As a part of the Four Corners Lecture Series, the Hisatsinom Chapter of the Colorado Archaeology Society will present Dr. Chuck Riggs on Tuesday, April 2 at 7 p.m. at the Methodist Church, 515 Park St., to discuss “Secular and Sacred: Evaluating Kiva Function in the Mesa Verde Region.”
Riggs will focus on recent work at the Bowthorpe and Pigg sites that contradicts the traditional assumptions of kivas as strictly religious spaces and suggests that these structures remained primary loci for habitation activities well into the Pueblo III period (A.D. 1150 to 1300).
