New Archaeology Southwest Issue on Kino Missions
In the spring of 2008, my husband and I, my Center colleague Linda Pierce, and a group of other like-minded travelers took a Kino Missions tour to Mexico, sponsored by the Southwest Mission Research Center (www.southwestmissions.org). While visiting the mission at Caborca, we met Gloria Santini de Vanegas, who was involved with restoring the mission in time for its two hundredth anniversary in May 2009. It was then that Linda and I hatched the idea for an issue of Archaeology Southwest about the Kino missions.
Thanks to the issue's guest editors, Dale Brenneman and Diana Hadley, of the Office of Ethnohistorical Research at the Arizona State Museum, we have a new issue (Volume 23, No. 2) that contains the following articles by a stellar lineup of authors:
