The Journal
The public is invited to the San Juan Basin Archaeological Society meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College. Dr. Randy McGuire will present “Building an International Archaeology in Sonora, Mexico.” There will be a social at 6:30 p.m. preceding the talk.
The boundaries and frontiers that define modern North American nations and states have profoundly affected archaeology. Sonora lies between two of the most intensively archaeologically researched regions in the world, but the quantity of research in Sonora remains relatively low. Archaeologists are attempting to change this through collaborative international archaeology.
McGuire has carried out most of his fieldwork in the Southwest, and is conducting a long-term field project in northwest Mexico and beginning research in contemporary archaeology on the U.S. — Mexican border around Nogales, Arizona.
