Northern Chaco Symposium Offered By Crow Canyon Archaeological Center: Between the ninth and twelfth centuries, Chaco Canyon became the center of a far-reaching political, economic, and symbolic network. Questions surrounding the “Chaco Phenomenon” are a focus of intense debate. Most archaeologists agree the Chaco influence is seen in the Mesa Verde region at Lowry Pueblo, Haynie Ruin, the Bluff Great House, Edge of the Cedars, Cottonwood Falls, and Yucca House. Join archaeology’s top researchers as we explore the Mesa Verde region and other sites including Aztec Ruins and Chimney Rock Pueblo to examine the Chaco influence. On-site and in the classroom, debate alongside some of the Southwest’s Chaco experts, including Drs. Bill Lipe, Gwinn Vivian, Steve Lekson, Jim Judge, and Tom Windes.
