NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 6:00 PM VIA ZOOM: the next GCAS general meeting features GCAS member (and past president!) Kyle Meredith, who will present an informal slideshow of his & Josh’s recent travels in Mexico titled, Prehispanic Mexico—Someplace Else. Kyle describes, "Did you want to see another presentation about the Maya or Aztecs? This isn't it. Are you interested in the Flower World of Mesoamerica and how it relates to the SW/NW? Sorry. This is an in-depth examination of the genetics of Paquime—not! What you are going to see is a tourist-eye view of a couple of sites and cultures you might not have heard of. If I were an academic with credentials, you could expect to learn something more than you already know, but that's not me. Lower your expectations and sit back and enjoy a slideshow of some pretty cool architecture and artifacts. You can even butt in with your two-cents worth from time to time as long as we don't belabor any points. Who am I? My name's Kyle. That's all you need to know." Watch this space, your email inbox, and your monthly newsletter for when the Zoom link becomes available.

NEXT FIELD TRIP: Sunday, March 2, 2025: The next GCAS field trip will visit the Woodrow Site, one of the largest and best-protected sites in the area, led by its site steward, the GCAS's own Greg Conlin. Meet at 10:00 AM sharp at the Chuck's Folly gas station on the west side of Hwy 180 in Cliff, about a 35-minute drive westbound on Hwy 180 from Silver City and a short distance before the junction of Hwy 180 and Hwy 211. Wear sturdy shoes and weed proof clothes, and pack sun protection, water, and a sack lunch if desired. Before you go, read this Archaeology Southwest article to learn more about the significance of this site. As always, to protect sensitive sites like this one we limit this field trip to GCAS members and those guests who can accompany the GCAS member in their vehicle. Let's go!
