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/.

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.

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.

Old Spanish Trail\, Vail\, Arizona. Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities Council.* \n2-4 p.m. Free \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. The Hohokam discussion is followed by information about the historical and modern O’odham cultures of southern Arizona\, and how they relate to the Hohokam.
