UCI - Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center

09 Mar, 09 AM - 09 Mar, 01 PM

Guest speaker on plant related topics. Open to public. Ron Parker. Ron Parker’s Chasing Centuries is a one-of-a-kind travel-history book that explores an exciting and little-known adventure at the crossroads of archaeology and botany. Discover the depth and duration of human/agave coevolution across the desert southwest, and learn about the unusual agaves apparently associated with archaeological sites long since abandoned by residents of extinct ancient cultures. These agaves appear to be anthropogenic cultivars; living archaeological relics developed and planted by indigenous pre-Columbian Native Americans, and many are still growing exactly where they were planted hundreds of years ago. Copies of Chasing Centuries will be available for sale and signing. Date/Time: Monday, March 9th, 2020 from 10am to 11am at the Steele Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center (UCI Reserve)
