SUMMARY:Cities of Gold: A Journey Across the American Southwest - Douglas Preston
DESCRIPTION:Doug Preston and Walter Nelson rode cross country\, not following modern roads or trails\, sleeping ‘in the saddle’ and enduring some of the harshest deserts and roughest mountain terrain in the United States. Forced to battle extremes of heat and cold\, impenetrable mesquite thickets\, bad water\, rattlesnakes\, flash floods and paralyzing drought\, they nonetheless found the country awesome in its scale and beauty\, with much of it so untouched that It was still recognizable from descriptions in Coronado’s reports. Their exploration led to useful information regarding the route used by Coronado to find the Seven Cities of Gold. \nDouglas Preston \n\n\n \nDouglas Preston is a prolific American author born in 1956\, best known for co-authoring the Pendergast series with Lincoln Child and for his solo works of both fiction and nonfiction. A graduate of Pomona College\, he worked at the American Museum of Natural History and taught at Princeton University before becoming a full-time writer. He contributes to publications like The New Yorker and National Geographic\, and is the author of numerous bestselling books\, including The Lost City of the Monkey God.   \n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is sponsored jointly by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation – Friends of Archaeology and the Santa Fe Archaeological Society. \nTickets may be purchased only on-line at: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/cc/friends-of-archaeology-1377539 \nTickets cannot be purchased at the door.

SUMMARY:The Coronado Expedition: The New Evidence - Deni Seymour
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Deni Seymour will talk about her work over the last few years during which she and her team discovered 17 sites left behind in southern Arizona by the Coronado Expedition of 1539-1542. The discovery of a Spanish townsite\, overnight camps\, and travel routes have revolutionized our understanding of the expedition – where they went\, how they were organized\, weapons they carried and what they did. Equally important are the insights gained into the Native Nations that lived in the area and interacted with the Spanish. \n  \nBiography \nDeni Seymour\, Ph.D. is an archaeologist and ethnohistorian whose 45-years of research have focused on the Spanish colonial period in the American Southwest\, emphasizing Native peoples at first contact (O’odham\, Apache\, Jacome\, and Manso)\, presidios\, missions/vistas\, and trails (Coronado\, Camino Real\, Anza\, etc.). She has focused intensively on the 1539-1542 Coronado expedition\, identifying more Coronado expedition sites in Arizona than all others known throughout the Southwest\, extending the trail from Nogales to the Gila River. She has published nine peer-reviewed articles on her expedition-related discoveries\, and a documentary film that is available on PBS entitled\, Coronado: The New Evidence. \nThis program is sponsored jointly by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation – Friends of Archaeology and the Santa Fe Archaeological Society. \nTickets may be purchased only on-line at: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/cc/friends-of-archaeology-1377539 \nTickets cannot be purchased at the door.

SUMMARY:The Problem of Distinguishing the Coronado Expedition's Multiple Routes Across Southeastern Arizona - Richard and Shirley Flint
DESCRIPTION:There has been recent reporting of the discovery of what appear to be traces of sixteenth-century European presence in extreme south-central and southeastern Arizona. As a result\, assertions have been made that those traces are indications of an outpost of the Coronado Expedition\, called Suya in the surviving documentary record and San Gerónimo III by many modern scholars. Re-examination of sixteenth-century written records\, however\, shows that identification of that particular archaeological site as Suya is far from the only possibility. There are a total of at least eighteen known expeditionary episodes dating from the sixteenth century that could have left behind part or all of the material traces that have to date been identified in southern Arizona. The small\, short-term occupation of Suya was dwarfed by the passage of the whole expeditionary force. Yet the current investigation claims to have located multiple sites associated with the minor Suya event and none linked to the vastly larger full expedition or any of its other sub-units. The evidence for Suya is thin\, mostly conjectural\, and not distinguishable from other events of the expedition. \nBiography \nThe Flints are a collaborative team of Independent Scholars with major focus on archival research and publication on the early to middle sixteenth century in the U.S. Southwest and Northwest Mexico. Their special interest for 40+ years has been on the Coronado entrada of 1539-1542 and related activities both before and after. They are widely considered to be the foremost authorities on that subject. They have published nine books and dozens of journal article dealing with the sixteenth-century collision between Indigenous Americans and Europeans. In collaboration with the UNM Libraries\, the Flints have produced an extensive online data base of information about participants\, organizers\, and supporters of that entrada: coronado.unm.edu. \nThis program is sponsored jointly by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation – Friends of Archaeology and the Santa Fe Archaeological Society. \nA $15.00 fee will be charged for members\, and a $20.00 fee will be charged for non-members.  Thes program will also be live streamed for any interested participant at a cost of $10.00. \nPlease check back for pending ticket sales information.

SUMMARY:Linda Cordell and Her Many Contributions to Southwest Archaeology - Dr. Maxine McBrinn and Dr. Judith Habicht Mauche
DESCRIPTION:Linda Cordell was extraordinarily active in southwestern archaeology during\nher entire career. She augmented her own robust research by also investing\nher resources in the work of others. Because of this\, her influence extended\nwell beyond her own students to those of many of her colleagues. One of her\nlast personal endeavors was working with the Tijeras Pueblo Ceramics\nProject. Examples of her prodigious influence on archaeological research will\nbe presented. \nBiography \nJudith A. Habicht-Mauche is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where she has been a member of the faculty since 1990. Prof. Habicht-Mauche’s research interests include the study of the technology\, organization of production and exchange of ancient pottery from the American Southwest and Southern Plains. She is an expert in the archaeological application of mineralogical\, chemical\, and isotopic techniques for sourcing artifacts and reconstructing ancient trade routes and patterns of cross-cultural interaction. She earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology from Harvard University in 1988. Her doctoral research on interaction between Pueblo farmers of the Southwest and bison-hunting nomads of the Southern Plains won the Plains Anthropological Society Student Paper Competition and was awarded the Society for American Archaeology Dissertation Prize. \nMaxine McBrinn is the former Curator of Archaeology at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe\, NM and an independent researcher. She is a Research Associate of the Office of Archaeological Studies\, also in Santa Fe. Dr. McBrinn earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology at the University of Colorado\, Boulder and also has a B.S. and a M.A. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin. She has worked in a curatorial role at a number of museums\, including the Field Museum in Chicago and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS). Much of her DMNS research\, conducted with Dr. E. James Dixon\, focused on the Lamb Spring site. In addition\, Maxine has conducted field research in Wyoming\, Colorado\, Texas\, and New Mexico. Her research focus is on hunters and gatherers\, social identity\, and the transition to early agriculture. A technical specialty is archaeological textiles and basketry. \nA 10.00 fee is requested at the door for non-members.

SUMMARY:10\,000 years of Oaxaca Cuisines from Mesquite Pods to Mezcal - Dr. Shanti Morrell-Hart (Brown University)
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Oaxacan cuisine holds iconic status\, in a nation already\nknown—and even celebrated in UNESCO’s List of Intangible Heritage—for\ngastronomy. Countless festivals each year are devoted to individual\ningredients and special preparations\, including chapulines\, enchilados\,\nmezcal\, quesillo\, tejate\, and at least seven moles. Though the origins of\nspecific recipes may be disputed\, archaeological investigations have managed\nto reveal a suite of culinary elements and activities through various methods\nand proxies. From early domesticates in the Archaic period\, to seed banks in\nthe Postclassic period\, we see how food ingredients were hunted\, cultivated\,\ntithed\, and hidden away for protection. They were also inherited\, treasured\,\nremembered—and sometimes forgotten. \nBiography \nShanti Morell-Hart is an anthropological archaeologist and paleo ethnobotanist with a focus on ancient societies in Mesoamerica. Her published research tracks the origins and impacts of agriculture in the development of societies\, contributions of plants to ritualized activity and healthcare\, the range and diversity of quotidian botanical practices\, and transformations in human-environment relationships\, especially as related to narratives of collapse and resilience. Her teaching and supervisory interests include: foodways\, ethnoecology\, paleoethnobotanical analysis\, spatial analysis\, Mesoamerican societies\, ancient history\, and gastronomic heritage. She currently serves as Director of the Integrated Laboratory for Archaeological Sciences (ILAS) and the Paleoethnobotany Laboratory at Brown (PEBLAB). \nThere is no entry fee for this Lecture

SUMMARY:Cahokia versus Chaco: Indigenous Urbanism as Viewed from the Mississippi Valley - Dr. Timothy Pauketat (School for Advanced Research)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Cahokia—an indigenous city opposite modern-day St.\nLouis—is assisted by comparing it to Chaco. Both developed at about the\nsame time\, with major cultural and political shifts at both dated to ~1040 CE.\nCahokia\, however\, appears more similar in layout to civic-ceremonial centers\nto the south in the Mississippi valley and Mexico\, with great mounds\,\nspacious plazas\, and palatial pole-and-thatch buildings. Both appear to have\nbegun with prominent lineages or clans already in place\, and the human\npopulations of both migrated out during the 12th century’s droughts. \nBiography \nDr. Pauketat is an archaeologist interested in the broad relationships between history and humanity\, materiality and agency\, affect and ontology\, and religion and urbanism. His focus is on North America\, and his concerns range from local historical ones\, particularly in the central Mississippi valley\, to Pan-American and big-historical ones\, especially as they involve Mesoamerican-Southwestern-Mississippi valley connections. He has conducted most of his field research at and around the American Indian city of Cahokia or related complexes\, having held posts at the University of Oklahoma\, the State University of New York (Buffalo) and the University of Illinois. \nHis general research interests are materiality\, affect and agency; religion and ontologies; cities and landscapes; global medievalism; climate change; North American archaeology; Woodland and Mississippian cultures; indigenous Prairie-Plains history; pottery. \nA $10.00 fee at the door is requested for non-members

SUMMARY:11th Century Turkey Management in the Mimbres Valley - Sean Dolan
DESCRIPTION:For nearly two millennia\, people in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest have maintained a significant relationship with turkeys\, a bird they domesticated for their feathers\, meat\, and other resources. Recent archaeological studies reveal diverse regional and temporal patterns in turkey management\, but how and why did people in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from CE 1000-1130 manage and interact with these birds? In this presentation\, Sean Dolan incorporates Mimbres pottery iconography\, bone isotope analysis\, and ancient DNA to explore the role and treatment of turkeys in this region. \nBiography \nSean Dolan grew up in Pennsylvania\, where he majored in history and anthropology at Penn State University. He received his Master’s in anthropology from New Mexico State University and PhD in anthropology from the University of Oklahoma. He is a Registered Professional Archaeologist and has managed cultural resources at Los Alamos National Laboratory since 2014. He is the author of several journal articles on obsidian procurement and stone tool technology in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest\, as well as how people in the Mimbres Valley managed turkeys. \n

SUMMARY:Archaeology and the Tibetan/Himalayan Afterlife - Mark Aldenderfer
DESCRIPTION:Although historians and Tibetologists since the early 20th C have collected and interpreted religious documents describing in general terms rituals of death and safe passage to the afterlife among the early peoples of the Himalayas\, the archaeological record offered little insight into them. But recent research by archaeologists across the region have made extraordinary discoveries that both challenge and corroborate current understandings as well as identifying previously unknown traditions for both commoners and kings. \nMark Aldenderfer \nAldenderfer joined the UC Merced campus in 2010\, becoming dean of the School of Social Sciences\, Humanities and Arts. He is best known for his comparative interdisciplinary studies of high-elevation adaptation from an archaeological perspective. \nHis many achievements also include recent archaeological research in Tibet and Nepal and serving as editor of Current Anthropology\, one of the field’s most prestigious academic journals. A native of Ohio\, Aldenderfer was a faculty member at the University of Arizona and UC Santa Barbara before UC Merced. \nAldenderfer was one of UC Merced’s first two professors to be named a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur chair. \nAldenderfer\, who officially departed UC Merced on July 1\, is transitioning his life and work to Santa Fe\, N.M.\, where he will continue his lifelong exploration of how the ancient past continues to shape the world’s future.

SUMMARY:Beneath an Ancient Neighborhood: Archaeology and History in the Barrio de Analco\, Santa Fe - Stephen Post
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor more than 900 years\, humans have left their mark on the neighborhood on the south side of the Santa Fe River known as Barrio de Analco. Within the Barrio de Analco\, conclusive physical evidence of its past residents often has been difficult to uncover. The vague traces left by Ancestral Puebloan\, Hispano\, Mestizo\, Indio\, Genízaro\, and Anglo peoples offer fleeting glimpses of the past. The physical context of these traces can be compared to mixing a layer cake in a blender and then spreading the result across the land. While well intended\, studies of this jumbled landscape\, most of them mandated by City ordinances\, have been insufficient in scope to yield substantive new information. This talk will highlight a few exceptional studies\, including recent research at the Boyle House located at 327 E. De Vargas St. These studies shed light on the customs\, relationships\, and identities of those who once lived in the ancient location known to modern Pueblo people as O’gha Po’oghe and Santa Fe’s non-Indigenous residents as El Barrio de Analco. \nBiography \nStephen Post’s career in New Mexico archaeology began in 1976. Working for the Department of Cultural Affairs-Office of Archaeological Studies until 2011\, his experiences encompassed 12\,000 years of New Mexico’s rich past. He directed excavations for the New Mexico History Museum and the Santa Fe Community Convention Center finding remnants of residential\, ritual\, military\, and governmental buildings and facilities left by 1500 years of Ancestral Puebloan\, Spanish\, Mexican\, and American peoples. Authoring almost 200 archaeological reports on the Santa Fe area\, he has a broad understanding of traces left by 7\,000 years of Santa Fe’s permanent and part-time residents. The buried past of Barrio de Analco is one of many intriguing stories that fuels his fascination with Santa Fe’s cultural heritage.

SUMMARY:The Archaeology of Prostitution and Clandestine Pursuits - Donna Seifert
DESCRIPTION:Case studies from various nineteenth-century sites where material culture reveals evidence of prostitution\, including a brothel in Five Points—New York City’s most notorious neighborhood—and parlor houses a few blocks from the White House and Capitol Hill. lso Brothels in the American West are also looked at—in urban Los Angeles and in frontier sites and mining camps in Sandpoint\, Idaho; Prescott\, Arizona; and Fargo\, North Dakota. The artifact assemblages found at these sites often contradict written records\, allowing archaeologists to construct a more realistic and complicated picture of daily life for working-class women involved in commercial sex. \nDonna Seifert  \nDonna J. Seifert is an independent scholar\, who spent most of her career working in historic preservation and cultural resources management. She maintains her registration in the Register of Professional Archaeologists. \nShe earned a bachelor’s degree from Lawrence University and a Master’s degree and a PhD in anthropology from the University of Iowa. She served on the board of the Society for American Archaeology and the board of the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Her service to the Society of Historical Archaeology includes a term on the board and as president\, as well as several years as associate editor of the society’s journal\, Historical Archaeology. \nHer research focus is the archaeology of the historic period in Central Mexico\, the Mid-Atlantic states\, and northern New Mexico. Special interests include urban households and neighborhoods; the role of ceramics in understanding household composition and status; and brothels and prostitution. She served as co-author\, with Rebecca Yamin\, of The Archaeology of Prostitution and Clandestine Pursuits (2019\, University Press of Florida).

SUMMARY:Archaeology and Conservation: The Tombs at Río Azul\, a treasure in northeast Guatemala - LIWY GRAZIOSO SIERRA
DESCRIPTION:Río Azul is an ancient Maya city located in NE Peten in Guatemala. In the late 70’s the site was heavy looted and artifacts were being sold at the auction market around the world. In the 80’s an Archaeological Project took place and they documented all the looter’s excavations and the tombs they have emptied\, most of them have beautiful mural painting. The site gained notoriety and became quite famous. At the end of the project\, they were closed for protection and with time they got forgotten. In the late 90’s they were opened to take pictures to promote tourism and they became a target destination and tourists insisted on going in although the site wasn’t open to the public and have no conditions to handle visitors. At that time there was no control and no protection\, people went in and out without care and with time the murals were severely damaged. \nIt was until 2003\, when we visited Río Azul\, looking for the possibility to start anew research project in the area\, that we found out the tombs were opened and after seeing their condition it was clear we must do something about it. \nTherefore\, in 2004 during PABA’s first season (PABA = Proyecto Arqueológico del Bajo Azúcar/Bajo Azucar Archaeological Project) we evaluated the condition of the site to propose a conservation program and we created PITRA (Programa de Intervenciones de las Tumbas de Río Azul/Tomb’s Intervention Programme at Río Azul). We raised the fundings to start dealing with the site’s deterioration. and we began to sanitize them\, free them from the disturbing fauna that have made the tombs their home and make the chambers and features stable. We\ndid restoration work for several seasons combining research with conservation and in the process we ran into many interesting features that were not seen before\, it allowed us to know more about their construction techniques. \nAll the Río Azul tombs are different and most of them have beautiful paintings with very interesting iconography. We will present the work we have done in 3 of the tombs\, how they were constructed\, its mural paintings and special features. We must be aware that cultural heritage is a nonrenewable resource\, once it’s destroyed it’s lost forever\, and we must take responsibility and try to protect and\npreserve cultural heritage for generations to come. \nLIWY GRAZIOSO SIERRA \nCurrent Director and Curator of Museo Miraflores in Guatemala City and Professor of Maya Archaeology and Iconography at San Carlos University\, Guatemala. \nGot her degree in Archaeology at the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) Mexico\, Master in Mesoamerican Studies by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. \nFormer coordinator of the Restructuring Project of the National Museum of Anthropology MNA-INAH\, in Mexico City (1997-2000).

SUMMARY:EVENT DELAYED UNTIL NEXT SEASON Ancient Sky-watchers – Archeoastronomy in New Mexico and the Southwest - James (Jim) Wysong\, Ed.D.
DESCRIPTION:Since prehistory\, our ancestors have employed the sky as a clock\, calendar\, and a means for navigation and surveying.  Mesoamerican cultures developed sophisticated and systematic practices of astronomical observations and measurement.  Evidence suggests that the native people of the American Southwest were influenced by these neighboring cultures and incorporated some of this knowledge into their own astronomical practices.  This talk will discuss evidence of the astronomical traditions of the indigenous cultures of the Southwest\, including the Ancestral Puebloans\, as well as the subsequent Puebloan cultures and the Southern Athabaskans. \nDr. James (Jim) Wysong \nDr. James (Jim) Wysong is the Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Arts and Design at Santa Fe Community College\, in Santa Fe\, New Mexico.  Dr. Wysong was a geosciences professor for twenty-five years before taking an administrative appointment.  He was first introduced to Archeoastronomy at the University of South Florida by the late Robert Fuson\, Ph.D.\, one of the founders of the discipline. Later\, he participated in field work in the Yucatan and Central America with the late Ralph Robert Robbins\, Jr.\, Ph.D.\, of the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Wysong is an experienced pilot\, photographer\, and lover of New Mexico’s natural and cultural history.

SUMMARY:The Ripple Effect of Imperialism – Understanding Foodways\, Community and Identity on the Margins of an Empire - Laura Steele
DESCRIPTION:Imperialism has a dramatic impact on the lives of directly colonized and subjected peoples. Scholars have demonstrated that this impact takes a variety of forms depending on the proximity of the imperial center\, imperial goals\, the surrounding geography\, and abundance of natural resources\, among other factors. Limited research has focused on how Indigenous peoples on the borders of empires responded to imperial processes. Laura’s talk explores the effects of imperialism on Indigenous peoples living along the frontier of the Spanish expansion in what is known as west-central Argentina. Her research focuses on Indigenous identity and uses food as a proxy for identity to investigate how Indigenous peoples adapted to\, resisted\, and/or benefitted from imperial expansion in this region. She analyzes animal bone material to reconstruct Indigenous foodways through time and document shifts in meal preparation. She also uses radiocarbon dating to construct a timeline of events in this region. Her work contributes to ongoing research related to the impact of imperialism on marginalized groups in the past and how this contributes to current events. \nLaura Steele \nOriginally from the Mojave Desert of southern California\, Laura Ward Steele is a PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico. She received her BS from California State Polytechnic University\, Pomona\, and her MA from Eastern New Mexico University. Laura has worked as an archaeologist in Arizona\, California\, Colorado\, New Mexico\, and in Mendoza province\, Argentina. She is currently a faunal analyst for Parametrix\, Inc.\, an adjunct instructor at Laramie County Community College in Laramie\, Wyoming\, and a graduate assistant in the Anthropology Department at the University of New Mexico. Also\, Laura recently completed working with a research team at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation surveying homeless and housing insecure youth across southern and eastern New Mexico. \nLaura’s dissertation research at the University of New Mexico explores how imperialism impacted Indigenous peoples who lived on the southern borders of both the Incan and Spanish empires in what is known today as west-central Argentina. Her project examines the ongoing effects of imperialism on Indigenous peoples living in this region. She investigates how these Indigenous peoples responded to\, resisted\, and/or benefited from the imperial expansion that began in the mid-1550s. Moreover\, she focuses on Indigenous identity and how Indigenous peoples maintained their identity through food. Laura has earned multiple grants and fellowships for her current research\, including through the Latin American Iberian Institute (LAII)\, the Graduate Student and Professional Association\, and the Anthropology Department at the University of New Mexico. In 2020\, she was awarded a Fulbright Research Scholar Award to live and work in Argentina for nine months\, and she is currently a Latin American Iberian Doctoral Fellow through LAII. \nLaura cares deeply for the Indigenous peoples she works with and for those in her surrounding communities. She advocates for and helps women seeking careers in the sciences and careers of their choosing. Through archaeology\, she seeks to empower the women around her to tell their own stories and write their own meaningful narratives about their histories. In the future\, she hopes to broaden the scope of her research to collaborate with current peoples living with food insecurity in the United States and Argentina. \n

SUMMARY:Diversity in the Heart of New Mexico - Alex Arnold
DESCRIPTION::For centuries\, central New Mexico hosted people from many different backgrounds. From the Plains people to Pueblo people\, Spaniards to settlers expanding west and more\, the blending of cultures in the area shaped the diversity that lives on to this day. \nProgram description: PowerPoint presentation of the people that settled in and around Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument with a section devoted to the park and its resources. \nAlex Arnold \n: My name is Alex Arnold\, I am 25 years old and was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania. I began volunteering for the National Park Service as an Interpretation and Visitor Service volunteer at 13 years old at Friendship Hill National Historic Site. I remained a volunteer throughout school until I turned 18 and became a seasonal Interpretive Park Ranger at the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. I attended college at California University of Pennsylvania and obtained a B.A. in history with minors of event planning and tourism studies and a B.A. in Parks and Recreation Management. Throughout my university career\, I was a seasonal park ranger at five different units of the National Park Service between Pennsylvania\, Kansas\, Maryland\, and New Jersey. Just about a year after graduation\, I landed my first permanent position at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Currently\, I am serving a detail promotion as Chief of Interpretation and Visitor Service at that park.

SUMMARY:Cliff Dwelling Architecture and Mesa Verde National Park - Larry V. Nordby
DESCRIPTION:Larry V. Nordby \nField Director\, Archaeological Site Conversion Program \nNational Parks Service (Retired) \nThis presentation will focus on cliff dwelling research done from the late 1990s up until the present.  Much of the work was done at Mesa Verde National Park\, but work was also done at many other sites\, such as the upper and lower cliff dwellings at Tonto National Monument\, Inscription House at Navajo National Monument\, at White House and Mummy Cave in Canyon de Chally. Activities entailed condition assessment\, site stabilization\, and intensive documentation\, generally in support of two research models: the social dimensions and scale of the architecture\, and the construction methods used to convert alcoves into homes.

SUMMARY:The Archaeology and Reconstruction of the Lake Champlain Steamboat Phoenix II
DESCRIPTION:As the fifth passenger steamboat to operate on Lake Champlain between Vermont and New York State\, Phoenix II\, built in 1820\, was once known as the fastest boat in the world.  Traveling between St. Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec\, and Whitehall\, New York\, for seventeen years\, the sidewheel steamers career was colored with a variety of events\, including carrying the first fatal dose of Cholera into the United States in 1832.  In 1837\, the old and worn-out wooden hull was retired to Shelburne Shipyard\, where it was scuttled in the shallow harbor.  An archaeological investigation of the hull from 2014 to 2016 revealed that only the very bottom of the hull remained intact\, but what was left was in a good state of preservation and could tell much about how the vessel was constructed.  Excavation of key components of the hull\, including the bow\, five frame sections\, the stern and rudder\, allowed archaeologist to reconstruct how the boat was built\, and interpret what it might have looked like despite the absence of iconographic evidence.  The archaeology revealed that the hull was built much more robustly than what was necessary for an inland body of water like Lake Champlain.  Its reconstruction shows that the tubby steamboat was much more simply designed than later passenger steamers and indicates that shipwrights had not yet realized the full potential of hull design as a method of increasing overall speed. \nAIA Lecturer – Carolyn Kennedy \nCarolyn Kennedy is a nautical archeologist with a focus on North American maritime history.  She received her Master’s and PhD from Texas A&M University’s Nautical Archaeology Program where her thesis and dissertation examined the hulls of four 19th-century steamboats in Lake Champlain\, Vermont.\, analyzing how their designs differed and developed over the course of the century as shipbuilders sought to create the ideal hull for the novel steam propulsion.   Ater graduating\, Dr. Kennedy spent a year as a research associate using cutting-edge laser-scanning technology to document the disarticulated timbers from three historic shipwrecks in Alexandria\, Virginia\, and reconstructing the ships digitally to better understand their original design and use.  Currently\, she is co-directing the Gaspe Maritime Archaeology Project\, launched in 2019\, which seeks to study the maritime heritage and nautical archaeology of early European colonization and subsistence activities of eastern Quebec and Canada.  I addition to her interests in the historical and maritime archaeology of Canada and the United States\, her research specialties and teaching interests also include public archaeology\, analytical archaeology\, and the conservation of archaeological materials.

SUMMARY:Cultural Continuity and Change in the Upper Pecos Valley: The Archaeology of Pecos National Historical Park
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy M. Moss\, Chief of Science and Resource Stewardship/Archaeologist\, Pecos National Historical Park (NHP)\, National Park Service \nCurrently\, Jeremy is the Chief of Science and Resource Stewardship/Archaeologist at Pecos National Historical Park in New Mexico\, where I’ve served for 10 years. He holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico and MA from the University of Wyoming. \nJeremy has worked for the National Park Service for 25 years in archaeology\, cultural and natural resource management\, and historic preservation. Over the last 18 years he has worked in the preservation of historic adobe architecture. During his career he has also worked at Canyonlands NP\, Chaco Culture NHP\, Glen Canyon NRA\, Petroglyphs NM\, Saguaro NP and Tumacácori NHP. \nPecos Pueblo was occupied for over six hundred years and was a gateway community connecting the Plains and the Rio Grande Valley. The allure\, mysteries\, and myths of Pecos have fascinated archaeologists since Bandelier first recorded the site in 1881. The cultural connections to modern Pueblo groups make it an interesting place to explore cultural continuity and to assess the legends and lore that first drew archaeologists to Pecos at the turn of the 20th century. The presentation will summarize the history of archaeology at the site\, future avenues of research\, and the many cultural connections that bind modern Pueblo groups to Pecos Pueblo.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Los Luceros – Revealing the Hidden Gem of New Mexico - Rebecca Ward
DESCRIPTION:Los Luceros was designated a historic site in 2019 which preserved 148 acres of towering Cottonwood Trees\, rolling agricultural fields\, incredibly preserved historic buildings\, a delightful apple orchard\, four miles of traditional acequia ditches\, and a bosque full of wildlife… all sitting on the bank of the beautiful Rio Grande. Carly hopes to demonstrate why this site is so special to so many people by covering the site’s history through its present programs and projects. It is time to excavate this “hidden gem” and reveal its importance and beauty for all to admire! \nRebecca Ward \nRebecca Ward is the Instructional Coordinator for Los Luceros Historic Site. She started at Los Luceros in February of 2020 as the site ranger and became the main site history researcher during the site’s closure to the public from March 2020 to February 2021. Once Los Luceros reopened to public visitation she gave tours\, answered research requests\, and created the current interpretive signage in the buildings. Rebecca has a Master of Arts in Museum Studies from the University of Oklahoma. She has volunteered and worked for the National Park Service at Mesa Verde National Park\, Petroglyph National Monument\, Chaco Culture National Historical Park\, and Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area\, and she has also worked for the 501c3 Private Non-Profit Washakie Museum and Cultural Center in Worland\, WY. Rebecca’s focus at Los Luceros may have changed to working primarily with children by giving school tours and doing virtual classroom visits but she still shares the history and beauty of Los Luceros every day!

SUMMARY:A Comparison of Musical Instruments from the Prehispanic American Southwest and Paquimé\, Chihuahua
DESCRIPTION:Musical instruments have been found at the Late Medio period regional polity of Paquimé in northern Mexico and in sites ancestral to Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest\, but they have never been meaningfully compared. Paquimé’s occupation corresponds with the first half of the Pueblo IV period in the Southwest\, a time when instruments were most numerous and diverse. Intriguingly\, some instruments are found in both regions whereas others are not. I will summarize the types known for both locations and compare them\, considering the social and physical contexts of their use. \nEmily Brown \nEmily spent her childhood in the house her father built north of Questa only a few miles from what would become the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument\, the subject of tonight’s talk.  She remembers finding pieces of chipped stone and pottery in the neighborhood\, and this along with family trips to places like Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde sparked an interest in archaeology at an early age.  She double-majored in music and cultural anthropology as an undergraduate at Lewis and Clark College in Portland\, Oregon but her interest in archaeology persisted and the summer after graduation she volunteered as an archaeologist at Bandelier National Monument.  This led to a job with the National Park Service in Santa Fe doing archaeological work which confirmed that this was a career she wanted to pursue.  After three years she went to Columbia University to complete her Ph.D.\, writing her dissertation on prehistoric musical instruments from the Southwest.  She returned to the Park Service after finishing her coursework but left to establish her own cultural resource consulting firm in 2005.  She lives with her husband and business partner in Santa Fe where they also garden and keep bees.

SUMMARY:An Indigenous “Borderland?”: Reframing the Dynamic Late Prehispanic San Carlos Safford Area of Southeastern Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Thatcher A. Seltzer-Rogers\, MS\, RPA \nPhD Candidate\, Archaeology\, Department of Anthropology\, University of New Mexico  \nResearch Associate\, Jornada Research Institute \nPresident\, Treasurer\, and Webmaster\, Archaeological Society of New Mexico \nThe San Carlos Safford Area of southeastern Arizona has historically received limited archaeological attention with recent mention only with respect to the arrival of Ancestral Pueblo migrants into southern Arizona in the late thirteenth century. Yet\, despite this and the systematic destruction of sites during the early twentieth century with the expansion of floodplain agriculture\, careful examination demonstrates the area held a sizable population with a dynamic history of political hierarchy\, conflict\, economic development\, and population mobility. In this presentation\, I synthesize these patterns and contextualize them as a strong example of an Indigenous borderland in the archaeological record.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Chaco Canyon’s 10-Mile Protection Zone in the Greater Chaco Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Paul F. Reed\nThe last year has been very eventful in the battle to protect the Greater Chaco Landscape from the encroachment of oil-gas development. Late last year\, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced the withdrawal of 351\,000 acres of Federal BLM lands from oil-gas leasing in a 10-mile zone around Chaco Canyon and several Chacoan Outliers. This is the culmination of a nearly 10-year process. Other processes are moving forward\, as well\, including a comprehensive effort by Tribal Nations to understand their connections to the Greater Chaco Landscape. In this presentation\, I’ll discuss recent progress and look into the future of Greater Chaco protection.
