Kristin Kuckelman Attends Conference
 |
| Kristin Kuckelman presents "Subsistence Stress, Warfare, and Population Mobility in the Northern Southwest." |
During the first week of February, Crow Canyon’s Research Publications Manager Kristin Kuckelman participated in an invited conference titled “The Archaeology of Food and Warfare,” which was hosted by organizers Amber VanDerwarker and Greg Wilson and held at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The conference featured 14 presentations on a variety of studies by top warfare researchers that scrutinized links between food and warfare around the globe, including Mesoamerica, Peru, England, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and the US Southwest.
Kristin’s presentation, “Subsistence Stress, Warfare, and Population Mobility in the Northern Southwest,” focused on violence and other effects of drought among Pueblo Indians during three distinct time periods and included evidence from Crow Canyon’s excavations at Castle Rock, Sand Canyon, and Goodman Point pueblos. Lawrence H. Keeley, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of War Before Civilization, served as discussant.
The conference papers will be published in a volume in the near future.
