The keynote speaker will be Dr. Sara Baires.

Dr. Baires is an archaeologist of ancient urbanism, religion, and Indigenous North American cities. Her research explores how communities constructed, inhabited, and experienced sacred landscapes -- particularly at Cahokia, the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico. Her research includes recognition of the lunar standstill and other celestial relationships at Cahokia.
