Archaeologists discuss N.M. pueblos
The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College.
A pre-meeting social will start at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited. After a brief business meeting, speaker Dan Simplicio will present “Vanished: Or We Could Have Vanished.” The discussion will focus on migration and core teaching that is still in practice today among the pueblos in New Mexico, as well as how much puebloans have deviated from core principals, including the roles of women.
Simplicio was a former member of the Zuni Tribal Council, and is currently the Cultural Specialist at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center.
