...rediscovered thanks to the meticulous work of Dr. Don Blakeslee and his team at Wichita State University.

I see. Well in Overland Park, KS., where I grew up, we had a main street called Quivira Rd.

Now Quivira has been rediscovered.

“Now Quivira has been rediscovered.”

Agreed - I grew up in the 60s in Arkansas City KS & was in the Boy Scout council based out of Wichita - the Quivira Council. It seems the real discovery is how widely this group, the Quivirans, were populated while conducting trade over an even greater area. Previous study approached the various groups as independent settlements rather than a widely distributed unique civilization.
