Quivira in a New Light

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Quivira Revisited" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The identification of the "great settlement" visited by Juan de Oñate in 1601 has led to a wholesale revision of our understanding of protohistoric archaeology in Kansas. Instead of clusters of villages, the habitation sites of the Great Bend Aspect are large towns that contained thousands of residents. Sites of this scale require the use of remote sensing technology and other adaptations of archaeological field techniques. This poster presents some of the initial results of the fieldwork at Etzanoa and other Great Bend sites.
