Hembrillo: An Apache Battlefield of the Victorio War

April 3, 2015


Friday, April 3 - Sunday, April 5, 2015
(This trip is full and sign up is closed)

The Friends of Archaeology and the OAS, thanks to the invitation of Dr. Stan Berryman, archaeologist for the White Sands Military Reservation, is offering an extremely rare opportunity to enter restricted territory to tour the Hembrillo battle site. Our group archaeologist/guide is Dr. Karl Laumbach.

Karl will conduct a tour of the site on Saturday, and also present an after-dinner lecture at the Posta de Mesilla Restaurant in Las Cruces on Friday night. Saturday’s tour will include a 15th-17th century agave roasting pit (excavated by Karl in 2003) and some well-preserved panels of Apache rock art. On Sunday’s return, the group will likely tour the Three Rivers petroglyph site.

This trip is limited to 20 participants. Difficulty: Easy with minimal hiking (less than 1/4-mile). This trip is full and sign up is closed.

Please check back on this website and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation's Friends of Archaeology website for updates.
