SUMMARY:.: “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya and Aztec Codices” Adult Education Class
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will be sponsoring a two-session online adult education class\, “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya and Aztec Codices\,” to be taught by ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, Ph.D. These two classes will be held online on Tuesday\, October 4 and Tuesday\, October 18\, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). There is a requested $50 donation ($40 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum). \nMesoamerican codices are documents created by Maya\, Aztec\, and other Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America before and after the Spanish conquest. The codex tradition provided Indigenous peoples with a voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking place all around them. In this Old Pueblo course\, Arizona State Museum ethnohistorian Dr. Michael Brescia examines the manuscript culture of ancient Mexico and what the codices reveal about the political\, economic\, social\, and cultural rhythms of daily life for the Maya and Aztec societies of Mesoamerica. He will tease out multiple dimensions of pre-Columbian Maya society as manifested in codices such as the Dresden Codex and the Grolier Codex\, the latter having only been authenticated by scholars in 2018.  He will discuss links between the Maya codices and scholarly efforts to crack the so-called Maya code (a hieroglyphic writing system)\, and the changes and continuities in Aztec (Mexica) society that are revealed in several codices and writings produced just before and right after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec confederation in 1521. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Tuesday September 27\, whichever is earlier. To register or for more information contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nCaption: A page from Codex Borgia\, ca. 16th century\, central Mexico\, illustration courtesy of the Arizona State Museum\, University of Arizona. \nFlyer: 20221004-1018(v1)_MichaelBrescia_UnderstandingIndigenousMexicoThroughTheCodicesCourse

SUMMARY:“Indigenous Forms of Resistance and Revolt in Colonial Mexico” Online Class
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 14\, 2022\, there will be an “Indigenous Forms of Resistance and Revolt in Colonial Mexico” one-session online adult education class with ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, PhD\, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. This online class will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time)\, with a requested donation of $35 ($28 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum). \nThis two-hour minicourse taught by Arizona State Museum historian Dr. Michael Brescia provides a sweeping conceptual framework for understanding Indigenous resistance under Spanish colonialism. Invoking an all-powerful deity to effect radical changes in the social and political order has deep roots in the Indigenous experience under Spanish rule. Efforts to restore or revitalize cultural identity and promote economic security cut across Mexico’s geography and reveal the extent to which religious understandings of material well-being intersected and conflicted with established political power\, economic systems\, and accepted social norms. Arizona State Museum historian Michael Brescia identifies case studies from Mexico’s colonial period (1521-1810) to illustrate how Indigenous communities filtered their lived experiences through a religious and material framework in an effort to make sense of the challenges and burdens of Spanish colonialism\, and how some of them revolted against colonial rule. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday September 7\, whichever is earlier. To register or for more information contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20220914(v1)_MichaelBrescia_IndigenousFormsOfResistanceAndRevoltsCourse \nCaption: “The Pueblo Rebellion of 1680\,” Federal Arts Project mural completed in 1936 by artist Loren Mozley in Albuquerque NM Federal Building and US Courthouse (Photo courtesy of The Living New Deal\, Department of Geography\, University of California\, Berkeley)

Helen St.\, Tucson.*\n10 a.m. to noon  each Thursday July 7-28; 4-week course fee $85\nIn this course Professor David Soren presents four of his most significant accomplishments from his 50-year career in archaeology. First\, he will discuss his excavations at Kourion\, Cyprus\, where he uncovered a Greco-Roman city buried by the devastating earthquake of July 21\, 365\, which triggered tsunamis so powerful they demolished the Greek coast. Next\, he will tell the story of the agony of Roman emperor Augustus\, which caused him to go with the poet Horace to an exotic spa in Tuscany. Then\, he will reveal the Carthaginians\, whose general Hannibal became a name that still inspires terror in today’s world. Finally\, Dr. Soren will analyze factors that hastened the fall of Rome\, as he presents his new work with the Yale Biomedical Anthropology team about the spread of malaria across ancient Italy.\nDavid Soren is Regents Professor of Anthropology\, Classics\, and Art History at the University of Arizona\, a Fellow of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies\, and Resident of the American Academy in Rome.

SUMMARY:“Technological Wonders of Classical Antiquity”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesdays\, June 1\, 8\, 15\, & 22\, 2016\, this four-week noncredit class will be given by Professor Eleni Hasaki\, sponsored by University of Arizona Humanities Seminars at Helen S. Schaefer Building\, 1508 E. Helen St.\, Tucson.* What were the key technologies and major technical achievements of classical Greek antiquity? This course examines two crucial and interconnected industries: ceramics and bronze-working. The two crafts are often discussed separately\, but this course will focus on their deeply rooted connections. We will examine the qualities of the raw materials used\, the technological know-how of potters and bronze-smiths\, the pyrotechnological principles of their kilns and furnaces\, as well as the social\, political\, economic\, and cultural milieus that promoted their breakthroughs. We will explore their workshops\, toolkits\, apprenticeship structures\, and technological treatises by using ancient evidence (archaeological\, visual\, textual) as well by witnessing their enduring qualities in modern production contexts.\nEleni Masaki is an Associate Professor in School of Anthropology and the Department of  Classics\, and codirector of the laboratory for Traditional technology at the University of Arizona. Her scholarship focuses on the technologies of classical antiquity\, the spatial organization of workshops\, craft apprenticeship\, and the negotiation of social status through crafts. She directs projects in the Mediterranean (Greece. Tunisia) that promote the study of ancient and traditional technologies. 9 -11 a.m. each Wednesday; 4-week course fee $85\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.
