Petroglyph Recording Coordinator, Web Manager
Candie Borduin

  In 1999, Katherine Wells moved ahead with the goal of protecting the petroglyphs on Mesa Prieta and developing educational programs in the community by founding the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project.  Eager to participate, Candie and her husband Lee, attended the first Petroglyph Recorder Training at Katherine's home in Lyden and have been active with the program in many capacities ever since.

    Candie serves as Volunteer Petroglyph Recording Coordinator and supports the recording and survey teams.  After working on Mesa Prieta for over 22 years, she knows the terrain and access routes on the mesa quite well.  She assigns recording teams to areas to work on Mesa Prieta based on their ability to manage difficult terrain.  Candie supports them in their work, provides on-site training when needed, manages supply needs and receives and processes the incoming data before turning the material over to Project Contractor Janet MacKenzie for data base entry. In 2014, Candie was recognized with a New Mexico Heritage Preservation Award for her work with recorders on Mesa Prieta and in 2017, was recognized by the New Mexico Archaeological Society with a Bice Award for Archaeological Achievement reading:  "For her many years of dedicated service to the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project as a Board Member, docent, webmaster and Petroglyph Recording Coordinator of volunteers,  rock art recorders and site stewards.  Ms. Borduin's work has been instrumental in recording over 50,000 petroglyphs and in the design of a GIS linked data base that contains the recorded rock art on the mesa."
In 2024, she and her husband and partner on the mesa, Lee, received another Heritage Preservation Award for Individual Achievement recognizing the 22 years of volunteer effort with MPPP.  ​

     Candie and Lee enjoy traveling and camping around the west.  Their interest in archaeology started in the 70s when they started visiting sites in the southwest.  They have been Site Stewards with Santa Fe National Forest since 2000.
