SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought: "Living with the Canals: Water\, Ecology\, and Cultural Memory in Banámichi\, Sonora"
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture in Plaza Juarez/Plaza de la Piedra Histórica (Plaza of the Historic Rock)\, Banámichi\, Mexico\, photo courtesy of Elizabeth Eklund. \nOn Thursday\, February 20\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Living with the Canals: Water\, Ecology\, and Cultural Memory in Banámichi\, Sonora” by anthropologist Elizabeth Eklund at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson. Time: 6 to 8:30 p.m.\, presentation is free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense.). \nRain falls from the sky\, some never reaches the ground\, some runs off down rivers\, and some soaks down into the aquifer. In Banámichi\, northwestern Mexico\, which has a close but uneasy\, centuries-old history with mining operations\, water emerges from a natural spring and flows through a human-made canal system that was modernized in the 1930s and 1940s. The system is older\, but how much older remains unclear. Early explorer Cabeza de Vaca reported an area with permanent houses and many stores of maize and frijoles. One particular historical narrative that emerged from archaeological research in the 1970s and 1980s is currently displayed in Banámichi’s Plaza Juarez/Plaza de la Piedra  Histórica (Plaza of the Historic Rock): a fountain featuring a corn stalk and a boulder supported by four Ópata-inspired figures representing four Río Sonora pueblos founded by Father Bartolome Casteñedos. On that boulder is a petroglyph that William Doolittle interpreted in the 1980s as depicting the pre-Hispanic canals and fields in the floodplain below. That narrative is often repeated today by water managers who attribute the tradition of canal irrigation to the Ópata peoples\, as attested by the petroglyph displayed in the town center. \n        Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. \nLink to flyer: 20200220(v1)ThirdThursday_ElizabethEklund_LivingWithTheCanals

SUMMARY:“Mescal Agave Use in Arizona: Food\, Fiber\, and Vessel” - Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Agaves at sunset photo by Allen Dart \nOn Thursday\, January 16\, 2020\, 6:00 – 8:30 p.m.\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Mescal Agave Use in Arizona: Food\, Fiber\, and Vessel” at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. The presentation is free – order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense. \nThe agave plant\, also known as mescal (not mescaline)\, was used by Native peoples for numerous utilitarian items. Mescal served as a valuable food source still being harvested and prepared to this day by many Indigenous groups. For millennia people have pit-roasted the heart of the plant yielding a nutritious food staple rich in calcium and zinc. This talk includes the life history of mescal\, and the multitude of Tribal uses of this intriguing plant and their long relationship with this plant from centuries ago to the modern era. Guest speaker Carrie Cannon\, a member of the Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and also of Oglala Lakota descent\, is an ethnobotanist for the Hualapai Tribe’s Department of Cultural Resources. Carrie Cannon is a Native American Ethnobotanist for the Hualapai Tribe’s Department of Cultural Resources. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:“Feminist Theory and an Engendered Archaeology: Where We’ve Been and Where We Are Going”
DESCRIPTION:Female ceramic figurine photo courtesy of Suzanne Eckert. \nOn Thursday\, December 19\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature a presentation titled “Feminist Theory and an Engendered Archaeology: Where We’ve Been and Where We Are Going” by archaeologist Suzanne Eckert\, Ph.D.\, in the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist Renewal Center\, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Road\, Tucson. Dinner starts at 6 p.m.\, presentation around 7-8:30 p.m.; dinner is $16 per person\, presentation is free. \nCan’t we study archaeology without modern politics? Did people multi-task in the past? Woman the Hunter – WHAT? How did people figure out how to domesticate plants? If there are only two sexes\, then why is it important to identify third genders in the past? How much strength does it take to flintknap? Is gender difference the same as gender inequality? Why are children and the elderly mostly invisible in archaeological research? Each of these questions can and has been addressed by feminist archaeology and an engendered archaeology. While some archaeologists would argue that feminist archaeology and an engendered archaeology are the same\, other archaeologists have argued for a distinction between the two. Dr. Eckert will present her current perspective on this topic\, discuss the feminist critique of archaeology\, and consider how the study of gender provides for a richer understanding of the past. Along the way\, she will provide examples from archaeological research around the world and anecdotes collected from her 20 years of struggling with this topic.\nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. Tuesday December 17 at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts.\n      IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity send an email to info@oldpueblo.org with “Send December 19 Third Thursday dinner flyer” in your email subject line.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “Excavations at the Creekside Village Archaeological Site near Tularosa\, New Mexico”
