Abiquiu Archaeology, episode 1 is the first in a series of short videos documenting the Berkeley-Abiquiú Collaborative Archaeology Project (BACA), a community archaeology field project conducted during the summer of 2014 on behalf of the the Merced del Pueblo Abiquiú Land Grant and el Pueblo de Abiquiú Library and Cultural Center by UC Berkeley Archaeologists led by Dr. Jun Sunseri. The overall goal of the BACA project was to illuminate the history of Abiquiú as a Genízaro place where indigenous people who were captured or sold into indentured servitude and their descendants were relocated and organized into Spanish Colonial communities.
