Scott Wood knows a little something about Arizona’s past.
Until recently, Wood was an archaeologist for the Tonto National Forest, a position he held for 40 years.
Wood hasn’t given up his work, however.
This weekend, Wood came to Camp Verde to teach a six-hour class about some of the pre-Columbian pottery found on the forest.
Wood wrote the book on it. Well, he wrote a book, one that is fairly comprehensive — “Checklist of Pottery Types for Tonto National Forest.”
Wood was the center of attention in a back room at the Verde Valley Archaeology Center on Main Street in Camp Verde.
“He’s an expert in pottery,” said Bud Henderson, director of the center.
