Following the Meet and Greet Reception on Friday, April 20 there will be an optional catered buffet with your choice of green chile chicken or red chile vegetarian enchiladas. There will be a short program previewing the Estancia Basin and Sunday's field trips.
Posters will be available on Friday from the beginning of registration at 4 p.m. to the end of the evening program around 8 p.m. and on Saturday. The expanded poster presentation will provide opportunities to showcase many aspects of the rich natural and cultural resources of Estancia Basin-Salinas Province.
The Saturday's program will begin with a mini-symposium reviewing the geology, paleontology, biology and early climates of the Estancia Basin and the peopling of the Salinas Province from early man through the historic period. The historic perspective will focus on use and trade of salt from the lake on the La Salina Grant. Papers on any of these aspects are especially welcome for the general session to follow. Papers on other subjects, particularly on research in process or recently completed, are invited as well for the afternoon session.
The Awards Banquet and Bandelier Lecture will take place on Saturday evening.
Field trips on Sunday will include the Salinas Basin Lakes, the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, and a tour of the interpretive trail and new Interpretive Center at Tijeras Pueblo.
