Pre-Columbian Society of Washington DC Lecture
"New Light on "Collapse" and Conquest in Belize and Cuba"
Evidence on surviving the "collapse" and conquest will be presented
from recent and past excavations at the sites of Lamanai and Tipu in
Belize, and Los Buchillones in Cuba. Lamanai inhabitants survived the
Maya collapse, and the historic communities of Lamanai and Tipu
adapted to colonial conditions. Radiocarbon dates from Los
Buchillones in Cuba suggest survival beyond the Spanish conquest.
Thus, it seems that old ideas about the "disappearances" of both the
Maya and the Taino need reworking.

May 8, 7:30 PM
Pacific Coast Archaeological Society Lecture
"Peripheries, Frontiers, and Chiefs: The Mississippian Occupation of
the Lower Illinois River Valley"
Dr. Colleen Delaney-Rivera
Cultural interaction, identity, and sociocultural change are
pervasive themes throughout human history worldwide. This talk takes
us to a time of dramatic social and political change in the
Midwestern United States around A.D. 1100, when Mississippian
moundbuilders were coming into contact with Late Woodland villagers.
How might interaction with traders, missionaries, and colonizers from
the metropolis of Cahokia affect lifeways in a sociopolitically less
complex region where local cultural traditions already existed? What
archaeological evidence can we find?
