Proposed Optional Tour
- William Breen Murray, local arrangements coordinator, has organized
an excursion to archaeological sites in the desert northwest of
Monterrey on Sunday April 6 for any who are interested. The site
is about an hour and a half from Monterrey and is a large petroglyph
site that was used for several thousand years by nomadic hunter-gatherers.
Dr. Murray plans to give a poster presentation on the site in
the poster session. He states that the hierarchy of sites in the
region “suggests both complex patterns of seasonal economic
adaptation and strategic locations for commerce between the Mexican
interior and the Gulf coastal region.” The cost for this
optional tour will be minimal (less than $5). The exact amount
will vary slightly depending on the number of participants. If
you would like to join the group, please indicate so on the registration
form so the group leader can arrange for transportation. Also,
if you plan to join the group, bring along a hat and walking shoes.
The group will be back to Monterrey by 3 p.m. to allow for afternoon
flight connections.
