The New Mexico Historical Review plans to publish our next piece in either the Fall 2008 or the Winter 2009 issue. This piece will provide information about the 2006 – 2007 and the 2007 – 2008 field seasons at Kuykendall Ruins.

The 2006 – 2007 field season was highly successful with respect to discovery of additional diagnostic Coronado Expedition metal artifacts. Added to these finds are archaeological features believed to be residuals of the Expedition, as well as non-metal material like that described by members of the excursion.

It is possible that the New Mexico Historical Review issue will also cover results of the summer 2007 field season conducted at the site we believe to have been the 2 July 1540 camp of the Advance Party of the Expedition, the 4 October 1540 camp of the Following Army, and the 8 April 1542 camp of the Retreating Army.

The summer 2007 field season produced two metal artifacts that point to the presence of the Coronado Expedition at this site
