Neighbours and Networks: Anasazi Communities and the Chaco Regional System

Nicole Kilburn

Camosun College

Nicole Kilburn is an archaeologist who teaches in the Social Sciences Department at Camosun College.  In her former life, she was a contract archaeologist and graduate student in the American Southwest, where she studied the Anasazi, a culture that flourished between AD 900-1300, then faded (possibly in response to severe climate changes.)  At its peak, the Anasazi interaction sphere covered approximately 60,000 km2, and left evidence of its complex social, political, and economic systems in the form of roads,  stone Œpueblo‚ villages, and non-perishable artifacts that are the focus of archaeological work today.  During this talk, Nicole will outline her graduate work and explain elements of the Chaco Anasazi from the community perspective.
