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: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
