Our next meeting will be held in person on Wednesday, October 12th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College. Dr. Cory Pillen, the new Director of the Center of Southwest Studies, will join us so that SJBAS members can meet her and she can meet some of our members. After the meeting and introduction of Dr. Pillen, Dr. Christopher Schwartz will present: “The pre-Hispanic Parrot Trade: Scarlet Macaws in the US Southwest & Mexican Northwest.” The meeting and presentation will also be available on Zoom.
Christopher Schwartz is a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University, where he earned his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 2020. He is an anthropological archaeologist who works on field and collections-based projects in the U.S. Southwest and Mexico. His research focuses on long-distance exchange and interaction between the U.S. Southwest/Mexican Northwest and Mesoamerica, how past humans interacted with animals, and archaeological applications of isotopic analyses.
