8:30 - 11:30 Session I: Reconsidering Our Views: 20 Years Later, organized and chaired by Paul E. Minnis and Charles L. Redman
This retrospective session that honors our 20th anniversary. Each of the topics from the first Southwest Symposium will be revisited by leading scholars looking both back to our accomplishments and forward toward new directions in research on foraging, mobility and migration, social power and interaction, and research focused on the protohistoric. The session ends with a look at the history of Southwest archaeology (20 minute papers with 60 minutes for discussion)

1:00 - 4:00PM Session II: Movement organized and chaired by Catherine Cameron and Scott Ortman
Movement has been an essential aspect of native land use in the American Southwest for millennia. The papers in this session bring methodological and theoretical issues related to population movement and ethnogenesis into focus by developing comparisons among well-documented cases. Pairs of authors go beyond causal explanations to compare population movement, especially how migrants were integrated into the societies they joined or lived adjacent to in their destinations. Several pairs of authors explore the development of new social formations as a result of population movement. Throughout the papers in this session, movement is seen as an integral aspect of how people define themselves and the land (20 minute papers with 60 minutes for discussion).

8:00 AM - 11:00 Session III: Landscape Change, organized and chaired by Carla Van West and Katherine Spielmann
Landscape change examines the nature and longevity of human modifications to Southwestern landscapes. In the Southwest, human actions have affected soils and biotic communities at varied temporal and spatial scales, and these changes, in turn, have affected various dimensions of human behavior. Papers in this session will explore the consequences of human actions affecting soils, plants, and animals through 1) analyses of archaeological and environmental data linked closely with sustainable subsistence and settlement, 2) analyses of specific archaeological case studies, and 3) modeling of environmental transformations (20 minute papers with 60 minutes for discussion).

2:00 - 5:00PM Session IV: Connectivity organized and chaired by John Kantner
Connectivity refers to the influence of actions and processes across broad spatial and temporal scales. Social change in any area can be understood not just in terms of historical contingency but also as a combination of local, regional, and pan-regional influences, the latter of which may occur at extremely broad scales. In this session, connectivity will be examined as an intentional phenomenon as well as the unintended consequence of change in other places and times (20 minute papers with 60 minutes for discussion).
