Open House

The Clovis Site hosted its first Open House and Prehistoric Technology Weekend.  It was probably the site’s most attended event and all went exceedingly well.  The New Mexico Van of Enchantment, Pottery Demonstrations, Preindustrial Technologists, and many other demonstrations made this an exciting weekend.
