Foreword PRIMITIVE CURIOSITY

On one particular visit to the site with Bob, I busied myself collecting rosehips and grasses to decorate a Thanksgiving dinner table. I watched him wandering about on the sandy basin with his keen eyes poised in search of prehistoric artifacts. I am awed at the sight of the horses drifting towards him, hovering around his crouched form, nudging him with curiosity, questioning his intensity in pursuit of knowledge of an ancient culture.

From my place by the fence, watching, I too am caught and held for a moment in the aura of a more primitive and thoughtful time.

I have had the privilege of feeling, firsthand, the author’s passionate attachment to the site; an attachment that goes far beyond the search for “bits” but is truly, like poetry, an affair of the soul.
