2015 excavations in New Mexico

2015 excavations in New Mexico


In July 2015, we began excavation of a 17th-century Spanish ranch in New Mexico. This ranch was a multi-cultural household that included Spanish colonizers and indigenous Plains and Pueblo peoples who were forcibly incorporated into the ranch’s daily activities. This NSF sponsored project explores the social and environmental consequences of Spanish colonization in New Mexico. Come hear about the summer’s work and the research program.
