New Mexico History Museum
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Lecture and booksigning

Join author Flora Clancy for a discussion about her book, "The Monuments of Piedras Negras, an Ancient Maya City." Treated as documents of an ancient past, Maya relief-carved monuments provide much social and cultural information. In this book, however, the monuments of Piedras Negras are also treated as works of art, resulting in more nuanced types of information. This event takes place in the Lew Wallace Room of the Palace of the Governors.
