Meeting: Dr. John Taylor Montoya

Dr. John Taylor-Montoya – Unearthing New Mexico's Past

Beneath New Mexico's landscapes lie thousands of years of human history waiting to be discovered, preserved, and understood.

Join us as we welcome Dr. John Taylor-Montoya, Executive Director of the New Mexico Office of Archaeological Studies, for a fascinating look at how archaeology helps reveal the stories of the people and cultures who shaped our state long before us.

Dr. Taylor-Montoya will discuss the Office's work conducting archaeological research, protecting historic and cultural sites, collaborating with Tribal Nations and communities, and sharing discoveries through education and public outreach. He'll also explore why preserving our archaeological heritage is essential to understanding New Mexico's rich and diverse past.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of the Southwest, or simply curious about what lies beneath our feet, this promises to be an engaging and enlightening program.

Guests are welcome to attend.
