This Brown Bag lecture has been cancelled

OAS Research Associate and Friends of Archaeology Board Member Sheri Spaar will be offering a special Brown Bag Talk, Día de los Muertos Redux: The Deep Archaeological Roots of the Day of the Dead, on Friday, October 27, 2023. This talk will concentrate on the calendrical halfway mark between the Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice that has been a cause of ritual and celebration in most pre-modern societies worldwide. Archaeological evidence from the Bronze Age of Europe through the New World sheds light on the ancient European past and its influence on the practices in the New World.

This talk will be held in the OAS library at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology. Talks are informal. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The lecture will also be provided in an online format (Zoom) and a recording posted after the fact on both the Friends of Archaeology Facebook page and the FOA YouTube channel. Look for special announcements regarding this and other talks on the FOA Facebook page or on the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies' website.
