The talks will be presented by San Juan Basin Archaeological Society in cooperation with FLC and the Life-Long Learning Program.
As part of the Four Corners Lecture Series, Lekson will present “Chaco: North and South” at 7 p.m. May 10 in the Lyceum. A social will precede the talk at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby. Lekson will contrast the northern half of Chaco, which features Chimney Rock, Aztec Ruin, Salmon Ruin and Lowry Ruin Bluff Great House, with the lesser-known southern region.
Lekson will give a second talk, “The Mimbres: Dimples, Slip-Slop and Clapboard – What They Are and What They Mean,” at noon May 11 in the Lyceum. The talk will focus on 11th-century Mimbres “black-on-white” pottery, which is famous for its images of animals, people and mythical scenes.
