Preserving Ancestral Puebloan Roads

January 6, 2023 | By Admin

A series of linear roads were built around 1000 years ago all over the four corners area, but focusing on the Chaco Canyon region. We talk with Rob Weiner – archaeologist, anthropologist, and student of religion – whose research at the University of Colorado in Boulder focuses on monumental roads that the ancestors of the Pueblo and Diné people built about 1000 years ago here on the Colorado Plateau. We talk about the significance of these architectural monuments, how they are mapped out, and why it is important to preserve them.

Perspectives of a Hopi Archaeologist

September 24, 2021 | By Admin

There are not many Indigenous archaeologists working in the southwest, partly because of a troubled past with Western archaeologists.  Lyle Balenquah would like to see that change.  Lyle is a Hopi archaeologist working on ancestral lands on the Colorado Plateau.  We speak with him about his journey into archaeology and what it means for him to be working in these sacred places.  This episode of Science Moab was sponsored by the STEM Action Grant from the Society for Science.
