Ancient Urbanism in Peru\u2019s Casma Valley<\/h2>\n

Join University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Art History and Archaeology Dr. David Pacifico for his talk “Ancient Urbanism in Peru\u2019s Casma Valley,” part of the Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latinx Studies (LACUSL) Speaker Series being held on April 15 from 3-4 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library. In this presentation, Pacifico will discuss the process of investigating the ancient Casma culture from the North Coast of Peru, circa 700-1400CE. He details the methods he and others have used to find and interpret remains they left behind and how those conclusions fit into wider academic narratives. In a conversational format, he also explains his strategy for developing his career to this point and in guiding what comes next.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LACUSL Speaker Series is free and open to the public. No registration is required. Email\u00a0clacs@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0with questions or to request accessibility accommodations.<\/p>\n
