A group of 50 volunteer archaeologists aided by the Kansas Historical Society and the Kansas Anthropological Society report new evidence of Coronado era activity in central Kansas. They found five links of Spanish chain mail and hints of grass or thatch houses at a settlement said to house up to 40,000 Indians near here, supporting theories of Quivira sites in the 18th century and linking to Coronado’s 1541 search for the seven cities of gold.
