Evidence suggests interaction between Tijeras Pueblo
and Socorro, Zuni and Acoma
Bernalillo, NM – The Friends of Coronado State Monument are sponsoring a presentation by Dr. Linda Cordell on Sunday, May 20, 2007, at 2:00 PM, on the topic of “Making Community at Tijeras Pueblo.”
Tijeras Pueblo, a 14th century mountain village, has just been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. New research (some of which was directed by Dr. Cordell) provides fascinating insights into the many-faceted relationships among the residents of this community and villages as distant as Socorro, Zuni and Acoma, as well as those closer such as Paa-ko. Understanding the community at Tijeras Pueblo gives new perspective on a dynamic period in Pueblo Indian history.
Dr. Cordell discovered her love for Southwest archaeology in 1964 as a field school student at UNM’s Summer Field School in Archaeology as Sepawe, NM. After completing her doctorate at the University of California, she joined the Anthropology Department at UNM, where she was a full professor. Subsequently, Dr. Cordell accepted positions in San Francisco, CA, and then Boulder, CO, where she was a director of the University of Colorado Museum, a natural history museum, in addition to being a professor. She is currently a Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research on the Human Experience (SAR) in Sante Fe.
Dr. Cordell has received numerous national awards for her work in archaeology and has published more than a dozen books, including the classic text, Archaeology in the Twentieth Century (co-authored with Don D. Fowler), and more than 100 articles and book chapters.
This program will be held at Coronado State Monument located on U.S. 550, about one mile west of I-25. As space is limited, reservations for this presentation are suggested. Please call Gordon Forbes at 771-3464 or email your reservation to fcsm_reservations@yahoo.com. Admission is $5 per person; free to members of Friends of Coronado State Monument.
