About us

The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society (SJBAS) consists of people who are interested in the archaeology and early history of the Four Corners Region. We have members of all ages and backgrounds, some with extensive training in archaeology and others with more limited knowledge, but a strong desire to learn.

The group has several objectives: to learn more about archaeology in general; to raise public awareness of our region's significant archaeological resources; and to draw attention to the hazards of vandalism to these unique perishable cultural remains. Members participate in lectures, discussions, field trips, and volunteer projects. Membership is open to any individual interested in the archaeology and history of the Four Corners Region.

The SJBAS meets regularly on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. usually in the Lyceum in the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College. Meetings are highlighted by talks on some phase of archaeology or historical subject.

Members are eligible to participate in SJBAS field trips. They receive a monthly newsletter, the Moki Messenger, with information about current SJBAS activities, including field trips, and other matters of archaeological interest.
