OAS Events

Santa Fe Found: Fragments of Time

Archaeology at the Palace of the Governors

Now celebrating its 400th anniversary, Santa Fe was once an infant city on the remote frontier. A new exhibition at the Palace of the Governors, New Mexico History Museum, explores the archaeological evidence and historical documentation of Santa Fe before the Spaniards arrived, the first colony in San Gabriel del Yungue, the founding of Santa Fe, and its first 100 years as New Mexico’s capital. The exhibit, a collaboration between the History Museum and OAS, is on display until late 2011.

OAS Brown Bag Talks


The OAS Brown Bag talks, given by OAS archaeologists and others, are free to the public. Thanks to the generosity of the New Mexico Film Office, the talks have resumed at the New Mexico Film Museum Theater, 418 Montezuma in Santa Fe. The doors open at 11:45, and the talks begin at noon. They are "brown bags" in spirit only: food is not allowed in the auditorium.
