On September 18 at our first meeting after the summer break Patricia Vazquez shared experiences from her 2024 and
2025 trips to Wales where she volunteered for the Strata Florida Archaeological Field
School.
Pat started with telling us about the location of the site and a little of its history. Strata Florida Abbey was built in the twelfth century as a Cistercian abbey and is the burial site for numerous medieval Welsh princes. It is considered a special place in Wales.
Pat included stories of working on the site with the Strata Florida team as well as her experiences of staying in Wales and interacting with the local residents. Quite interesting.

Patricia Vazquez is currently CCASM's Vice President.
We were really glad that Pat traveled down from New York to speak to us in person. We also had a Zoom meeting set up for others to attend. This was our first time to run the Zoom meeting without Jim being in the room. (Jim attended via Zoom). So we need to work on the Zoom part. Thanks to Jim for setting up the Zoom meeting.
