TOPIC
Maya Dwarves in Art and Maya World View
In Maya art appear dwarves as companions or “attendants” to witness rituals or events. They are usually in the presence of elites. Scholars have speculated about their function in Maya society and in fact their actual existence. Figures of dwarves have been excavated at many sites. This talk will review the art and evidence.

History of Taos Archaeological Society Project
An effort is currently underway to build a historical timeline of TAS events and history! We need your help!
The Taos Archaeological Society has operated for 34 years. In that time, many documents have been produced. Unfortunately, TAS does not have a complete record of documents produced and distributed.
We are in need of documents/publications that date from September 1999 through February 2014.
You can help by contributing:
Past bulletins, meeting minutes, financial statements, member lists, and other communications.
Thank you for your continued support of the Taos Archaeological Society.
