Join Torrance County Archaeological Society for its End-of-Season Dinner

SPONSORED CONTENT: The Torrance County Archaeological Society is closing out the season with a speaker who has helped rewrite the story of early North America. David Bustos, Resource Program Manager at White Sands National Park and a lead researcher on the now-iconic ancient human footprints, will present “Beyond White Sands: Fossil Footprints across Playa Environments” on Tuesday, November 11th at 6:30 p.m.

Bustos has spent years documenting and protecting the extraordinary Late Pleistocene trackways at White Sands, work that sparked international attention for its implications about early human presence on the continent. His current research expands beyond the dunes, tracing fossil footprints across playa systems and revealing how ancient people, animals, and changing climates interacted across these fragile landscapes.

The talk will be held at the Manzano Mountain Art Council Building, 101 E. Broadway in Mountainair. TCAS will also host its end-of-season dinner beforehand; dinner is $16 and not required to attend the lecture. RSVP for the meal by Nov. 8 at tcasnm@outlook.com.

It’s a rare chance to hear one of the field’s influential researchers share new insights into New Mexico’s deep past.
