In this Tea and Archaeology video, Dr. Karen Gust Schollmeyer shares highlights from the Preservation Archaeology Field School.
A collaboration of Archaeology Southwest and the University of Arizona, the Preservation Archaeology Field School has trained 87 students since 2011. Each summer, students and professional archaeologists work together near Cliff, New Mexico, to understand what life was like in the region in the 1300s. How did people form the communities we are studying, which were long-lived and incorporated people of different origins and ethnicities? This talk summarizes our latest research, including findings about the interesting and varied expressions of Salado identity in the upper Gila, which contrast with Salado archaeology in other parts of the Southwest.
