Join us Nov. 1 at the CU Museum of Natural History for a free lecture! 

Writer, artist and archaeologist Ann Axtell Morris inspired young people to study archaeology through the publication of two popular field autobiographies, "Digging in Yucatan" and "Digging in the Southwest." 

Her books recounted the excitement of discovery and the meticulous care employed by those seeking meaning from ancient artifacts and architecture. Although overshadowed by her more-famous husband Earl Morris and early 20th-century academics who tended to devalue the contributions of women, this lecture re-examines the significant contributions made by this pioneer archaeologist.
