SOUTHWEST SEMINARS | Reframing Paquimé: My Final Thoughts After Forty Years

Presented by: Dr. Paul Minnis

Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Oklahoma; Editor, Author or Co-Author of a dozen books along with numerous journal articles and chapters. After four decades of recording and/or excavating sites in the Southwest U.S. and Northwest Mexico with his colleague, Michael Whalen, they have contributed to greater knowledge of Paquimé and its role as an ancient regional population center and how it interacted with both neighboring and distant communities/ cultures. He continues this work, applying these archaeological findings to addressing the social and cultural problems of our 21st Century to learn how ancient farming practice can enhance our modern world’s food supply. Thank you, Dr, Minnis! (Grant County Archeological Society bio.)
