Should We Stay or Should We Go? Farming and Climate Change, 1000-1450 CE

In this Archaeology Café, Preservation Archaeologist and Field School Director Karen Schollmeyer and Scott Ingram (Colorado College) consider “Should We Stay or Should We Go? Farming and Climate Change, 1000-1450 CE.” Karen and Scott discuss ways farmers respond to climate changes, especially droughts, highlighting findings from their case studies in southwest New Mexico and central Arizona.

I always enjoy these! Lock down has my amateur archeologist stirring. While I’m physically disabled, my brain still works so these have been a God send. I’m in and from the Middle Rio Grande valley. As a child I discovered what I now know was a trash midden in the field directly across from my home. I’ve been smitten ever since!
