The Pottery Typology Project is an ongoing endeavor by C. Dean Wilson, focusing on the description and classification of ceramic types recovered from archaeological contexts in New Mexico. Mr. Wilson will speak about what he has learned by creating this exhaustive on-line compendium, which is the first of its kind.

Mr. Wilson has been working with ceramics from the southwest for over 25 years. He is an expert on prehistoric and historic pottery types found in New Mexico and has both broad and specific knowledge from which he is able to infer an assemblage's temporal component as well as cultural association.

The Brown Bag talks will take place at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology at 12:00 noon on Tuesdays in the CNMA library. Seating is limited. Admission is free.

The Center for New Mexico Archaeology (7 Old Cochiti Road) is located off of Caja del Rio Road, across from Challenge New Mexico on the way to the Santa Fe Municipal Golf Course. Take 599 to South Meadows Road, continue through the traffic circle west along the Frontage Road to Caja del Rio Road. CNMA is on the left-hand side of the road and is the large building with white sail-like skylights on the roof.
