used for human burials, as a campsite, and as a quarry
for stone money. Fitzpatrick brings together a variety of evidence to
illuminate the story of continuity and change over time.
 
Roosevelt’s lecture, titled “New Light on the Peopling of South America”
helps uncover the origins of the first people to settle South America.
Her lecture discusses the implications of new archaeological evidence
and the latest analysis of previously known sites.
 
All lectures will be available as podcasts on the MNCH website. Visit
