Archaeology Café
Archaeology Cafés are held on the first Tuesdays of September–May at Casa Vicente in Tucson.
Archaeology Southwest and Casa Vicente invite you to Archaeology Café, a casual, happy hour-style discussion forum dedicated to promoting community engagement with cultural and scientific research. Visit the national Science Cafe website for more information on the grassroots science cafe movement.
We meet the first Tuesday of each month from September to May at 6:00 p.m.; presentations begin at 6:15 p.m. Our forum opens with a brief, informal presentation on a timely or even controversial topic, followed by a moderated question and answer period.
Come settle in with a drink and a plate of delicious tapas at downtown Tucson’s own Casa Vicente, 375 S. Stone Avenue, Tucson, Arizona 85701. Seating is open and unreserved—be ready to make new acquaintances! Guests are encouraged to support our hosts at Casa Vicente by purchasing their own food and drinks. For more information, or to be added to our email list for upcoming cafés, contact Kate Sarther Gann at (520) 882-6946, or by email.
