The ancient peoples of the Southwest made use of a wide range of lithic and mineral resources, some of which were available locally to most communities, and others that could only be obtained through long- distance acquisition from limited and specific locations. The materials discussed here— clay, temper, and mineral pigments (including lead) used to make pottery, as well as tool stone, salt, and turquoise— range from those used for routine tasks on a daily basis to those more closely associated with ritual action. Their acquisition often required ritual preparation, prayers, and special trips to named places, many of which are part of the fabric of oral traditions and have shaped enduring cultural landscapes. For each of these materials, we briefly discuss their distribution, archaeological traces, analytical characterization, and means of sourcing. Tracing the movement of these resources across ancient landscapes has formed the basis of regional models of social, political, and economic interaction in Southwest archaeology. Pottery

This presentation will include an extensive review of literature of Conflict Minerals, particularly situations occurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Conflict minerals, as defined by Salem Press Encyclopedia are raw minerals that derive from areas of armed conflict. The presentation will examine the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, conflict minerals and its intersection with militant groups and the recovery process. We seek to portray historical events that led to this conflict and discuss current initiatives to combat this important social issue. Our goal is to raise awareness of the far reaching impact of this conflict on the Congolese people and other nations. We also aim to educate about ways to affect change.
