As part of Oregon Archaeology
Month activities, The Museum at
Warm Springs hosts a public lecture
on an extensive project, which docu
ments petroglyphs and pictographs.
The presentation by James W.
Henderson provides a rare glimpse
into symbols and images seldom seen
so clearly. Pictograph and
petroglyphs paintings come alive
through combined polarized light
photography and cutting edge digital
enhancement. The Henderson Cross
Polarized Enhancement Procedure
reveals multiple layers of pigment on
porous surfaces providing unparal
leled detail of ancient pigments. The
process and Mr. Henderson's two
years of documentation reveal much
of the Confederated Tribes of Warm
Spring pictorial legacy on their ceded
lands. These are hybrid images re
vealed through the photographic and
scientific processes and provide rich
detail. The program shows a substan
tial assemblage of color images and
Henderson's joys and trials in docu
menting them.
The research project and lec
ture have been made possible by a
generous grant from the Meyer Me
morial Trust. The presentation is Sun
day, October 8, 1 :00 p.m. at The
Museum at Warm Springs, 2189
Highway 26, Warm Springs. Attend
ees from the Portland area are invited
