EVENT: Early Navajos, Tree-Rings, and Warfare in the Dinétah Heartland
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Casa Vicente, 375 S. Stone Avenue, Tucson, AZ.
The April 2010 meeting of Archaeology Café convened on Tuesday, April 6. Our presenter was Dr. Ronald H. Towner, Associate Research Professor at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona. The development of a Spanish colony in the Rio Grande Valley had serious economic and social impacts. In the Navajo heartland of Dinétah, the ripples of these impacts were felt for many decades and contributed to the development of the Navajo Nation as we know it today. Using tree-ring and archaeological data collected over the past twenty years, Ron discussed Early Navajo responses to changes in their social and physical environments.
