CVAS Meeting Presentation, 23 Sep
The speaker for Sept will be Jimmy Smith
of the Tarrant County Arch. Society. He is an archeological steward
with THC and a past president of TAS. His topic is the Techado Spring
site in New Mexico. This is the site owned by TAS member Pinkie
Robertson that has 2 prehistoric pueblo ruins. TAS members have worked
at the site for several years and have written a comprehensive report.
Techado Spring Pueblo, inhabited during the last half of the 13th
century, is a 700 room pueblo located in West-Central New Mexico. It is
in an area where little work has been done and is important because it
lies in a region that borders the Anasazi to the north and Mogollon to
the south. The large number of excavated rooms provide unparalleled
evidence of social interaction and warfare in that region.
