"Beneath the City Different: The Archaeology of Santa Fe," a seminar by eight local archaeologists, was so popular when it was held in November that an encore is planned.

Like the sold-out seminar Nov. 7, the March 27 event is planned from 1 to 5 p.m. at the auditorium of the New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln Ave. Reservations for tickets at $10 each are available by calling 954-7200.

More than 100 people reportedly were unable to get tickets to last fall's seminar in the 200-seat auditorium.

Timothy Maxwell, director emeritus of the Museum of New Mexico's Office of Archaeological Studies, will begin with an introduction, followed by Deputy Director Stephen S. Post's talk on the evidence of hunter-gatherers who first passed through the Santa Fe area 6,500 or more years ago.

Post will be followed by Cherie Scheick of Southwest Archaeological Consultants on Santa Fe in the 12th and 13th centuries; and Douglas W. Schwartz, senior scholar at the School for Advanced Research, on the Arroyo Hondo pueblo.

After a break will come talks by Cordelia Thomas Snow, a state archaeologist and historian, on early colonial Santa Fe; Ron Winters, an independent contract archaeologist, on the Santa Fe Trail; Jessica Badner of the Office of Archaeological Studies on the early railroad; and Jason Shapiro, chairman of the city Archaeological Review Committee, on Santa Fe's early archaeologists.

The seminar is organized by the School for Advanced Research and Friends of Archaeology of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, with support from the Old Santa Fe Association and First National Bank of Santa Fe.
