"Images of a Storied Land" lecture series to be held June 10 in Mesa

This lecture series focuses on key Phoenix area archaeology and current research, and will conveniently be held at both the Mesa Southwest Museum and Pueblo Grande Museum. The first lecture of the series is this Saturday, June 10 at 2 PM, in the Mesa Southwest Museum theater. Dr. Jerry Howard of Mesa Southwest Museum and Dr. Todd Bostwick of Pueblo Grande Museum will offer their perspectives on the platform mound sites that defined the many large villages that lined the canals of the Gila and Salt river valleys. Why were Pueblo Grande and Mesa Grande platform mounds so large? And how did the residents of these communities relate to one another and to the many other communities with smaller mounds that were once common? What needs to be done to ensure that these mounds are preserved for the future? Click here for more information about this and other upcoming lectures.
