CEDAR FALLS, Iowa —“Women and Men in Warfare and Migration: Gender Imbalance Among Pre-Historic Pueblos” will be the topic of the Phi Alpha Theta/Department of History Lecture at the University of Northern Iowa, at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 18, in Seerley Hall, room 115.
Julie Lowell, UNI associate professor of sociology, anthropology and criminology, will make an archaeological presentation concerning the Mountain Pueblo people of the Grasshopper region of east-central Arizona. According to Lowell, beginning in the late 13th Century there was a major migration into that area from the Anasazi territories to the north.
“Recently, there has been excellent documentation of violence to the north, which was probably related to the environmental difficulties,” said Lowell. “I will present evidence that more women than men survived this violence and retreated to the Grasshopper region, where they had a major influence on later cultural developments.”
The next history lecture will be Nov. 29, when Kenneth Atkinson, UNI assistant professor of philosophy and religion, will speak on “Scrolls, Scandals and Scholars: A History of the Controversy Over the Dead Sea Scrolls.”
