Visible Indicators of Group Affiliation and Social Position in the Chaco and Post-Chaco Eras (AD 850-1300)

with Dr. Ben Bellorado

Around the world and through time, people have used clothing to express aspects of their social identities. In the ancient Southwest, Ancestral Pueblo people used clothing to relate their membership in groups, social positions, and identity politics. Of all the types of clothing used in the region prehistorically, twined sandals were one of the most commonly preserved and ritually important types of footwear used during the Chaco and post-Chaco eras (AD 850-1300). This presentation investigates the ways Ancestral Pueblo people in the northern Southwest used twined sandals and their representations in other media to signal aspects of social identities in the Chaco and post-Chaco eras.

The webinar is suitable for lifelong learners from high school students to adults.  The lesson is free.
