¡Colores!; Women Archeologists in the Southwest: A Lady and a Scholar; Carlos Carulo

KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · January 13, 1991

¡Colores! will look at the contributions of three pre-eminent women archeologists of the Southwest, Marjorie Lambert, Bertha Dutton, and Florence Hawley Ellis. Octogenarians all, they broke into the field of dirt archeology during the twenties and thirties. Up to that time, science had been defined exclusively by its male practitioners. They not only succeeded, but they excelled, bringing new knowledge and insights into the varied nature of non-western cultures. They will share with us some of those insights and discuss the relevance of the science of anthropology in today's world. Topics discussed include; the unique mission of the woman anthropologist, the interaction between cultures of the Southwest, their early years, influences, difficulties and reminiscences. Guests: Florence Hawley Ellis (Anthropologist), Joan Mathien (National Park Service, Archeologist), Marjorie Ferguson Lambert (Anthropologist), Bertha Dutton (Anthropologist), Elmer Leon (State Parks and Monuments), Andrea Ellis (daughter of Florence). Artist Profile: painter Carlos Carulo discusses his art practice.
