Archaeology Southwest (ASW) practices Preservation Archaeology, a holistic and conservation-based approach to exploring and protecting heritage places while honoring their diverse value.

"The donor wall embodies Archaeology Southwest’s mission by visually connecting donors to the cultural landscapes and sites they are helping to protect. The donor wall design is influenced by Adriel Heisey’s aerial photography and archaeological site imagery. The intricate tile work not only serves as donor recognition but also as a meaningful reflection of ASW’s conservation efforts."
