鈥淣ew Mexico offers an abundance of archeological sites, many of which have been made into national parks or state parks,鈥� said Bean. 鈥淭he preservation of these places offers visitors the chance to glimpse into the lives of the Pueblo people before the arrival of Europeans.鈥�
Bean said many people of the Southwest built extensive and complex structures, with remains that can be found throughout New Mexico. Her presentation will look at three sites being preserved -- Chaco Canyon National Historical Park, Bandelier National Monument and Three Rivers Petroglyph Site.
