A San Juan Basin Archaeological Society meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College.
After the brief business meeting, Laurie Webster will present “Clothes Make the Person: Clothing Diversity in the Prehispanic Southwest.”
The talk will explore the regional diversity of clothing styles among prehispanic societies on the Colorado Plateau and south of the Mogollon Rim.
Webster is an anthropologist and textile consultant from Mancos. Her publications include the books Beyond Cloth and Cordage: Archaeological Textile Research in the Americas, and Collecting the Weaver’s Art.
The event is free and open to the public, and there will be a 6 p.m. reception prior to the meeting in the foyer.
