SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “A Globalized Past? Long-Distance Exchange and Interaction in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 19\, 2026\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “A Globalized Past? Long-Distance Exchange and Interaction in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest” by archaeologists Christopher W. Schwartz\, Ph.D. and Ben Nelson\, Ph.D. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.  ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time) and sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, P.O. Box 40577\, Tucson AZ 85717. \nExchange is a fundamental human behavior. While today people rapidly exchange goods and information over great distances\, in the past long-distance exchange required the mobilization of vast networks of interaction. This talk examines the long-distance relationships between people living in the U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest (SW/NW) with people living to the south in Mesoamerica and West Mexico. Specifically\, it will explore the material evidence (or lack thereof) for long-distance interaction at SW/NW archaeological sites\, the significance of those objects and materials\, and the larger intellectual debates surrounding this topic. Dr. Christopher Schwartz is the City of Phoenix Archaeologist and holds a Visiting Faculty appointment at Arizona State University. Dr. Ben A. Nelson is Professor Emeritus\, School of Human Evolution and Social Change\, Arizona State University. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_77TI8ibqRLuHq3fUU9Xahg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "But is it Art?"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 19\, 2026\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center invites you to attend the “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom program featuring the presentation “But Is It Art? Historical Debate and Indigenous Perspectives on Rock Imagery” by anthropologist Aaron M. Wright\, Ph.D. This free presentation will be held at 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nOver the past 75 years\, the study of petroglyphs and pictographs has developed into an independent field\, supported by its own organizations\, publications\, and shared terminology. During this time\, the term “rock art” became widely used to describe human-made images and markings on stone surfaces. However\, this label has prompted ongoing debate. Many people – particularly Indigenous communities – question whether the word “art” accurately reflects the meaning\, purpose\, or cultural significance of these images. While some researchers\, land managers\, and descendant communities accept the term for practical reasons\, others view it as misleading\, limiting\, or disrespectful. \nDrawing on recent research\, this presentation addresses the issue through two studies. A review of publication titles since 1865 shows that “rock art” is just one of many terms used by professionals and is relatively recent. A survey of federally recognized Tribes further reveals broad\, though not universal\, dissatisfaction with applying the term to ancestral petroglyphs and pictographs. The take-away message is that\, in an era when decolonizing scholarship is a moral imperative\, researchers and organizations should work with Tribes to develop language that is accurate\, respectful\, and meaningful to all. \nDr. Aaron M. Wright is a preservation anthropologist with Archaeology Southwest\, a nonprofit organization based in Tucson. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ePzBxoVHQKK-9MArg0ZvSg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Petroglyphs\, Pottery\, and Painting in the Ancient Southwest“
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s 20th anniversary of “Third Thursday Food for Thought” will feature “Petroglyphs\, Pottery\, and Painting in the Ancient Southwest“ by archaeologist Kelley Hays-Gilpin\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, January 15\, 2026 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (Mountain Standard Time). \nPlease join us this month in celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” public presentations series! The first presentation in the series was “Hohokam Ruins\, Reservoir\, & Canals along Silverbell Road in Marana [Arizona]” by archaeologist Arthur MacWilliams\, on January 19\, 2006! (But\, historical note: the Third Thursday series was an outgrowth of an earlier “First Mondays” series that began on November  1\, 2004 with a presentation titled “American Indian Elders: Our Birthright!” by Arizona Humanities guest speaker Evangeline Parzons-Yazzie.) \nFor this January 2026 twentieth anniversary Third Thursday presentation\, inquiring minds at Old Pueblo (and probably elsewhere) wanted to know about the similarities\, or lack thereof\, of visual imagery (aka “art”) on pottery vs rock imagery (rock paintings and engravings\, petroglyphs) in the archaeological record of the Southwest. Archaeologist and prolific author Dr. Kelley Hays-Gilpin will explore this question using design examples from across Arizona and New Mexico in the period from the earliest painted pottery on the Colorado Plateau through the 1300s\, and will discuss some ideas about what the overlaps and differences in visual design repertoire might tell us about community organization and interactions. Spoiler: textile images are important as well. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_m_Clj43rRjuTCIHylJI-mQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Inhabitants of an Archaeological and International 'Frontier': The Precolonial History of the Santa Cruz Valley and the Arizona-Sonora Borderlands”
DESCRIPTION:Join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation on Thursday\, December 18\, 2025\, featuring “Inhabitants of an Archaeological and International ‘Frontier’: The Precolonial History of the Santa Cruz Valley and the Arizona-Sonora Borderlands” by archaeologist Hunter M. Claypatch\, Ph.D. This free program via online Zoom will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. \nSouthern Arizona’s Santa Cruz River valley was one of the most important regions in the precolonial Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico. In the arid Sonoran Desert\, this nearly 300-kilometer river provided an oasis for early hunter-gatherers and later sedentary populations. While the northern portion of the Santa Cruz cross-cuts present-day Tucson and has been subject to considerable archaeological research\, the majority of the river’s southern portion has been little-studied. In this presentation\, Dr. Hunter Claypatch highlights the rich cultural history of the river’s southern portion\, or Upper/Middle Santa Cruz. This portion of the river crosses the U.S.-Mexico border\, has evidence for material culture that spans several thousand years\, and served as a “contact zone” for precolonial Hohokam and Trincheras populations. \nUsing excavated ceramics\, Dr. Claypatch gives special attention to the region’s occupation between 700 and 1300 CE. During this time local inhabitants were dynamically shaped by regional cultural interactions but also created their own unique cultural florescence and forms of expression. \nDr. Hunter Claypatch is a ceramicist who has worked extensively with precolonial pottery on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico international border. He specializes in the Trincheras tradition of northern Sonora and the precolonial inhabitants of present-day Santa Cruz County\, Arizona. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0aPpBP5mQfOBSad66Tu03Q.

SUMMARY:“An Expedition Torn Asunder: O'odham Responses to the Coronado Expedition” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 20\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “An Expedition Torn Asunder: O’odham Responses to the Coronado Expedition” by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. \nResearch on the Coronado expedition in southeastern Arizona has revealed that the O’odham were central to the way the expedition moved across the landscape. Usually focus is on how disruptive the expedition was to Native populations\, but this presentation explores how effective forms of culturally specific O’odham resistance impacted the expedition.  Impacts were clearly reciprocal\, but the role of the O’odham has been underestimated. In her previous presentations and articles\, Dr. Seymour laid out an initial framework for interpreting documented events using new data. Further revelations are now available on the resistance mounted within O’odham and expeditionary contexts.  This presentation delves even deeper into the circumstances of the first series of contacts between the Sobaípuri O’odham and the Coronado expedition. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_68TDeAIvQ8iZx0ypBFYDTw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Reconstructing the Biographies of Culture and Power in Conquest Mexico: Malinche\, Hernán Cortés\, and the Origins of Indigenous-Spanish Relations”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 16\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation will feature “Reconstructing the Biographies of Culture and Power in Conquest Mexico: Malinche\, Hernán Cortés\, and the Origins of Indigenous-Spanish Relations” by historian Michael M. Brescia\, Ph.D. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time [same as Pacific Daylight Time]). \nDr. Michael Brescia establishes the nature and scope of biography as a tool to uncover the historical experiences of Indigenous peoples and Spaniards in the early days of cross-cultural contact and exchange\, followed by the violence of conquest\, demographic collapse of Native communities due to Old World diseases\, and the racial and cultural mixing (mestizaje) that took place in its aftermath. As an exemplar\, he will examine the lives of Malintzin – often called La Malinche in history textbooks – the Indigenous woman who served as an interpreter and was the mistress of the Spanish conquistador\, Hernán Cortés\, and how their relationship revealed the complexities of Mesoamerica and early modern Spain. \nThis presentation will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:“A Cat’s Tale: How Domestic Cats Came to the Americas” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On September 18\, 2025\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring the presentation “A Cat’s Tale: How Domestic Cats Came to the Americas” by archaeologist Martin H. Welker\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom program will be held from 7:00-8:30 pm\,  ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe domestic cat (Felis catus) is both one of the most popular pets and companion animals\, and one of the least studied domesticated animals. Cats are variably portrayed as cute and fuzzy pets\, lauded for their effectiveness as mousers\, or vilified for their role in the decline and extinction of small native species. Despite their popularity and impacts on human society\, they have received relatively limited study by archaeologists. In many ways\, this likely reflects cats’ own independence and solitary nature. For much of human-cat coexistence\, cats have been left to their own devices\, hunting the mice and rats drawn to human settlements at will. As sailors began undertaking longer and longer voyages\, they came to rely on cats to keep down the mice and rats aboard ships. Because of this\, cats were likely one of the earliest Eurasian domesticates to catch sight of the New World. In this lecture we will explore the domestication of cats in the Near East\, their spread in Europe\, and their arrival in the New World. Dr. Martin Welker is the Associate Curator of Zooarchaeology for the Arizona State Museum and an Associate Professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QnAgXGbISwumggNu8TEa1A.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Copper Networks in the U.S. Southwest\, Mexican Northwest\, and Mesoamerica”
DESCRIPTION:On August 21\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program presents “Copper Networks in the U.S. Southwest\, Mexican Northwest\, and Mesoamerica” by archaeologist José Luis Punzo Díaz\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 pm\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe emergence of metallurgy\, especially copper\, took place in western Mesoamerica a little over a thousand years ago. This new type of objects was quickly appreciated by the societies of the time and integrated into long-standing exchange networks that spanned thousands of kilometers from the earliest production sites in western Mexico to the southwestern United States. In this presentation\, we will explore the exchange networks for these objects and how they changed over time\, with special emphasis on the relationships between the southwestern U.S. and Mesoamerica. Dr. Punzo Díaz has been an archaeology researcher for Mexico’s Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH\, the National Institute of Anthropology and History) since 2004. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HpXYeO5-T4mCAUcpW0UvZg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “The Great Rock-Art of Chaco Canyon”
DESCRIPTION:On July 17\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will present “The Great Rock-Art of Chaco Canyon” by rock-art specialist Jane Kolber. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m.\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe reason for “The Great” in the title of this presentation is because the Chaco Canyon region has Great Rock-Art panels in addition to Great Houses and Great Roads. Hundreds of books and articles have been written about Chaco Canyon and its archaeological treasures. It is renowned throughout the world. However\, until recently Chaco rock-art has been almost completely ignored. Why is that? \nA partial answer is its invisibility. Southwestern U.S. rock-art is often created on surfaces with a dark coating\, which emphasizes the images carved into the rocks. In contrast\, very few of the cliff walls and boulders in Chaco Canyon have patinated surfaces so images on them are difficult to see. In addition\, many of the most impressive panels are located high on cliff faces where an observer rarely looks. \nIn this presentation Jane Kolber will show and discuss a nearly 30-year research project\, still on-going\, that has shown that Ancient Chaco rock-art is unadorned and dominated by the spiral and animal motifs\, that there also is significant later Navajo (Diné) rock-art in Chaco Canyon\, and that Chaco rock-art continues to be damaged. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pHJyyP3QS-esirVI7Q3VbA.

SUMMARY:“Beyond Any One Scholar’s Expertise: The Story of the Safford Valley Grids Archaeology Project” Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On June 19\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” will present “Beyond Any One Scholar’s Expertise: The Story of the Safford Valley Grids Archaeology Project” by archaeological geographer William E. Doolittle. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nExpansive tracts of rock-bordered grids atop Pleistocene terraces north of the Gila River in the Safford Valley\, Arizona mystified archaeologists and others for nearly a century. From 1994-1998 a team of multidisciplinary scholars sought to uncover their age and function. Unlike most archaeological presentations\, this one discusses that project from the perspectives of people involved. The findings of the Safford Grids project are interesting and important\, but perhaps not as much as how this project was conceived and carried to fruition for what can only be described as bargain basement funding. \nBill Doolittle is the Erich W. Zimmermann Regents Professor Emeritus\, Department of Geography and the Environment\, The University of Texas at Austin. He has conducted archaeological and geographical research in the American Southwest and México\, authoring four books and scores of journal articles and book chapters. \nJim Neely is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology\, The University of Texas at Austin. He is recognized worldwide for his research on ancient water management in Iraq\, the Tehuacán Valley in México\, and in the American Southwest. Among his greatest discoveries were the Perron Dam caves containing the earliest evidence of maize cultivation and miles of travertine-encrusted relic canals. Jim also participated in the University of Arizona’s last archaeological field school at Point of Pines and excavated canals with Richard Woodbury at the Park of Four Waters in Phoenix. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GMkDywG9ScWx7ybhO2uL_A.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Archaeological Humbugs: Exposing Frauds\, Busting Myths\, and Solving Mysteries”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 15\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “Archaeological Humbugs: Exposing Frauds\, Busting Myths\, and Solving Mysteries” by archaeologist Kenneth L. Feder\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIs the archaeological record of North America a lot weirder than traditional researchers would have you believe? Is there\, for example\, archaeological evidence that giant human beings lived just outside of Syracuse\, New York\, in antiquity? And what do Mark Twain\, L. Frank Baum\, and P.T. Barnum have to say about it? Did a contingent of the Lost Tribes of Israel visit New Mexico\, maybe a couple of thousand years ago\, marking their presence by etching the Ten Commandments in Hebrew onto a boulder southwest of Albuquerque? Or maybe did ancient Jews leave Hebrew inscribed artifacts in an Ohio burial mound? Did Native Americans paint pictographs depicting a pterodactyl and maybe also extraterrestrial aliens in Utah? Archaeologist Kenneth Feder\, PhD\, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology\, Central Connecticut State University in New Britain\, will reveal the shocking\, hidden truth underlying these archaeological mysteries. Dr. Feder is the author of Frauds\, Myths\, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology (Oxford University Press\, 2020\, 10th edition); The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory (Oxford University Press\, 2020\, 9th edition); Native American Archaeology in the Parks (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2023); Archaeological Oddities: A Field Guide to Forty Claims of Lost Civilizations\, Ancient Visitors\, and Other Strange Sites in North America (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2019)\, and several other books. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RGsaXYHZQ6exeatF2qJ3rw.

SUMMARY:“An Incredible Family History Unearthed: How a Search for the Past Can Redefine the Present and Future” Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 17\, 2025\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring “An Incredible Family History Unearthed: How a Search for the Past Can Redefine the Present and Future” by historian Blanca Carrasco. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nBlanca Monica Marina Garza Enriquez Espinoza Perez Crispin Tijerina Cortez Salinas\, who was born in Torreón\, Mexico and has lived in El Paso\, Texas for over 30 years\, once was told that many of her last names might have Sephardic and/or crypto-Jewish origin. Looking into why\, she learned that her biological father is a descendant of Marcos Alonso de La Garza y del Arcon\, co-founder of Monterrey\, Nuevo Leon\, Mexico\, a center for crypto-Jews since Spanish Colonial times. In his lineage\, she found Constanza de la Garza\, possibly her 13th grandmother\, a crypto-Jew who was tried by the Spanish Inquisition and died in house-arrest. Finding this ancestry strengthened Blanca’s spiritual and community commitment and sense of connection\, and turned out to be a life-changing experience that took her from the Catholic Church to Judaism\, a religion that originally seemed distant and foreign. She learned that finding one’s roots can shape a person’s sense of self and their life choices. This presentation dares ask: “How does one truly identify ethnicity? How do we claim our heritage?” In short\, the question “How did I get here?” is as important as “Who am I?” \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R1DWgzhuStiUP_8VdMzttA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation “Crossing the Akimel to Snaketown: The Ancestral Connection to Modern Day O’Odham”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “Crossing the Akimel to Snaketown: The Ancestral Connection to Modern Day O’Odham” by archaeologist Reylynne Williams (Akimel O’Odham). This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe O’Odham village of Snaketown is located on the Gila River Indian Community and situated north of the Gila River within the respective District Four Stotonic Community. When Akimel O’Odham archaeologist Reylynne Williams accepted Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s invitation to give this presentation\, she wrote\, “Snaketown was infamous for the archaeology conducted in 1934-35 and 1964-65 expeditions but not for its connection with the Akimel O’Odham of the Gila River Indian Community. Let’s go on a journey together experiencing the life\, sounds and culture of the Akimel O’Odham at Snaketown. \nThe 1930s and 1960s archaeological excavations at Snaketown that defined the “Hohokam archaeological culture” were conducted with little input from Indigenous Akimel O’Odham (the River People) of the Gila River valley who count Snaketown’s ancient residents as their ancestors. In this presentation Ms. Williams\, the Gila River Indian Community’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer\, will discuss what Snaketown means to the O’Odham. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nrvhg5O2SAWtZm0M7bx1Mg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest” by HDR Archaeologist Kevin P. Gilmore\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, January 16\, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThe timing and routes taken by the ancestors of the modern Ndee (Apache) and Diné (Navajo) on their journey south from northern Canada to their current territory in the south has been a matter of speculation since the linguistic relationship between the northern Dene (Athapaskan speakers) and Southwest Apachean speakers was identified more than 100 years ago. Within the last decade\, a three-piece Subarctic style BSM type 2(Bb) moccasin associated with proto-Apache Promontory phase migrants has been identified in museum collections from an increasing number of archaeological sites throughout the eastern Great Basin\, Southwest\, and Western Plains margin. Several recent publications documenting the direct dating\, archaeological context\, and materials analysis of these artifacts have provided more nuanced understanding of the story of the Dene arrival in the traditional territory of the Ndee and Diné. In this presentation\, Kevin Gilmore will discuss factors that may have influenced the initial move to the south by Apachean ancestors\, as well as when and how a relatively small group of people with a Subarctic adaptation became differentiated into the Ndee and Diné. Dr. Gilmore\, the Archaeology Program Manager at HDR in Englewood\, Colorado\, has published on the archaeology of eastern Colorado\, proto-Apache migration\, precontact population\, geoarchaeology\, gender in precontact Plains society\, landscape archaeology\, and the paleoenvironmental records found in “pocket fens” in eastern Colorado. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BVkljyx5SIm3W0YWvYz2Nw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Chichilticale in 1539: The Long-Sought Coronado Expedition Site in Arizona”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, December 19\, 2024\, please join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online program featuring the presentation “Chichilticale in 1539: The Long-Sought Coronado Expedition Site in Arizona” by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour\, PhD. This free Zoom online presentation is from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nChichilticale has been the most sought-after site of the Francisco Vázquez de Coronado Expedition in Arizona. One reason for this is because it was a named place that was expected to be in Arizona. It was also an important way station along the route\, a place stopped at more than once and for several days\, before moving through the final wilderness. Importantly\, and less known\, the expedition’s Senior Captain Melchior Diaz stayed there for two months in the winter of 1539-1540. Chichilticale now has been identified and represents a substantial campsite with hundreds of metal Coronado expedition artifacts including diagnostic nails\, crossbow bolt heads\, copper bells\, lace aglets\, and more. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nWEHLwkKQgmgIYD-YhnjKw.

SUMMARY:“Unsung Heroes: Search and Rescue – First Responders – Southern Arizona\, 1901-2000” Online History Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 21\, 2024 join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring “Unsung Heroes: Search and Rescue – First Responders – Southern Arizona\, 1901-2000” history presentation by National Park Service Superintendent Emeritus Charles R. “Butch” Farabee\, Jr. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nNovember 15\, 1958: Tucson suffered the second greatest snowfall on record. Three young Boy Scouts tragically perished hiking nearby. Nearly 750 searchers – mostly volunteers – were involved for 19 days\, the largest search in Arizona history. Butch Farabee was one of them. How and why did rescue teams first organize in this country? What about regional fire departments and sheriffs’ departments’ first responders? Local ambulance services were first run by funeral homes. Paramedics came on the scene with what popular 1970s TV show? The Civil Air Patrol began a week before Pearl Harbor\, saving hundreds of thousands since. Military and hospital medivac services started in 1947. Life-saving results came of Titan missiles and the Border Patrol. When and where did “911” begin\, and Why Arizona’s “Stupid Motorists’ Law”? This program is based on Butch’s recently finished 599-page book\, which is FREE\, digital\, and online. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VSALZFjKQqmYSH3M0RQ3Tw.  For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20241121(v1)ThirdThursday_ButchFarabee_Search&Rescue \nCaption: 1958 headlines of Tucson’s Morning Newspaper \n

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “New Archaeological Insights from Ancient DNA”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 17\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “New Archaeological Insights from Ancient DNA” by archaeologist/geneticist Jakob W. Sedig\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn this talk\, Jakob Sedig will explore how ancient DNA (aDNA) data generated by the Proyecto de Investigación de Poblaciones Antiguas en el Norte y Occidente de México (PIPANOM) are providing new insight on the people who lived in central\, western\, and northern Mexico hundreds and thousands of years ago. Data from over 300 individuals spread across Mexico\, including from sites such as Tzintzuntzan\, Cueva de los Muertos Chicos\, and Paquimé\, have shed light onto long-standing questions about migration and interaction of different archaeological cultures in key eras of Mexico’s past. Jakob will also discuss how the PIPANOM dataset has revealed previously unknown information about the individuals who lived at these sites\, and how combining the PIPANOM dataset with previously published aDNA data from across the Americas allows researchers to understand better the movement and interaction of different groups across cultural boundaries. Finally\, he will review how PIPANOM has brought together archaeologists\, geneticists\, researchers\, analysts\, and students from different backgrounds and countries. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_C3NGISHpTHu6toJcKuVf4w.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Archaeology on the Rocks: Investigating an 18th-century Spanish Land Grant”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “Archaeology on the Rocks: Investigating an 18th-century Spanish Land Grant in Tijeras Canyon\, NM” by archaeologist Kelly L. Jenks\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn 1763\, New Mexico’s Spanish colonial Governor Cachupín approved an application by 19 petitioners for a grant of community land east of Albuquerque in Cañón de Carnué\, now known as Tijeras Canyon. The grantees were expected to defend these lands by building a fortified plaza. The governor also stipulated that these lands were to be used for agricultural purposes. Seven years later Apaches attacked this settlement and the survivors fled the canyon. When they refused to resettle\, they were ordered to go back and destroy their homes. The New Mexico State University Archaeological Field School resurveyed the site of this 18th-century plaza in 2021  and returned in 2022 to do test excavation\, stabilization work\, and more survey\, and to investigate artifacts from a 1946 field school at this site. These projects offer intriguing new insights into who these people were\, why they settled in this place\, how they made their living\, and what happened when they left. Dr. Kelly Jenks is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Director of the University Museum at NMSU\, Las Cruces. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-8T9UIlZTvGhAQZoDsF6KQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “An Embarrassment of Riches: Tree-Ring Dating and the (Mis-)Interpretation of Southwestern Archaeology”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 15\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “An Embarrassment of Riches: Tree-Ring Dating and the (Mis-)Interpretation of Southwestern Archaeology” by archaeologist Stephen E. Nash\, PhD. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00-8:00 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn December 1929\, National Geographic Magazine published new tree-ring dates for a small\, select group of archaeological sites in the American Southwest. For the first time ever\, archaeologists then knew how old those sites actually were\, but the annually resolved dates often proved difficult to interpret when compared to other archaeological data\, which cannot be as finely resolved with respect to dating and time.  Ever since then\, however\, southwestern archaeologists have been blessed with an incredibly rich\, and still growing\, database of calendar-year tree-ring dates to guide their analyses. Unfortunately\, our interpretations often play fast and loose with the underlying data\, and our interpretations may not be as reasonable as we might think. In this presentation\, Dr. Stephen E. Nash will examine the history of southwestern archaeological tree-ring dating to explore what might\, or might not\, be reasonable to infer from large sets of tree-ring dates. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gmON_cDdS2WmPfniPv2Gsg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Envisioning a Cultural Landscape”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 18\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “Envisioning a Cultural Landscape” by cultural astronomy researcher Greg Munson. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGreg Munson (Society for Cultural Astronomy in the American Southwest) will discuss new ways to record\, document\, and visualize the cultural landscape of the Greater American Southwest. The program emphasizes the SCAAS Cultural Landscapes Survey Program\, which has tribal consultation as a key component. At the center of the program is expanding the concept of the archaeological site boundary to include resources from the local environment\, relationships to nearby villages\, how the architecture relates to the more distant landscape\, and a building’s alignment to horizon features such as mountain peaks. SCAAS studies the connection of a site to astronomical cycles and features in the day and night sky\, and explores new technologies for the visualization of buildings and the landscape like the use of dynamic panoramas\, 3D modeling\, and infographics. Its goals include establishing a common method of documenting and visualizing links between ancestral peoples and the land and sky that surrounded them so that we can better understand that we live in a unified cultural landscape\, inseparable from its parts. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_F8OZjRaARXC5n_njJZ7yJg.

DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 20\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “The Gypsum Overlook Paleo-Archaic Archaeological Site in New Mexico’s White Sands” by archaeologist Matthew Cuba\, MA. This free online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – same as Pacific Daylight Time. \nGypsum Overlook is an archaeological site on southern New Mexico’s White Sands Missile Range\, situated in the Tularosa Basin on the eastern shore of the now dry Paleo Lake Otero. Archaeological excavations there identified three or possibly four habitation structures\, five hearths or roasting pits\, and flaked and ground stone artifacts dating to approximately 8\,800 years ago during the transition from the Paleoindian to Early Archaic period. The cultural features and assemblage at Gypsum Overlook provide one of the earliest records of Early Holocene housing structures and ground stone assemblages in New Mexico and the greater Southwest\, as people began to diversify their subsistence patterns to adapt to the drying and warming post-Pleistocene climate. The unique integrity of the site’s setting and buried archaeological material preserved its features in stunning detail\, allowing an uncommon and rare view of the Paleo-Archaic adaptation in the Southwest. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9b7Yc2L2RrenZu-tWlq4Wg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “’Of Noble Kings Descended’:  Colonial Documents and the Ancient Southwest”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday May 16\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “’Of Noble Kings Descended’:  Colonial Documents and the Ancient Southwest” by archaeologist Stephen H. Lekson\, PhD. The free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m.\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nEarly Spanish and Mexican records may have much to tell us about the ancient Southwest.  Those records\, of course\, recount events and conditions of their times\, but many also contain startling information apparently relevant to older places like Chaco Canyon and Casas Grandes.  From Villagrá to von Humboldt\, Dr. Lekson will review a number of “possible/potential/probable” insights for deeper history found in early colonial documents\, and will contextualize these in light of Native accounts and archaeological data. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__Np83er-RGaBcugjFIAuwA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Zoom Presentation: “Interaction on the Northern Mogollon Frontier: Perspectives from the Cañada Alamosa”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 18\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature  “Interaction on the Northern Mogollon Frontier: Perspectives from the Cañada Alamosa” by archaeologist Karl W. Laumbach. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe Cañada Alamosa is a spring-fed canyon located on the northeastern edge of the Mimbres Mogollon world. The Ojo Caliente or Warm Spring supplies 2\,000 gallons per minute\, ensuring a perennial flow to the Rio Alamosa as it flows to the Rio Grande. Separated by 50 miles and the imposing Black Range from the Mimbres Mogollon cultural center\, the canyon’s well-watered position on a “zone of interaction” between the Mogollon and Ancestral Puebloans resulted in a unique cultural sequence from the pithouse period up to the abandonment of the canyon in the 14th century reflecting a variety of local interactions as well as changes in their respective centers. Karl Laumbach’s archaeological career in southern New Mexico since 1974 included direction of the Human Systems Research nonprofit organization’s Cañada Alamosa project. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_J1BZ0X4DRN-qDvxO4h60Tg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “In Search of a Borderland: Archaeological Patterns of Northwest Mexico and Neighbors”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 21\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought program presents “In Search of a Borderland: Archaeological Patterns of Northwest Mexico and Neighbors” by archaeologist Matthew C. Pailes\, PhD. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn this presentation Matthew Pailes will review recent archaeological research in Northwest Mexico\, a region frequently invoked as a tierra incognita in grand schemas of continental history. Was it the origin point for major social movements? A source or destination of populations known from the US Southwest? Or even more basically\, is there continuity in traditions from the US Southwest to Mesoamerica? Thanks to decades of work by Mexican and international archaeologists we can now begin to place Northwest Mexico in its rightful place in continental scale narratives. This review will span the traditions of Northwest Mexico\, focusing most on the Sierra Madre Occidental. New data suggest this region presents a unique story of persistent occupation for millennia\, avoiding the boom and bust political cycles of many neighbors and resisting incorporation into the religious and political tumult that characterized much of the 1200 to 1400s in the US Southwest. Dr. Pailes\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, University of Oklahoma\, has done extensive archaeological research in Sonora\, Chihuahua\, and Arizona. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hLrnZPIESWmns2V-0qk67g.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “The Perils of Dyhydrogen Monoxide – Challenging Hembrillo Canyon 1880 Myths of the Apache Wars”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, January 18\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s  “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation with historian Robert N. Watt\, PhD\, who will discuss “The Perils of Dyhydrogen Monoxide – Challenging Hembrillo Canyon 1880 Myths of the Apache Wars.” This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThis month’s Third Thursday presenter Dr. Robert N. Watt\, University of Birmingham\, UK\, completed his trilogy on the Victorio Campaign of 1877-1881 in 2019 after almost 20 years of research. His presentation will challenge several myths concerning the two engagements between the US Army Ninth Cavalry and Apaches led by Victorio in southern New Mexico’s Hembrillo Canyon and Basin between April 5 and 7\, 1880. Historic records tell of the drinking of tainted water and overnight siege of Captain Henry Carroll’s two Ninth Cavalry companies in Hembrillo Basin on April 6-7\, 1880\, and include Lt. John Conline’s detailed report of a skirmish between Company A\, Ninth Cavalry\, and Victorio’s warriors on April 5 of that year. Archaeologist Karl Laumbach’s archaeological and archive research has shown that these accounts are inaccurate. Historian Robert Watt’s archive research supports Laumbach’s conclusions and challenges additional myths that the US Army knew the location of Victorio’s camp and that the operation to trap Victorio was undermined by Captain Carroll attacking too early. \nFollowing up on Laumbach’s work\, Bob Watt has found that the US Army’s letters and telegrams sent and received prior to this operation also tell a very different story than that which was entered into the official record after the event. He has published articles on this conflict in Small Wars and Insurgencies (2002)\, The New Mexico Historical Review (2011 and 2022)\, War in History (two articles in 2011)\, The Southwestern Historical Quarterly (2015)\, and in an article in The Journal of Military History (2016) that was awarded the Moncado Prize. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6SsyU2ahQjiGYtBUfQG18g.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "“Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:Join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation on “Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine” by anthropologist Sharonah Fredrick\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, December 21\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nArchaeological finds\, colonial Spanish chronicles\, and most importantly\, the living memories of tribal elders in Central America\, South America\, and the American Southwest demonstrate not only extraordinary botanical medical knowledge\, but understandings of surgery and osteopathy that contradict stereotypes of Native peoples as always and only practicing “spiritual” medicine. It is spiritual\, mental\, and deeply physical\, and has been so for millennia. Through understanding the causal links between spiritual\, physical\, mental\, and environmental factors\, Native medicine systems\, when allied with Western holistic and conventional medicine\, have been able to produce superb results for health and well-being. How can we learn from these systems\, how can we respect Native science without appropriating it\, and what are the connections between the stories of the Cosmic Twins in Native cultures and their healing abilities for human mental health? The Hopi\, Mayan\, and Andean Yauyo cultures are all characterized by village autonomy and diversity of thought and theory regarding their own beliefs\, a trait that has previously only been associated with so-called Western societies. The importance of the Twin metaphor and its connections with healing focus on the need to find continual balance between shifting polar opposites that are life itself. In this view\, health is based on balance\, not elimination of the bad. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y2LAfUJbRxCmfvZqWegrmg.
