Under the Landscaping and Pavement at the Drury Hotel Site

June 23, 2015


Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 12:00 noon, free!

Investigations conducted beneath the landscaping and pavement at the Drury Hotel building have revealed a series of features and foundations documenting important aspects of Santa Fe history, none of which was visible from the surface. Spanish Colonial deposits bracket the Pueblo Revolt, and shed light on construction of the second parroquia. Numerous foundations from the Sisters of Charity complex document the locations of these buildings and provide details of construction.

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.
