Wow, the First Date is Back!The first chronometric date is back and it is quite interesting. I have to send him a little bit more information but once I do I will have the final date. I will post this later today or tomorrow. I will post the lab note for contributors only so you will be the first to see the date.
Thank you all for your contributions.

About This Project

Where are the Spanish Colonial Jesuit Missions at Guevavi?

Jornada Research Institute

Guevavi was a major focus of missionization efforts among the Sobaipuri-O'odham. We think we have identified the 1751 Jesuit mission among six adobe structures that surround the recognized NPS mission. I will date each with adobe wall samples using the luminescence technique. This will inform on which of these adobe structures date to (a) the Kino period (1691-1711), (b) 1751, (c) which are Franciscan, or (d) later mining/ranching features.
