Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation “The Closest Neighbors of Paquimé”
February 20 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
On Thursday, February 20, 2025, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online program featuring the presentation “The Closest Neighbors of Paquimé” by archaeologist Paul Minnis, PhD. This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time).
Paquimé, also known as Casas Grandes, was one of the major pre-Hispanic centers in the US Southwest and northwestern Mexico. Despite the historical neglect of this site and its surrounding region by archaeologists, researchers from several countries have begun to better illuminate its rise, influence over surrounding areas, and final demise. This talk especially highlights two decades of research that Paul Minnis and colleague Michael Whalen have conducted around this important ancient community. Dr. Minnis is a Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, University of Oklahoma.
