Event Description
Since 2016, Crow Canyon's Northern Chaco Outliers Project has explored the Lakeview Community—four Chaco-era Great Houses in southwest Colorado. Much of this work focuses on the Haynie site, home to two of the Great Houses. Dr. Jonathan Dombrosky will share findings from three years of zooarchaeological research, highlighting how animal remains—like bison and wolf—shed light on past Pueblo life and human-animal relationships.