DESCRIPTION:Photo of the Rio Tularosa\, courtesy of David Greenwald. \nJoin Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner on November 21\, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, featuring “Excavations at the Creekside Village Archaeological Site near Tularosa\, New Mexico” presentation by archaeologist David Greenwald\, at U-Like Oriental Buffet Asian Cuisine\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd.\, Tucson. \nArchaeological investigations at the Creekside Village archaeological site in south-central New Mexico now demonstrate that the Jornada Mogollon undertook strategies that included intensive agriculture. It is now clear that the Jornada Mogollon people who occupied places such as Tularosa Canyon possessed a much more complex social and ritual structure than previously recognized. Additionally\, they possessed a greater understanding of hydraulic technology and water management strategies that allowed them to focus at a very high level on agricultural production as their primary subsistence strategy. Investigations thus far indicate that strategies involving collecting/gathering and hunting were represented to a limited extent. As investigations have progressed\, it is now apparent that the Jornada Mogollon possessed comparable levels of knowledge and applications as other agriculturalists in the American Southwest during this time. This presentation will demonstrate the level of sophistication that the people at Creekside Village possessed as expressed through their material culture. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “University Indian Ruin: A Classic Period Center in the Eastern Tucson Basin”
DESCRIPTION:Photo of partly excavated Hohokam horno (earth oven) with heating stones\, at University Indian Ruin\, courtesy of Paul and Suzanne Fish. \nOn Thursday\, October 17\, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature “University Indian Ruin: A Classic Period Center in the Eastern Tucson Basin” free presentation by Professors Suzanne K. Fish and Paul R. Fish\, at a Tucson-area restaurant to be announced. \nUniversity Indian Ruin\, one of the most prominent Hohokam platform-mound community centers between A.D. 1200 and 1450\, is located in Tucson’s Indian Ridge Estates neighborhood about seven miles from downtown Tucson. In 1930\, an archaeology student donated a 13-acre portion of this archaeological site to the University of Arizona’s Department of Archaeology for student training. Eminent archaeologists Byron Cummings\, Emil Haury\, and Julian Hayden conducted extensive excavations there throughout the 1930s\, however\, only Hayden’s 1957 investigations in the vicinity of the platform mound have been comprehensively reported. The University of Arizona School of Anthropology Archaeological Field School resumed fieldwork at the site in 2010\, conducting controlled surface artifact collections over the 13-acre archaeological preserve and excavating some of the site’s residential architecture. In our October program\, guest speakers Paul and Suzanne Fish will discuss the recent investigations\, and their insights into the changing regional interaction of the Hohokam Classic period evidenced by the site’s differential acquisition of polychrome pottery and other resources from far away\, including obsidian from distant quarries\, exotic cherts\, and pottery of Zuni and Sonoran origin.\nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "The Manila Galleon and the Opening of the Trans-Pacific West"
DESCRIPTION:Galleon illustration provided by Father Greg. \nOn Thursday\, September 19\, 2019 from 6:00-8:30 pm\, join us for dinner at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant (located at 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson)\, followed by a presentation by Father Greg Adolf who will discuss “The Manila Galleon and the Opening of the Trans-Pacific West.” In this presentation\, local historian Father Greg Adolf will introduce the Spanish Empire’s Manila Galleons – the first  and perhaps most enduring cultural bridge of the trans-Pacific region. The first of the Galleons crossed the Pacific in 1565\, and the last in 1815. During the two and a half centuries between\, the galleons made the long and lonely voyage between Manila in the Philippines and Acapulco in Mexico. The Manila Galleons forever changed the material culture of the Spanish Americas. To the Californias and the Spanish settlements of Arizona’s and Sonora’s Pimería Alta\, they furnished the motive and drive to explore and populate the long California coastline. The Manila Galleon trade impacted every level of Spanish American culture. \nThis presentation is free (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense). Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents "“Whiskey is for Drinking\, Water is for Fighting Over: Spain’s Impact on Law and Natural Resources in the American West”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Whiskey is for Drinking\, Water is for Fighting Over: Spain’s Impact on Law and Natural Resources in the American West” by historian Dr. Michael M. Brescia at a Tucson-area restaurant to be announced. This free presentation will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense). \nWe tend to think that Spain’s historical influence in Arizona and the greater Southwest is confined to language and religion\, but its impact on law and agrarian practices tells us the fascinating story of water and the rhythms of daily life. Despite the 164 years that have passed since Arizona and southwestern New Mexico entered the United States (and 170 years for other places like California and northern New Mexico)\, American Indians and the Hispanic descendants of the first Spanish conquistadors continue to call upon old Spanish law to defend their rights to natural resources. Dr. Brescia examines how the Spanish empire defined property and natural resources during the colonial period\, the reasons why Spanish water rights are taken into consideration by the U.S. judicial system today\, and the inevitable clash that has taken place between two legal systems — American common law and Hispanic civil law – in the adjudication of water disputes in the Southwest.\nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "The Hohokam Landscape during Times of Transition”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Henry D. Wallace showing partial excavation of the ancient Hohokam settlement at the Pima Animal Care Center\, courtesy of Desert Archaeology\, Inc. \nOn Thursday\, March 21\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought dinner presentation will be “The Hohokam Landscape during Times of Transition” by archaeologist Dr. Michael Lindeman. This free presentation will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense.) \nPartially covered by the parking lots and outbuildings of the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC)\, lay a unique piece of the prehistoric Hohokam landscape. Settlement at PACC can be divided into two distinct episodes. The Tortolita phase (ca. A.D. 570-670) occupation corresponds with the founding of Hohokam villages throughout southern and central Arizona. The Late Rincon/Tanque Verde phase (ca. A.D. 1150-1250) occupation occurred during the transition between the Hohokam pre-Classic and Classic periods. Environmental constraints combined with the existing social landscape likely led to the abandonment of the Tortolita habitation at PACC\, but not the place. Investments made in the land and the rights to those lands remained tied to the social group who moved from PACC. Evidence suggests that the floodplain adjacent to PACC continued to be farmed long after habitation at PACC ceased. As pre-Classic villages began to fragment in the 11th and 12th centuries\, people returned to the abandoned settlement at PACC\, drawn by their long-held ties to the land. New habitation structures were constructed within the old plaza\, the physical and social center of the abandoned village. Though not “occupied” for 450 years\, the rights to the farmlands associated with the place had been maintained through time. During a time of social stress\, the holders of those rights\, real or created\, returned. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought" Presents “Layering Diverse Relationships to Place: A View from the Top of Inscription Rock”
DESCRIPTION:“Paso por aqui” pictograph created in 1605 by Spanish explorer Juan de Oñate on Inscription Rock\, now part of El Morro National Monument\, photograph by Kelsey Hanson. \nOn Thursday\, February 21\, 2019\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Layering Diverse Relationships to Place: A View from the Top of Inscription Rock” by Kelsey Hanson. This free presentation (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant located at 5252 S. Mission Road\, Tucson from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. \nTowering high above El Morro Valley in New Mexico\, Inscription Rock is a massive sandstone promontory that has attracted diverse groups of people for centuries. Principally known for its early Spanish inscriptions\, Inscription Rock manifests a deeper\, centuries-long reverence in hundreds of petroglyphs and pictographs\, hand-and-toe-hold trails\, and pueblos. In this talk\, University of Arizona School of Anthropology Ph.D. student Kelsey Hanson addresses the question “How can we both recognize and protect diverse relationships to a single place without privileging some relationships over others?” Drawing from ongoing work to nominate the Inscription Rock Archaeological District to the National Register of Historic Places\, she demonstrates the importance of underappreciated legal mechanisms for layering historic relationships to places. This presentation will highlight the benefits of working with multiple stakeholders and the importance of proactively seeking multiple layers of protection for places of cultural significance. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation “Stalking the Lieutenant: The 1871 Juh-Cushing Ambush Site”
DESCRIPTION:Lieutenant Howard Bass Cushing\, photo courtesy of Arizona Pathfinders \nOn Thursday\, January 17\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center presents “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Stalking the Lieutenant: The 1871 Juh-Cushing Ambush Site” by Dr. Deni J. Seymour. This free presentation will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 pm at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant located at  5252 S. Mission Road\, Tucson (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu.). \nIn May 1871 U.S. Army Sergeant John Mott followed Apache footprints into history. An initial encounter and fallback was followed by an advance\, during which Lieutenant Howard Bass Cushing found his way into herodom\, falling with two others in a remote canyon in Cochise County\, Arizona Territory. This Medals of Honor ambush site has defied discovery\, despite detailed narrative accounts by survivors and a recovery party. Using Apache landscape use and ambush behavior this hallowed location has now been found\, in a discovery that brings into question many long-held misconceptions regarding Apache battle tactics and organization. It also provides important insights into assumptions we bring to our interpretation of narrative accounts\, battlefield behavior\, landscape references\, and weapons in use at the time. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. \n20190117(V1)_ThirdThursday_DeniSeymour_StalkingTheLieutenant

