Much of his work at Crow Canyon has focused on sites in the Goodman Point Unit of Hovenweep National Monument and he directed Phase II of the Goodman Point Archaeological Project from 2008 to 2011. He has published peer-reviewed journal articles about social organization, public architecture, migration, and community persistence.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation, sponsored by Crow Canyon as part of the Four Corners Lecture Series, is free to the public.
