The Chinese terracotta warriors of Qin Shi Huang Office of Archaeological Studies and Friends of Archaeology Brown Bag Lecture:

Barbara Chatterjee will present a lecture on the terracotta warriors of Qin Shi Huang. The images of the terracotta army standing in trenches near Xi’an, China have traveled around the world many times. However, the recovery work continues, and on this UNESCO World Heritage site, one can see also the loci of continued excavation and restoration of yet more warriors and horses. I will share what I observed looking at the site for clues to the archaeological process.

The Brown Bag talks will take place at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology at 12:00 noon in the CNMA library. Seating is limited. Admission is free.

The Center for New Mexico Archaeology (7 Old Cochiti Road) is located off of Caja del Rio Road, across from Challenge New Mexico on the way to the Santa Fe Municipal Golf Course. Take 599 to South Meadows Road, continue through the traffic circle west along the Frontage Road to Caja del Rio Road. CNMA is on the left-hand side of the road and is the large building with white sail-like skylights on the roof.
