Tour | Lost but Not Forgotten Cemetery Tour II | Led by Dr. Alysia Abbott | Thursday, October 19, 2023 | 2-5pm | Downtown Santa Fe

This tour is guided by archaeologist Dr. Alysia L. Abbott and will cover the history of each graveyard and the people buried within them as well as the techniques used for finding them, the ethics of disinterring them, and pathways to protecting the sites. The tour will last approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.

Everywhere one walks in downtown Santa Fe, the Dead are there, under our feet. Thousands still occupy their graves, resting perhaps uneasily, under the buildings, streets, sidewalks and parking lots of modern Santa Fe. These people lived and died at this sacred place along the Santa Fe river and were buried close by their families and community for thousands of years. Who would have believed when they were laid to rest, that their graves could be so easily lost in a city that claims to revere her history and her Dead?
