12	Herman E. Bender	Unlike dams or any other modern structure built by man as a temporary convenience or solution, great art whether ancient or new is not a 'renewable resource' which can be recycled or recreated. More planning needs to be implemented on projects when the destruction of human thought, i.e. art and especially ancient art, is deemed expendable in the name of projects which have a finite lifetime of useful service measured in mere centuries, not millennia. Let us think of the board first cut too short to use and, no matter how many times it is recut, it will still be too short. Will the destruction of this ancient rock, for what are at best temporary 'fixes', justify the same logic or argument of denying the mistake of the board cut too short because of poor planning by knowingly repeating the mistake? It is best to get the true measure and worth of the project before beginning irreversible actions which are typically regretted in hindsight. Once the artwork is destroyed, it is gone, cut too short, forever	Mid-America Geographic Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 722, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, U.S.A. 54935

172	Luiz Oosterbeek	There are moments in life where we have to choose. I understand the dam will be built, but this is no reason to fill it in straight away. I hope the portuguese governement, who was so brave in the Coa issue, will understand the enourmous importance of the Guadiana rock art and archaeology, and will concede at least one more year for an open and international intensive survey. Every day of field work reveals unantended new discoveries. Who may believe that within a few months "all" will be recorded? Our colleagues working in the Guadiana, both in Portugal and Spain, work very hard, and deserve all our respect, but they are no super heroes. International support must be given. Meanwhile, I have to choose, and I choose to stand in the side of the heritage, and not the one of silence.	Tomar	Portugal
173	Will Schaleben	I just returned from recording some of the many glyph sites that are going to be submerged along the Guadiana River. The glyphs are fantastic, intriguing and inspirating. It's impossible to believe that the sites were not discovered years ago by the contract archaeologists who supposedly surveyed the impact zone. Many panels are in plain view near the river. It is a vast and wonderful corpus of pristine images. To lose this to a questionable dam project that may produce almost no real benefits to the people of the Alqueva region is disgraceful. Nonetheless, the dam is going ahead without regard to the rock art. Unless officials come to their senses and stop this project now, the Guadiana prehistoric treasure willl be lost forever. Once again, an important piece of our mysterious cultural heritage will be stolen by mindless developers and short-sighted politicians. There is still a little time left to reverse course and avoid this disaster, if we all work together. Spread the word ASAP; turn up the pressure!	USA

192	Isaac C. Eastvold	The Cochiti Dam on the Rio Grande River and Navajo Reservoir on the San Juan River, both in New Mexico, USA, are near my home. Both have destroyed many petroglyphs and pictographs which were sacred to the Pueblo and Navajo Indian tribes here. These dams, as a result, are open wounds in our consciences, and have diminished the archaeological and religious legacy of the Americas. The same thing will result if the Alqueva Dam is constructed. The famous Elizabethan English poet, John Donne, wrote, "No man is an island unto himself. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." In other words, the loss of this ancient legacy of spiritual images is a wound we all bear. It is a loss not just to the Pueblo or Navajo Indians, the people of Portugal, or even the entire European Union. It is a diminution of the spiritual heritage of all mankind, regardless of race, color, or culture. Think of these serious matters. These losses are like amputations to the world body. re near my home near my home	5501 Mountain Road, NE	Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA 87110
