EVENT: The Complexity and Diversity of Chaco Canyon
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, October 5, 2010, at 6:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Casa Vicente 375 S. Stone Avenue, Tucson, AZ.
On Tuesday, October 5, 2010, Archaeology Café featured Paul F. Reed, Preservation Archaeologist with the Center for Desert Archaeology and Chaco Scholar at Salmon Ruins. Paul presented his view of The Complexity and Diversity of Chaco Canyon. Chaco Canyon’s massive sites, beauty, and mystery need little introduction for literate audiences in the American Southwest. Less well known, though, are the complexity and diversity of Pueblo sites in Chaco. In this discussion, Paul delved into these issues, going beneath the surface to explore the uniqueness and magic of the ancient Puebloan society headquartered at Chaco Canyon.
