Brandon Yam is a senior at Hamilton College, Clinton, NY. He received a scholarship in 2024 to attend the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center’s College Field School.

He is basing his senior thesis on this topic. In this talk he will share his experience and insight from one of the key Southwest sites from the Ancestral Pueblo period.
