OAS | October 2024

The OAS and MNMF held a successful fundraising lecture at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science on September 12. Executive Director Dr. John Taylor-Montoya invited Dr. David Rachal to present on his White Sands Footprints dating research using his background in geoarchaeology. The sold-out event received great feedback with attendees asking for more events, especially in Albuquerque.

The New Mexico Historic Preservation Division is sponsoring its Annual Archaeology Fair on Saturday, October 19 with co-hosts, the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.
