On a community level\, Royce and Debbie are immersed in planning\, organizing\, and fundraising for an Inaugural Arizona Native Youth Leadership Summit to be held in Fort McDowell Arizona.

SUMMARY:“Arch & Hist Ancestors”
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, April 18\, 2016\, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society\, Raymond H. Thompson will present brief biological sketches of AAHS’s founding fathers.

SUMMARY:“Archaeological Investigations of La Ciudad within the Frank Luke Addition: A Neighborhood Services Department Project”
DESCRIPTION:Logan Simpson Design photograph of Hohokam pithouse excavation at La Ciudad archaeological site in Frank Luke Addition. \nThis free presentation will be given by archaeologists Mark Hackbarth and Chris Garraty\, sponsored by the Phoenix Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix on Thursday\, April 14\, 2016 from 7-9 pm.** Archaeologists Hackbarth and Garraty will discuss recent excavations by the Logan Simpson Design consulting company in Phoenix’s Frank Luke Addition\, near a dense concentration of Classic period materials. The investigation resulted in the identification of a Pioneer and Colonial period habitation area and an area with predominantly Pioneer to Sedentary period field houses. The activities and distinctly different feature types in these areas suggests that patterns of land use and a land tenure system were established by the middle Pioneer period and were sustained over several centuries until the early Sedentary period.  ** This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event\, however\, Old Pueblo members can attend PGMA functions at PGMA‘s member-discount rates\, and vice-versa. For details contact Pueblo Grande Museum at 602-495-0901 or pueblo.grande.museum.pks@phoenix.gov. \n

SUMMARY:“Retablos and Ex-votos: Personal and Public Religiosity” by Gloria Fraser Giffords
DESCRIPTION:Retablo from Gloria Fraser Giffords collection courtesy of the Arizona State Museum\, University of Arizona. \nThis presentation\, given by Gloria Fraser Giffords\, will be held at the Arizona State Museum (ASM)\, 1013 E University Blvd\, University of Arizona\, Tucson on Thursday\, April 12\, 2016 at 3:00 pm (free with museum admission). Conservator and art historian Gloria Fraser Giffords\, guest curator of ASM’s “Intimacy of Faith” exhibit\, will discuss the history\, use\, and artistry of retablos and ex-votos in Mexico. Beginning in the nineteenth century\, testimonies of faith and private devotion in Mexico took the form of oil paintings on small pieces of tin plate that became public displays of efficacy of a particular saint’s protection. In many ways\, the freshness and honesty of these retablos and ex-votos convey an intimate vitality that distinguishes itself from the otherwise formal academic style imported from Europe that permeated nineteenth-century Mexican art. The majority of retablos featured in the exhibit are from the Giffords family collection. Refreshments served.  This program is presented in conjunction with the “Intimacy of Faith” exhibit that runs through the end of May 2016. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact Darlene Lizarraga with ASM at dfl@email.arizona.edu.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought “Hohokam Rock Art\, Mountain Ritualism\, and Social Transformation in the Salt River Valley”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Aaron Wright of a complex Hohokam petroglyph panel. \nThis Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation will be given by archaeologist Dr. Aaron Wright on Thursday March 17\, 2016 at 6-8:30 PM at U Like Asian Buffet Restaurant (330 S. Wilmot Rd.\, Tucson). The South Mountains in Phoenix encompass the largest concentration of rock art in the Hohokam core area. This month’s Third Thursday presentation focuses on this mountain landscape to contextualize and date its rock art\, and to relate it to ritual structure and practice to show how the production and use of Hohokam rock art were ritualized. Presenter Aaron Wright\, who recently authored the award-winning book Religion on the Rocks: Hohokam Rock Art\, Ritual Practice\, and Social Transformation\, argues that the Hohokam rock art was not produced exclusively by religious specialists (shamans) but that there was a more equitable distribution of religious knowledge and ritual power within Hohokam communities. He also presents evidence that most or all of the petroglyphs were created durfing the Hohokam Preclassic era between A.D. 450 and 1050\, and that production and use of the rock art ebbed or even ended at the beginning of the Hohokam Classic period.\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. Wednesday March 16.

SUMMARY:Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians
DESCRIPTION:An Ancient Family? Photograph by Arthur W. Vokes of Hohokam figurines carved from seashell. \nThe Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts\, architecture\, and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying where the Hohokam lived\, interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran Desert for centuries\, and explaining why their culture mysteriously disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates the material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible interpretations about their relationships to the natural world\, time reckoning\, religious practices\, beliefs\, and deities\, and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life\, using rich illustrations of Hohokam arti­facts\, rock art\, and other cultural features. This free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for “History Speaks” series at The Museum of Casa Grande (110 W. Florence Blvd\, Casa Grande\, AZ) will be held on Saturday March 12\, 2016 from 2:00-3:00 PM. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

SUMMARY:"Our America"

