Berkeley-Abiquiú Collaborative Archaeology Project

Abiquiú Archaeology, episode 5

Abiquiu Archaeology, episode 5 is the fifth 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 de 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.

Episode 5 documents sums up the significance of Abiquiú to American and New Mexican history, and the significance of the project to the community and those who participated. The video was professionally produced by New Mexico Video Services of Española and features Jun Sunseri, UC Berkeley student Shelby Medina, local student volunteer Dominich Reyes, and community historian David Lopez.