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "300 Years After His Death Father Kino's Sonora and Arizona Missions Live On"
DESCRIPTION:Mission church at Santa Ana Viejo\, Sonora\, Mexico\, viewed from inside a nearby gazebo. Photo by Allen Dart. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought dinner presentation will feature “300 Years After His Death Father Kino’s Sonora and Arizona Missions Live On” by Father Greg Adolf. This special presentation and dinner will be held on Thursday\, December 20\, 2018 in the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist Renewal Center (PRRRC)\, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Rd.\, Tucson. Three hundred years after his death\, Jesuit Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino’s impact on Arizona and Sonora continues to shape the culture and economy of two nations\, as well as the Native American communities in this part of the world. Beginning in 1687\, and continuing for the next 24 years until his death in 1711\, Padre Kino established a string of missions and ranches across the area\, while exploring and mapping an area of 50\,000 square miles. In addition to founding almost two dozen missions and introducing Christianity to thousands of Native Americans\, Padre Kino brought about major changes in the area’s agriculture\, economics\, and\, of course\, the culture. Padre Kino introduced European tools and agricultural methods\, as well as many European fruits and grains to Arizona\, including citrus trees and wheat. The Jesuit also became one of the first and largest cattle ranchers in northern Mexico and southern Arizona\, and he trained many Native Americans to become the first cowboys in the area\, another lasting legacy. Well-known folklorist James “Big Jim” Griffith says that every time we enjoy carne asada or quesadilla\, we are paying tribute to the “Padre on Horseback”! Commemorated with heroic equestrian statues and place names across the Borderlands\, Padre Kino emerges from the historical records as a man of immense vision\, a dedicated “bridge builder” between peoples and cultures\, and a defender of the Native Peoples. \nA free tour of the Picture Rocks petroglyphs will be led by archaeologist Allen Dart at 5:00 pm\, followed by dinner at 6:00 and the presentation from 7:15 to 8:30. Dinner is $16 per person\, payable to Old Pueblo Archaeology Center by check or credit/debit card no later than 5:00 pm\, Tuesday\, Dec. 18\, so that Old Pueblo can tell PRRRC on Dec. 19 how many guests will attend. Donations will be requested during the event to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. Call Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 no later than 5 p.m. Dec. 18 to make reservations and pay for dinner.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought: "“The Peaceful Enemies: Tucson’s Apaches de Paz\, 1786-1873"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 15\, 2018\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology’s Third Thursday Food for Thought as historian Jim Turner presents “The Peaceful Enemies: Tucson’s Apaches de Paz\, 1786-1873.” This free event will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant at 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, AZ. Guests can order their own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu. \n      Apaches de Paz\, the ‘Peaceful Enemies’ (Apachu means “enemy” in Zuni)\, were also known as Manso Apaches. When they immigrated from the Great Plains the Athapaskan-speaking Apache retained their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. That included raiding\, which led to violence and retaliatory attacks. But in 1786 New Spain’s Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez called for a plan that involved forming peace camps for the Apaches. If they agreed to settle in camps near the presidios the Apaches would receive allotments of beef\, blankets\, and guns. The Spanish army also provided the Mansos with horses and used them as auxiliary troops against other Apaches who were still raiding. The Galvez plan was successful for several decades\, and by 1871 there were still more than a hundred Apaches de Paz living near Tucson and others who had intermarried with the Tohono O’odham and lived near San Xavier Mission. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Dinner and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Clovis type Paleoindian projectile point discovered at the Lehner site\, Arizona State Museum photograph courtesy of Vance T. Holliday. \nOn Thursday October 18\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “In Search of the First Americans across the Greater Southwest” by archaeologist Dr. Vance T. Holliday at U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant\, 5101 N. Oracle Road\, Tucson. From 6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu). \nThe First Americans – the so-called “Paleoindians” – were the earliest hunters and gatherers to settle in the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. They lived at a time when the climate was substantially different than today – generally cooler and wetter – and when large mammals of thke Pleistocene epoch such as mammoth\, mastodon\, horse\, camel\, dire wolf\, big cats\, and bears were