Rogers Way\, Tucson at 7:00 pm.* One of our greatest historians\, Dr. Felipe Fernández-Armesto discusses our Hispanic past with insight and wit. The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of England\, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America’s Hispanic past. In his book Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States Dr. Fernández-Armesto\, a British historian of Spanish heritage and history professor at the University of Notre Dame\, recasts the pilgrimage of Hispanics in the United States as a rich and moving chronicle. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic\, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater. Reception follows presentation. This is a presentation of the Arnold and Doris Roland Distinguished Speaker Series made possible by the generosity of Arnold and Doris Roland.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:“Oasis\, Coast\, and Mountain: Land/Waterscapes of Culture and History in the Arabian Gulf”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Professor Steven C. Caton at the 24th annual Sabbagh Lecture at Tucson Marriott University Park\, 880 E. 2nd St.\, Tucson at 7:00 PM.* Our idea of the Arabian Peninsula might be that of an uninhabited (and inhospitable) desert but this obscures a more complex reality encompassing desert oasis\, coastal port settlement\, and terraced-mountain village (to name only the most prominent zones\, each of which has not only had its own environmental and cultural history but has also been intricately connected to the other complementary zones in fascinating ways).  This lecture will look at these zones as “land-water nexuses” where water (ground water\, sea\, and rain) has been made to come into contact with land (desert sand\, beach\, and mountain) by humans to create distinctive land/waterscapes. How has land and water been managed in them historically? How is land and water being managed in them today? And what might we expect of their futures? The lecture will try to answer these questions by combining archaeology\, history\, and ethnography. Steven C. Caton is the Khaled bin Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al Saud Professor of Contemporary Arab Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University. The University of Arizona School of Anthropology presents the annual Sabbagh Lectures on the Arab cultures of the Middle East from an anthropological perspective\, through the generosity of Drs. Entisar and Adib Sabbagh\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact the U of A School of Anthropology at 520-621-2585 or anthro@email.arizona.edu.

SUMMARY:“To Shake or Not to Shake: A New Interpretation of a Devastated Foreign Landscape Depicted at Luxor Temple”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Danielle Phelps\, sponsored by Archaeological Institute of America’s Central Arizona Society and the Arizona Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix\, at 6:00 PM.* On the exterior western wall of Luxor Temple is a carved battle scene amongst the scenes that are depictions from Syria\, dating to the time of Ramesses II (ca. 1291 to 1213 BCE). The scene portrays only a collapsing migdol (a type of Syrian settlement structure) and its associated vineyards and gardens\, which appear broken and uprooted. There are no human or animal figures nor any hieroglyphs which would provide more information about why the ancient Egyptians would depict this type of scene. This presentation will examine the art historical significance of the devastated landscape and propose that the scene depicts the remains of a natural disaster\, an earthquake\, which the ancient Egyptians came upon during their military campaigns\, whereupon they declared an Egyptian victory over the already ruined landscape. Danielle Phelps is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:This exploratory excavation at the Harris site exposed the hearth and entryway of a Three Circle phase kiva and provided evidence that the site’s residents “ritually retired” this kiva before building a much bigger one. Photo courtesy of Barbara J. Roth. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring presentation “Kiva Rituals\, Powerful People\, and Community Development in the Mimbres VAlley\, New Mexico” will be given by UNLV Professor Barbara J. Roth at ULike Asian Buffet Restaurant\, 330 S. Wilmot Rd.\, Tucson on February 18\, 2016 from 6:00-8:30 pm. In this presentation\, University of Nevada-Las Vegas Anthropology Professor Barbara J. Roth explores the role of ritual in the development of communities in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from A.D. 500-1100. Barbara’s recent archaeological excavations at the Harris site pithouse village in the valley has shown the important role of kiva rituals in keeping the community working together. As populations grew\, certain individuals within these communities gained power\, possibly due to their sponsorship of and participation in these rituals and associated feasts. In some communities like the Harris site these powerful individuals were not able to maintain their status\, while in others they used their status to become “core households” as pueblos developed. At the Harris site\, Barbara and her research crews have excavated many pithouses\, two kivas\, and an associated plaza examining the relationships among powerful people\, rituals\, and community development. She will discuss what happened at Harris when this all fell apart and explore the reasons why we don’t see this same thing happening at other sites in the Mimbres Valley\, but instead see the later construction of large Classic period Mimbres pueblos. 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. 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. Wednesday February 17.

SUMMARY:"Tales from the Dark Side: Cave Archaeology in Western Belize and its Implications for the Decline of Maya Civilization”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by Dr. Jaime Awe for Desert Foothills Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, will be held at the Foothills Community Foundation (Holland Community Center)\, 34250 N. 60th St. Building B\, Scottsdale\, Arizona at 7:00 PM* In Maya cosmology\, few locations were (and are) considered more sacred or ritually charged than caves.  Representing portals to the netherworld and places of origin\, these dark subterranean sites also served as the abode for important\, powerful\, and often capricious deities.  The Maya further believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors descended to the watery underworld where they could eventually be reborn.  Caves were thus places of death and creation because of their sacredness both the ancient Maya and their descendants visited and visit these sites to conduct rituals.  Until recently\, intensive scientific investigations of cave sites are rare.  In an effort to address the latter bias\, the Western Belize Regional Cave Project embarked on a multi-year research program designed to ascertain the nature of Maya cave utilization.  By combining ethnographic and ethnohistoric information with data from archaeological investigations\, this presentation provides evidence which suggests that the Maya visited caves in an effort to communicate with particular gods or ancestral spirits and the primary focus of their ritual activities were directed toward sustenance and agricultural fertility\, and that intensified cave ritual in the ninth century A.D. was intrinsically related to factors that led to the decline of Maya civilization.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.
