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. For more information contact Almira Poudrier at apoudrie@asu.edu.

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.

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. \nThis free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart will be held at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument\, 1100 W. Ruins Drive\, Coolidge\, Arizona from 12 noon to 1 PM; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities.* The 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. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

SUMMARY:Archaeology and Climate Change: Reconstructing El Niño on the North Coast of Peru
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Dr. Gary Huckleberry at the 5th Annual Arizona Scitech Festival at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix at 1:00 PM.* As scientists watch the development of possibly the strongest El Niño in almost 20 years\, the question arises as to how often such weather events happened in the past and what effects they had on ancient societies. Gary Huckleberry will present on-going research from coastal Peru where scientists are studying geological and archaeological evidence for past El Niños and trying to understand their role in the rise and fall of ancient Prehispanic states. Studies that integrate climate change and archaeology provide context to current challenges related to global warming. Gary Huckleberry has conducted 30 years of geoarchaeological consulting and research in western North America and coastal Peru.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart\, which is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and the Pima County Public Library\, will be held on Saturday\, January 23\, 2016 from 11:00 to noon at the Joel Valdez Main Library (101 N. Stone Ave.\, Tucson). The deep time perspective that archaeology and related disciplines provide about natural hazards\, environmental change\, and human adaptation not only is a valuable supplement to historical records\, it sometimes contradicts historical data used by modern societies to make decisions affecting social sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from scientific evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in Arizona and the Southwest eventually surpassed their thresholds of sustainability\, leading to collapse or reorganization of their societies? Could the disastrous damages to nuclear power plants damaged by the Japanese tsunami of 2011 have been avoided if the engineers who decided where to build those plants had not ignored evidence of prehistoric tsunamis? This presentation looks at archaeological\, geological\, and sustainable-agricultural evidence on environmental changes and how human cultures have adapted to those changes\, and discusses the value of a “beyond history” perspective for modern society. For more information contact librarian Matt Landon at 520-594-5565 or matt.landon@pima.gov or contact Allen Dart at 520-798-1201 or adart@oldpueblo.org.Photo of centuries-old Hohokam Indian checkdams on Tumamoc Hill\, Tucson\, AZ.

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought"
DESCRIPTION:“Apaches and Their Horses” dinner presentation will be given by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour on Thursday\, January 21\, 2016 (restaurant to be determined later)\, 6:00-8:30 PM. A traditional Apache story goes that the people did not become the Apache until the adoption of the horse – which is said to have triggered the raiding adaptation. In this presentation Dr. Seymour will address this and many other notions about the Apache and their horses. No doubt\, horses played a central role in the Apachean world but the horse divide is not as pronounced as thought. She will discuss various ways in which horses changed the ancestral Apache lifeway\, how horses survived and thrived without European horse culture\, how horses shaped warfare and intercultural relations\, and how horses were intertwined with family and inter-band relations through horse trading and gambling. While the horse is maintained in contemporary culture\, archaeological traces document the animal’s historical role in rock art\, horse bones\, landscape use\, and artifacts. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’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 PM Wednesday\, January 20.

SUMMARY:"Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery"
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 20\, 2016\, a free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for the Heard Museum Guild’s “history of pottery” series will be held at the Heard Museum’s Steele Auditorium\, 2301 N. Central Ave.\, Phoenix from 10:00-11:00 AM. Dart will show Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific eras in the U.S. Southwest prior to about A.D. 1300\, and discuss how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He will discuss the importance of context in archaeology\, how the things people make change in style over time\, and how different styles are useful for identifying different cultures and for dating archaeological sites. His many illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the American Southwest from about 2\,000 to 700 years ago\, as a prelude to the Heard’s January 28 and February 4 presentations about post-1300 Acoma\, Hopi\, and other Southwestern pottery types.

SUMMARY:“Reverse Engineering Salado Polychrome Pottery”
DESCRIPTION:Andy Ward firing pottery at the 2015 Southwest Kiln Conference; photo by Pam Herring. \nAndy Ward will be give this free presentation and pottery firing demonstration on Museum Day (December 19\, 2015) at Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve\, 3711 W Deer Valley Rd\, Phoenix from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. In the late thirteenth century a new type of pottery called Salado polychrome appeared across a broad swath of the American Southwest. A better understanding of the technology used to create this ware will help answer some of the questions related to Salado as a cultural phenomenon. Potter and independent researcher Andy Ward will discuss how he has used the process of “reverse engineering” to successfully reproduce Salado polychrome and the lessons he has learned along the way. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. No reservations required. For more information contact Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve at 623-582-8007. \n

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought"
DESCRIPTION:“From Hohokam to Salado: The Kayenta Diaspora in the Southwest” dinner presentation with Dr. Jeffery J. Clark on Decemeber 17\, 2015\, 6-8:30 PM at U-Like Oriental Buffet Asian Cuisine\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd. (at River Rd.) in Tucson. Dr. Clark will discuss and illustrate how an estimated 5\,000 to 7\,500 Kayenta people from northeastern Arizona immigrated to and through the Colorado Plateau and Mogollon region during the late 13th century\, some of them ultimately reaching southeastern Arizona where they encountered highly sedentary irrigation communities with variable ties to the Hohokam World. Although the Kayenta were a dispersed minority\, they resisted assimilation and retained some aspects of their homeland identity\, causing some tense initial relations with the populations already living in lands where the immigrants had resettled. After a generation or two\, however\, tensions abated as indicated by widespread exchange of Salado polychrome pottery and obsidian from southwestern New Mexico. \nMake your reservations by calling Old Pueblo Archaeology Center at 520-798-1201. Reservations are required by 3 PM on the day before the dinner because the Fire Code limits meeting room capacity and because the restaurant needs advance notice to schedule their staff. \n20151217(V2)_ThirdThursday_JefferyClark_FromHohokamToSalado-TheKayentaDiaspora

SUMMARY:"Chichén Itzá\, City of the Sacred Well"
DESCRIPTION:This is a free presentation by Dr. Thomas H. Wilson\, sponsored by Phoenix Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix on Friday\, December 11\, 2015 at 7:00 pm. The great site of Chichén Itzá in the northern Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico has fascinated the world ever since the visits of John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood in the 1840s. Archaeological work at Chichén Itzá revealed that many buildings there resemble those found elsewhere in Yucatán\, such as Uxmal\, Kabah\, and Labna\, whereas others are a stark departure from the more common Mayan architecture of the peninsula. Who were the peoples who created one of the great sites of the ancient world? What do the different architectural styles mean? What is the relationship of the Yucatecan sites and the great Maya cities to the south\, such as Tikal\, Yaxhilán and Palenque? Dr. Wilson\, Director of the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa\, earned his Ph.D. studying Chichén Itzá in the 1970s. Join him as he revisits Chichén Itzá based on a recent trip to Yucatán. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact visit http://www.azarchsoc.org/Phoenix/.

SUMMARY:"Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World"
DESCRIPTION:A bronze sculpture to be discussed by Kenneth Lapatin. You’d be surprised by what you don’t see in this cropped photo! \nThis free presentation\, sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Central Arizona Society\, will be held on Thursday\, December 3\, 2015 at 6:00 PM. Presentation will be given by Kenneth Lapatin\, Associate Curator of Antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum and principal organizer of its current exhibition that has united 50 significant bronzes of the Hellenistic age. During the Hellenistic period from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until the establishment of the Roman Empire in 31 B.C.\, the medium of bronze drove artistic innovation. Sculptors moved beyond Classical norms\, supplementing traditional subjects and idealized forms with realistic renderings of physical and emotional states. Bronze – surpassing marble with its tensile strength\, reflective effects\, and ability to hold fine detail – was employed for dynamic compositions\, dazzling displays of the nude body\, and graphic expressions of age and character. Cast from alloys of copper\, tin\, lead\, and other elements\, bronze statues were produced in the thousands: honorific portraits of rulers and citizens populated city squares\, and images of gods\, heroes\, and mortals crowded sanctuaries. Few\, however\, survive. New discoveries appeared with works known for centuries\, and several closely related statues were presented side by side for the first time in this Getty Museum exhibition. This presentation will be held at the Benedictine University\, Main Campus Building Community Room\, 225 E. Main Street\, Mesa\, AZ. For more information contact Almira Poudrier at apoudrie@asu.edu.

SUMMARY:"The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments"
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by archaeologist Deni Seymour is sponsored by the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society\, which will be held on Monday\, November 16\, 2015 at the Banner University Medical Center in the Duval Auditorium (1501 N. Campbell Ave.\, Tucson) at 7:30-9:00 PM. Seymour will present evidence from recent research that ancestral Apaches were in the southern Southwest at least as early as the A.D. 1300s. Some of this evidence comes from chronometric dates obtained from a feature type that comparative ethnographic information (including rarely used land claims documents) indicates were used for storage. These features\, called platform caches\, provide rare and ideal material for accurate dating because they are often covered with grass or leaves. Other evidence (pottery\, roasting pits\, etc.) will also be presented that support a continuous sequence of use from at least as early as the A.D. 1300s through the late 1700s.

SUMMARY:Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians
DESCRIPTION:“Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for “Amazing Arizona” speaker series at Sierra Vista Public Library\, 2600 E. Tacoma St.\, Sierra Vista\, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities* \n1-2 p.m. Free \n \nWilliam L. Deaver photo of Hohokam Tanque Verde Red-on-brown paneled “squash” jar\, smudged with fire clouds \nThe Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries\, and the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Tohono O’odham (Papago) occupied this region historically. Ancient Hohokam artifacts\, architecture\, and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying where the Hohokam lived\, for interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran Desert for centuries\, and explaining why the Hohokam 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\, their time reckoning\, religious practices\, beliefs\, and deities\, and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.