still around. Clovis type projectile points made by the earliest known Paleoindian groups in the region some 13\,500-13\,000 years before present (BP) have been found with the remains of mammoth and other extinct megafauna. Paleoindian sites of the Folsom culture that succeeded Clovis ca. 13\,000-12\,000 years BP are rare in southern Arizona and Sonora but more common on the Colorado Plateau of northern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico\, in the Great Plains\, and they are locally quite dense along the greater Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico and southern Colorado. By Folsom time most of the Pleistocene megafauna were extinct except for Bison antiquus\, and Folsom people apparently became expert hunters of those now-extinct bison. Even younger Paleoindian sites of the 12\,500-11\,000 years BP era also are known from the Rio Grande region but they seem to be fewer than Folsom. By those late Paleoindian times the climate was significantly warmer and drier than during the Clovis or Folsom periods and human adaptive behavior was likely shifting toward more sedentary “Archaic” lifestyles with increased focus on plant gathering and use of local resources. \nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:“Frida's Roots: Understanding the Course of Mexican History through Frida Kahlo and Her Artwork”
DESCRIPTION:Painting of Frida Kahlo by the artist GEMDIAZ titled “Homenaje a Frida Kahlo” courtesy of Michael Brescia.     \nOn Thursday\, September 20\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Frida’s Roots: Understanding the Course of Mexican History through Frida Kahlo and Her Artwork” by Dr. Michael M. Brescia at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\,10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. This event will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. and is free (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu). \nAs one of several artists to emerge from the violence and chaos of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920\, Frida Kahlo’s lived experiences fashioned a remarkable artistic talent that promoted across international borders mexicanidad\, or the spirit of a Mexican cultural identity. Despite living in the professional shadows of her famous husband\, the muralist Diego Rivera\, Frida added deeply personal elements to her artwork that simultaneously reflected and contributed to historical understandings of Mexican culture. In a richly illustrated PowerPoint presentation\, Arizona State Museum historian Dr. Michael Brescia will examine Frida Kahlo’s life and show just how intimately her artwork reveals the sweep of the Mexican historical experience\, from Pre-Columbian times to the mid-twentieth century. \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:“Canoa Speaks O’odham”
DESCRIPTION:NOTE LOCATION CHANGE: “Canoa Speaks O’odham” free lectures and video presentation on Saturday\, May 19\, 2018 at Historic Hacienda de la Canoa\, 5375 S. I-19 Frontage Rd.\, Green Valley\, Arizona. Co-sponsored by the Friends of Canoa\, Arizona Humanities\, and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. This event will be held from 1:00-2:30 p.m.\, with a $10 suggested donation. \nHistorically\, the Canoa vicinity of the Santa Cruz River valley south of San Xavier del Bac was an important stop for travelers\, offering a constant source of water in the dry Sonoran Desert. Historic maps from the time of Father Kino (1690s) show a “water hole” in this valley segment and later maps associate it with “canoas\,” hollowed-out cottonwood logs used as troughs to supply fresh drinking water. To date\, very little historical information has been shared about this region\, which from early times had been inhabited by Sobaípuri\, Akimel\, and Tohono O’odham who trace their ancestry to the more ancient Hohokam and Middle Santa Cruz archaeological cultures. In 2013\, Pima County acquired the 4\,800-acre property that includes the historic Canoa Ranch and began efforts to restore the ranch headquarters and open it to the public for tours\, fostering a demand by the public to know more about the region’s history. This year the Friends of Canoa Heritage Foundation teamed with Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center to help meet this demand by producing a series of four short “Canoa Speaks O’odham” video segments narrated in both English and the O’odham native tongue\, since language preservation is a key element for this project. Each video shares rare insights into the traditions of the O’odham\, and combined cuts from each of the short videos have been incorporated into a longer video that will be shown for the first time at this May 19 public lecture and movie event. Old Pueblo’s Executive Director Allen Dart will open the program with a presentation about the archaeology of the Canoa area\, and Adam Andrews\, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation’s San Xavier District\, will follow with a discussion of modern San Xavier and Tohono O’odham Nation education\, government\, and cultural affairs. The event culminates in the “Canoa Speaks O’odham” video to encourage audience discussion on language preservation and tribal communications. Subsequently the videos will be published online at www.VisitCanoa.comt to complement information shared in the recently completed heritage interpretive-signage project at the Interstate-19 Canoa Rest Area. \nFor more information contact Dawn Morley at 520-289-3940 or inspired@visitcanoa.com. \nMap created by Pima County GIS Maps showing the limits of the historic Canoa Ranch south of Tucson in 1953.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought  - "El Camino del Diablo"
DESCRIPTION:Deceptive desolation of El Camino del Diablo\, photo provided by Butch Farabee. \nOn Thursday March 15\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “El Camino del Diablo\, The Devil’s Highway” by retired National Park Service Superintendent Charles R. “Butch” Farabee at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. This free presentation (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) is from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. \nOn the National Register of Historic Places\, El Camino del Diablo\, The Devil’s Highway\, is a brutal\, 200-mile long\, prehistoric and historic route from northern Sonora to Yuma\, Arizona\, then on to the mission areas of California. Used for at least a millennium by Native Americans\, conquistadores\, Father Kino\, miners\, undocumented aliens\, and modern-day adventurers\, El Camino crosses three large federal areas in the extreme desert of southern Arizona\, which is the focus of this presentation. A reputed 400 to 2\,000 lives have been lost traveling along our very own\, isolated and wild part of the Arizona-Mexico border\, most from heat\, exposure\, and a desperate lack of water. Join Butch Farabee\, who has driven this remote\, four-wheel drive road six times\, for a part history\, part travelogue\, and part informational overview of this fascinating but humbling area. \nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Cochise and Bascom\, How the Apache Wars Began”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring “Cochise and Bascom\, How the Apache Wars Began” free presentation by historian Doug Hocking at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona\, from 6:00 to 8:30 pm; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. In 1861\, Lieutenant George Bascom confronted Chiricahua Apache leader Cochise demanding the return of the abducted boy\, Felix Ward (aka Mickey Free). The epic 14-day affair\, 70 soldiers surrounded by 500 Apaches rescued by the timely intervention of the cavalry\, ended in blood with hostages slain on both sides. Congress recognized Dr. Bernard Irwin\, who rode with 12 men to relieve the beleaguered soldiers\, with the first Medal of Honor. Historians have come to credit Bascom with starting a war. This talk explores the circumstances that led to the confrontation and how blame came to rest on the lieutenant. Speaker Doug Hocking is an independent scholar who has completed advanced studies in American history\, ethnology\, and historical archaeology. In 2015\, he won the Philip A. Danielson Award for Best Presentation. Doug\, who served in Military Intelligence and retired as an armored cavalry officer\, grew up among the Jicarilla Apache and paisanos of the Rio Arriba. Doug writes both fiction and history. His work has appeared in True West\, Wild West\, Buckskin Bulletin\, Roundup Magazine\, and the Journal of Arizona History. Doug on the board of the Arizona Historical Society\, Cochise County Historical Society\, the Oregon-California Trails Association\, and Westerners International. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.\nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "The Ancient Hohokam Ballgame of Arizona"
DESCRIPTION:An excavated and reconstructed Hohokam ballcourt at the Pueblo Grande archaeological site in Phoenix; photograph provided by Todd W. Bostwick \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner on Thursday\, January 18\, 2018\, from 6:00-8:30 pm\, will feature the presentation “The Ancient Hohokam Ballgame of Arizona” by Dr. Todd Bostwick. The ancient Hohokam culture of Arizona constructed at least 200 ball courts more than 800 years ago. These oval depressions were likely used to play a ball game that originated in southern Mexico\, where the game was played with a rubber ball and had a very important role in reenacting the creation of humans in this world. This presentation will describe the recorded Hohokam ball courts located within Hohokam villages scattered throughout Arizona\, summarize what archaeologists propose they were used for\, and discuss how these public structures may relate to what is known about the Mexican rubber ball games\, which are still played today. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities. \nThis free presentation will be from 6:00-8:30pm at U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd.\, Tucson (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu). Reservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham"
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham: The Sobaípuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community” presentation and video by Deni J. Seymour\, Tony Burrell\, and David Tenario at U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd. (at River Rd.)\, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. This free program is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu.) \n \nOver the last couple of decades much has been learned about the Sobaípuri O’odham who inhabited southern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and San Pedro valleys at the dawn of written history. However\, their actual history differs substantially in many ways from commonly held notions. The archaeological and ethnohistoric research of the presenters provides new perspectives on where and how they lived\, how long they occupied the valleys of southern Arizona\, their relationship to the ancient Hohokam\, and other topics. Special reference will be made to the Sobaípuri of San Xavier del Bac (Wa:k)\, where descendant populations reside. Dr. Deni Seymour is joined by her associates\, Elder Tony Burrell and Cultural Specialist David Tenario of Wa:k\, in presenting their video entitled “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham?” followed by interactive lectures and discussions. Through these means they strive to promote understanding of the human experience through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham and their ancestors. Using discussions and interviews with Wa:k O’odham community members\, the video and subsequent discussions highlight the issues of how public policy\, politics\, and economic interest have influenced our understanding of the Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage has been shaped and in some cases erased. This program is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center.\nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Reservations must be requested before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "Great Moments in Dendrochronology: Important Achievements of Tree-Ring Science"
DESCRIPTION:Tree-ring cross-section photo courtesy of The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Great Moments in Dendrochronology: Important Achievements of Tree-Ring Science” by dendrochronologist Dr. Paul R. Sheppard at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona\, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. As a scientific discipline\, dendrochronology\, otherwise known as tree-ring science\, is just over 100 years old. In that time\, several important scientific findings have been achieved that can be considered “great moments” (a nod to Disneyland and Mr. Lincoln). It is useful to review great achievements of science in their own right\, as they usually have interesting twists and turns along the way from start to the point of being identified as important. Additionally\, reviewing multiple great moments allows for identifying shared characteristics between them that make them great and therefore could serve as guidelines for current and future research to strive to meet to also be considered notable\, i.e.\, great. We’ll look into a couple great moments of dendrochronology of the past as well as a current research project that might attain the level of being an important achievement.\nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” on Thursday\, September 21\, 2017\, 6-8:30pm will feature archaeologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright who will present “Hohokam/Patayan to O’odham/Yuman: The Cultural Landscape of the Lower Gila River.” \nThe lower Gila River is a complicated cultural landscape. Though for many this remote region in southwestern Arizona is a terra incognita\, over millennia\, different cultural traditions ebbed and flowed along the river’s banks\, with generation after generation leaving their mark on the rocks and in the sand. Major rock art sites\, such as Sears Point and Painted Rock\, attest to the depth and richness of this cultural landscape. In this Third Thursday Food for Thought\, Dr. Wright will cast contemporary light on the archaeology and post-contact history of the lower Gila River. This talk will draw on recent research emerging from ongoing efforts to establish a Great Bend of the Gila National Monument. Dr. Wright will provide an overview of that effort\, and detail how collaboration with descendant communities is helping to refine broader understanding of contemporary tribal connections to this landscape. \nThis free presentation will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, in Tucson.  Reservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:Some pueblo rooms exposed during recent excavations at the Elk Ridge site: photograph courtesy of Barbara Roth \nOn Thursday\, February 16\, 2017 from 6-8:30 pm\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner presentation will feature “New Insights into Mimbres Pueblo Communities: Excavations at the Elk Ridge Site” by archaeologist Barbara Roth at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. Excavations in 2015 and 2016 at the Elk Ridge archaeological site\, a 200-room pueblo dating to the Classic Mimbres period (AD 1000-1130) have provided new insights into Classic Mimbres period pueblo communities. The Elk Ridge site has a sad history\, as it represented the only unlooted large Classic Mimbres pueblo until the owner of the southern portion of the site bulldozed his section prior to the passage of the New Mexico state burials-discovery law. Fortunately\, a portion of the site located on US Forest Service land remains nearly intact\, although recent damage from an arroyo cutting through the western portion of the site has exposed some pueblo rooms. Dr. Roth\, along with project co-director Dr. Darrell Creel\, has been conducting excavations of rooms exposed along this arroyo.  Their work\, and excavations directed by William Russell and Karl Laumbach on the south end of the site after it was looted\, have begun to provide new insights into this important pueblo community. In this presentation\, Dr. Roth presents some of the initial findings of their work at Elk Ridge.\nGuests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. Because seating is limited in order for the program to be in compliance with the Fire Code\, those wishing to attend must call 520-798-1201 and must have their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date.\n**** IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity please reply with “Send flyer” and INCLUDE THE EVENT’S DATE in your email subject line. \n
