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:New Mexico Turquoise in Ancient Mexico - Tim Maxwell
DESCRIPTION:The possible sources of turquoise found throughout Mesoamerica have long drawn scholarly attention. Although the southwestern United States contains several major sources\, turquoise also occurs in Mexico. Can researchers determine the source of turquoise incorporated in thousands of Mesoamerican artifacts? \nDr. Tim Maxwell\n\n\nDr. Tim Maxwell is Archaeologist\, Emeritus Director\, Office of Archaeological Studies\, Museum of New Mexico\, the current President of the Santa Fe Archaeological Society; Field Archaeologist\, Abiquiu Reservoir\, School for Advanced Research; Co-Author\, City of Santa Fe Archeological Ordinance; Joint U.S./Mexican Casas Grandes\, Chihuahua Archaeological Research Project; Fulbright Research Scholar (Mexico); Member\, New Mexico Cultural Properties Review Committee \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Climate\, Demography\, Ethnicity\, and Territory: Setting the Stage for European Colonization - Eric Blinman
DESCRIPTION:European Colonization coincided with a dynamic period within the Native American cultural landscape of Northern New Mexico. Sequential adaptations to a series of climate changes included migrations\, displacements of communities\, successes and failures of the agricultural economies\, and conflict and resolution among an ethnically diverse population. \nEric Blinman began studying archaeology in 1967\, eventually getting degrees in anthropology from UC Berkeley and Washington State University. He joined the Museum of New Mexico’s archaeology program in 1988 as a laboratory supervisor for projects in the Four Corners region of New Mexico. In 1992-1993\, Eric was introduced to Galisteo Basin archaeology by Tim Maxwell and John Ware as a field conservation specialist\, working to document perishable ceremonial artifacts that had been encountered by Forrest Fenn’s excavations at Pueblo San Lazaro. Those were also the years that the Office of Archaeological Studies (OAS) edited and published Christina Singleton Mednick’s “San Cristobal: Voices and Visions of the Galisteo Basin.” Tim’s relationship with the Singleton family resulted in more than three decades of access to Galisteo Basin archaeology by OAS archaeologists\, including Eric. He has brought his knowledge of Four Corners pottery\, ceramic technology\, paleoenvironments\, and cultural affiliation studies to the problems and potentials of the complex history of the Galisteo Basin. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Worlds Forever Changed: The Rio Grande Pueblos\, First Contact\, and the Vázquez de Coronado Expedition (1540-1542) - Matt Schmader
DESCRIPTION:The huge exploration led by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was the first contact between Ancestral Rio Grande Pueblos and outsiders. Its intended goals failed and the expedition spent the whole winter of 1540-1541 camped in village that was taken over from Southern Tiwa residents. Distrust and strife broke out into outright hostilities called the Tiguex War. Investigations of architecture\, materials\, and artifact patterning from a major site of the war\, located north of Albuquerque\, are presented. \nDr. Matt Schmader has been conducting archaeological research for 40 years in the southwestern United States and obtained his PhD in 1994 from the University of New Mexico. He has worked at a wide variety of sites in central New Mexico\, from PaleoIndian campsites and Archaic period dwellings to pithouse villages\, sacred petroglyph sites\, and the historic red-light district in downtown Albuquerque. Since 2007\, his research has focused on the 1540-1542 Coronado exploration in the Rio Grande valley\, its conflicts\, and impacts on local native populations. He was the former Albuquerque city archaeologist and is currently an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico Department of Anthropology.

SUMMARY:Built in the past\, for the future: 40 years of implementing the City of Santa Fe's archaeological  and historic district's code and ordinance - Paul Duran
DESCRIPTION:In 1986\, the City of Santa Fe established the archaeological ordinance in support of preserving the past for the future. During that time of inception\, public education and preservation were hallmarks for the ordinance. Today\, the archaeological ordinance is tied directly to the construction building permit and the development of Santa Fe’s above ground and below surface infrastructure. Given the recent Santa Fe Forward initiative\, how do we as archaeologists continue to preserve the past for the future while meeting the present needs today?\nThis lecture will discuss steps moving forward in the City of Santa Fe where we are implementing updates to the Archaeological and Historic Districts code and ordinance for best preservation practices today and for the future.
