Wednesday, October 29, 6pm- 7:30pm
Join us for the first Tumamoc Author Series event of the season!
Archaeologist Patricia Gilman takes us back 900 years when the Mimbres culture flourished in eastern Arizona. She will talk about her new book, co-authored with Mary Whisenhunt: Mimbres Far from the Heartland: Identity at the Powers Ranch Site of East-Central Arizona. Mimbres culture is famous for its black-on-white pottery and large, compact pueblo villages. Through excavation and analysis of architecture and a rich array of artifacts, including ceramic sherds, projectile points, and shell artifacts, Gilman and Whisenhunt provide a detailed look at the lives of Mimbres people on the periphery. Gilman will be conversation with Linda Gregonis, co-author with Victoria Riley Evans of The Hohokam and Their World.
