Join San Diego Botanic Garden for a unique opportunity to learn about two countries often covered in the news, but not always well understood. Ukraine and Armenia are known not only for their fascinating histories and complex present-day realities, but also for their spectacular landscapes and exotic flora. This event welcomes an impressive roster of presenters from both regions, including the directors from Lviv Botanical Garden in Ukraine and Yerevan Botanical Garden in Armenia. Each will introduce their country’s unique profile, and showcase photos and descriptions of the native flora and related environmental challenges they are faced with. They will also discuss the key roles of their gardens in preserving biodiversity and delivering public education programs, and will highlight an exciting collaboration with U.S. colleagues currently underway.

This presentation discusses the results of archaeological studies within the western Colorado Desert of Southern California over the past 100 years. The region represents the traditional lands of the Cahuilla, Kumeyaay (Ipai and Tipai), and Kwaaymii. Malcolm Rogers worked in the western Colorado Desert during the 1920s and 1930s and made important observations about pictographs, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, cleared circles, trails, house remains, and other cultural remains throughout the region. A summation of results and a commentary of the major excavation projects in the study area from the 1950s through the 2000s are also offered, as well as the results of certain site survey projects. Michael Sampson’s observations about site survey data within this region will consist primarily of the cleared circle sites and similar sites, as well as certain occupation sites and food processing sites.
