Not fired for 500 years, two bronze cannon lay buried in the 1541 battle site at the Coronado Expedition townsite of Suya, near Nogales in southern Arizona. A replica of the first cannon was made by a gunsmith and will be fired for the first time in public at Tubac presidio. The firing will be preceded by a discussion about the cannon, the making of the replica by the gunsmith who crafted it, and the role of these guns for the expedition.

Dr. Deni Seymour is joined for this presentation by fellow members of the Historical Arms Society of Tucson and by the gunsmith who made the replica.

Join us for this opportunity to hear them speak and experience an exhilarating live cannon firing!

The original cannon will be available for viewing as well.

Free in-person presentation by archaeologist Tom Windes sponsored by the Taos Archaeological Society in the Kit Carson Electric Co-op Meeting Room, 118 Cruz Alta Road, Taos, New Mexico.

For the past 19 years archaeologist Tom Windes has been involved in documenting, mapping, recording, and taking tree-ring samples from intact or nearly intact cliff ruins in Natural Bridges and Bears Ears National Monuments. This talk will cover 25 years of fieldwork in the Bears Ears National Monument, an area of controversy since first established by President Obama, mostly eradicated by President Trump, and restored by President Biden. The fieldwork has focused on recording historic and precontact sites with structural wood because of the impacts of greatly increased visitation and looting, largely sparked by the controversy and outside recognition of Bears Ears’ natural and cultural resources. For the first time, a group of Native American tribes has worked together for years to protect this culturally sensitive area.

Join us for this special event co-organized and co-sponsored by the New Mexico Cheese Guild. It will be a captivating exploration of human history through the lens of one of our oldest culinary technologies: cheese! This event traces the 11,000-year journey of dairy pastoralism, from its origins in the Near East to its eventual introduction to the Americas.

Lessons from the Fertile Crescent and Beyond: The Deep History of Cheesemaking and its Arrival in the Indigenous Americas.

Lecture by Dr. Paul Kindstedt (University of Vermont)

What were the crucial prerequisites that enabled dairying and cheesemaking to arise for the first time in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East at the start of the Neolithic around 11,000 years ago? Using the grasslands of the Eurasian Steppe as a focal point, this talk explores the roles of human migration, cultural diffusion, and climatic stressors in the longevity of lacto-fermentation and specifically cheese technology.

This historical framework, in turn, will then be used to examine how these pastoral systems that supported cheesemaking were introduced to the Americas by Spanish colonizer, permanently altering the agricultural landscape of the Western Hemisphere.

After the talk, ticketed guests are invited to a delicious cheese-tasting and an opportunity to meet Dr. Kindstedt.

Meet our Presenter

Dr. Paul Kindstedt is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Vermont and a world-renowned scholar on the history and chemistry of cheese. His work bridges the gap between ancient archaeology and modern food science, offering a unique perspective on how cheese has shaped human civilization.

This presentation examines Pueblo pottery as a living tradition and lifeway rooted in the landscape, tracing material and cultural continuities across a millennium and situating pottery within Indigenous Environmental Justice movements that resist pollution and extraction on ancestral homelands. By centering clay as a relational material with cultural, spiritual, and scientific meaning, the work challenges object- and data-driven ceramic studies and reframes pottery as an enduring relationship between people and place.

Are Alabanzas, Alabados, Inditas and Corridos words you’ve never heard before? If so, this presentation of traditional New Mexican Hispano music is the presentation you’ve been waiting to hear. With guitar in hand, Rob Martinez will blend history, culture and a musical context to learn about the rich Hispano music traditions in the enchanted land of New Mexico.

Rob Martinez, a native New Mexican, has been the state’s historian since 2019. He received his B.B.A.in International Business Management and M.A. in Latin American history from the University of New Mexico. As a research historian for the Sephardic Legacy Project, he scoured civil and church archives in New Mexico, Mexico, Spain, France, Italy, Cuba and Puerto Rico for 14 years. That research resulted in a published paper about the Crypto-Jewish phenomenon in New Mexico.
