I thought the lecture on Chaco last Thursday was fairly low level for the audience. Most of the people there are aware of the points made by the lecturer. In short there was nothing new.

SARs public offerings to our Santa Fe community are first rate and I always leave their presentations or lectures knowing more about the condition of humanity - be it historical, political or cultural. Last weeks 1st annual Linda Cordell lecture, given by Dr. Ruth Van Dyke, is the latest example.

The audience was fairly sophisticated re Choco, and the presentation was too simplistic.

Simply an awesome school with strong connections to amazing artists! incredible clay pot collection. one of the most beautiful campuses Ive been to.

Great school! Wonderful research on the ancient Americas coming out of the SAR!
