Archaeologist Deni Seymour will offer a presentation titled "New Understandings of Coronado's Route through Arizona and East to Quivira" when she speaks to the Santa Cruz Valley Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society on March 8.
The presentation, set for 7 p.m. at the North County Facility at 50 Bridge Road, is free and open to the public.
According to the archaeological society, Seymour is a leading regional authority on protohistoric and historic Native American and Spanish colonial archaeology and ethnohistory. For more than 25 years she has studied the Sobaipuri-O'odham, the ancestral Apache, and lesser known Native Amercan groups and she has excavated at two of Arizona's three presidios.
Her March 8 presentation will summarize the types of evidence that archaeologists look for that are specific to the Coronado expedition.
The Santa Cruz Valley AAS Chapter meets the second Thursday of each month. In addition to hosting programs featuring experts in historical and archaeological topics that focus on the Santa Cruz River Valley, the chapter offers members opportunities for assisting archaeologists with excavating area sites, as well as hikes and tours to archaeologically and historically significant locations.
