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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “The Gypsum Overlook Paleo-Archaic Archaeological Site in New Mexico’s White Sands”
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.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Interests Program to Feature “Wa’alupe: Yaqui Village in Phoenix Urban Sprawl”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” program will feature “Wa’alupe: Yaqui Village in Phoenix Urban Sprawl” presentation by Octaviana V. Trujillo (Yaqui)\, PhD. This free Zoom online will be held on Tuesday\, November 14\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nYaqui Indian families came from Sonora\, Mexico\, to Arizona’s Salt River Valley in the 1880s to labor in the agricultural fields\, railroads\, and mines. They formed their villages on the outskirts of cities. This is how Guadalupe came to be. We have been known to be hard workers\, strong minded and of good heart. The Tempe community knew how important we were to the growth and sustainability of their city. Many today remember how Guadalupe was so far away from any city\, we had so many open spaces to play and have our fiestas for baptisms\, weddings\, birthdays\, and ceremonies. There was no Interstate 10 or the largest shopping mall of Arizona.  Just cotton fields\, orchards\, Japanese flower gardens\, a small crop duster airfield and our monte near us. Many good memories of play\, smells\, and place. This presentation will take you to the beginning of our village\, now our cemetery. Guadalupe is still here\, it has persisted and flourished during the most challenging times; the people will make sure it endures. \nOctaviana Trujillo is founding Chair and Professor Emerita in the Department of Applied Indigenous Studies at Northern Arizona University and former Chairwoman of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom webinar series provides Native American presenters with a forum for discussing issues important to Indigenous peoples today. The series is hosted by Old Pueblo board of directors members Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné)\, Anabel Galindo (Yaqui)\, and Maegan Lopez and Samuel Fayuant (Tohono O’odham). \nTo register for the program go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_b75fQ5VDRbmN31tcK_LEZQ. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20231114(v1)IndigenousInterests_OctavianaTrujillo_Wa’alupe_YaquiVillageInPhoenixUrbanSprawl (1) \nCaption: 1909 – Old Guadalupe Yaqui Matachini Dancers\, photo courtesy of Octaviana V.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Program Presents “Scientific Evidence for Tonto Basin Salado Polychrome Pottery Production and Exchange”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought program will feature “Scientific Evidence for Tonto Basin Salado Polychrome Pottery Production and Exchange” by Mary F. Ownby\, PhD. This free Zoom online presentation\, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, will be held on Thursday\, October 19\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe importance of Salado Polychrome pottery for understanding fourteenth-century population dynamics in the Southwest cannot be underestimated. This ware was clearly significant in the assimilation and adaptation of migrant groups into local populations in southern Arizona and New Mexico. Arizona’s Tonto Basin was an important area of Salado Polychrome production and exchange. Chemical (neutron activation analysis) and petrographic analyses of both decorated and utility ware vessels from six Tonto Basin sites illustrate the complexity of Salado Polychrome production and consumption. The results show there were multiple pottery production locations (though one is clearly dominant) and significant exchange among sites in the basin. The use of raw materials atypical of Hohokam ceramic traditions may indicate some Salado Polychrome was made by migrant potters. This study is an example of how Salado Polychrome pottery research continues to clarify how migrant groups settled into their new homes and utilized pottery as a form of cultural connection amongst themselves and their local friends. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_i3aLfJ0wTr2i-89axO3QCQ.  For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20231019(v1)ThirdThursday_MaryOwnby_ TontoBasinSaladoPolychrome \nCaption: Thin section petrographic image in cross-polarized light\, and Cliff Polychrome (a Salado type) bowl\, photos courtesy of Mary Ownby

SUMMARY:“The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 21\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program will feature “The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites” by applied anthropologist and archaeologist Brian W. Kenny. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGeorge McJunkin\, who is widely known today as the original discoverer of a fossil bone deposit exposed after a devastating 1908 flood in Wild Horse Arroyo near Folsom\, New Mexico\, died in Folsom in January 1922. The “Folsom site” he discovered turned out to be where archaeologists in 1927 first confirmed the antiquity of humans in the Americas based on direct association of in-situ stone tools and Pleistocene bison bones. The Folsom site has been examined in popular and academic works\, but among professional archaeologists there are generalized and continuing disputes regarding the type and extent of credit and recognition McJunkin should receive for our early historical understanding of the Folsom site. McJunkin was born a slave in Texas\, was emancipated\, and left home as a young man to become a cowboy in west Texas. He learned his trade from Mexican vaqueros and was known for superior cowboy skills and some wild adventures as he worked in the big cattle outfits that moved stock up from Texas\, New Mexico\, and Colorado to the transcontinental Overland Route. After the Colorado and Southern Railroad was completed in 1888 he settled near Folsom\, patented a homestead\, built a house in town\, and worked for local ranchers. He was well respected by the local community and became a ranch foreman and leader of Black and Mexican cowboys working for New Mexican ranchers.  During his time there\, McJunkin built a number of ranch facilities\, many of which are now obsolete\, abandoned\, or reused in alternate ways. These sites\, their contents\, and the nature of their construction\, use\, and abandonment hold the key to investigating McJunkin from alternate perspectives. From 2021-2023\, a century after McJunkin’s passing\, Brian Kenny and colleagues initiated archival\, ethnographic\, and archaeological research in the Folsom community. In Old Pueblo’s September Third Thursday presentation\, Kenny will tell how the members of “Team McJunkin” have visited and documented known McJunkin sites using basic methodologies of community ethnography\, archival research\, landscape scale characterization\, and archaeological survey\, and how team members are currently reviewing their field results and preparing for journal publication. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0SwzVEeWTdGHvp1Qyh_Wsg.

SUMMARY:“The 1541 O’odham Annihilation of Vázquez de Coronado’s Southern Arizona Townsite and Other New Coronado-Era Discoveries” Online Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 17\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “The 1541 O’odham Annihilation of Vázquez de Coronado’s Southern Arizona Townsite and Other New Coronado-Era Discoveries” presentation by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour\, Ph.D. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe Arizona Coronado Project continues to astound as expedition sites are found in improbable valleys\, as evidence reveals encounters with unexpected Native groups\, artifacts are uncovered in Arizona that are unknown from other Coronado sites\, and excavated archaeological features demonstrate the beginnings of a permanent European settlement. There is also clear evidence of the battle\, described in documents\, that annihilated the region’s first Spanish townsite and contributed to the termination of the 1539-1542 Coronado expedition as a whole. Dr. Deni Seymour is an award-winning author of seven books and over 110 articles. In addition to her previous discoveries of the site where Apache Chief Juh ambushed US Army Lt. Cushing the 1871 and several important Spanish colonial period sites\, recently she has identified five archaeological sites of the Coronado expedition on four stream drainages. \nAt Dr. Seymour’s request\, Old Pueblo will not post or distribute a recording of this presentation.\nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wwC9iKfWROOXPQM6e-OWYg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “’O’odham Place Names: Meanings\, Origins and Histories”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 20\, 2023\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation featuring “’O’odham Place Names: Meanings\, Origins and Histories” by Harry J. Winters\, Jr.\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nWhen he was 14 or 15 years old\, Harry Winters\, Jr.\, came across John D. Mitchell’s 1953 book Lost Mines and Buried Treasures along the Old Frontier. Mitchell’s tales inspired him to become a geological engineer in the mining industry\, partly because of his interest in mathematics\, physics\, geology and engineering\, but also because mining geology (which he calls “modern prospecting”) offered the opportunity to roam the deserts and mountains. He began prospecting and camping in the Arizona desert\, and in 1956 he and his friend Ted McIntyre drove into the  Tohono O’odham Nation lands (then known as the Papago Indian Reservation). Eventually their 1947 Plymouth got stuck in a narrow wash and an ’O’odham man came over to see what had happened. That fellow\, Enos Miguel\, didn’t speak English and the boys didn’t speak ’O’odham\, but Enos could see what was needed so walked over to his house\, brought out a shovel and some boards\, and soon Harry and Ted were on their way. Enos was Harry’s first of many O’odham friends made over the next six-plus decades. Combining those friendships with his interest in geology and Native place names\, Harry learned the ’O’odham language\, spoke with lots of ’O’odham about their knowledge of the landscape\, and eventually authored the 1\,002-page (not counting the 56 pages in the table of contents and other front matter) tome ’O’odham Place Names: Meanings\, Origins and Histories\, Arizona and Sonora\, Second Edition (2020\, SRI Press\, Tucson). In this month’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation\, Dr. Harry Winters\, Jr.\, recounts some of his travels and shares some of his deep knowledge of the ’O’odham landscape lore on both sides of the modern US-Mexico border. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e0QYkHObRfCvES3XfFiESg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "A Photo Essay of the Apache Surrender”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 15\, 2023\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation featuring “A Photo Essay of the Apache Surrender” by historian Bill Cavaliere. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nUsing a comparison of old photographs with recent ones taken of the same places\, Bill Cavaliere will discuss the Chiricahua Apaches and their early frontier photographers\, with the emphasis on C. S. Fly\, Ben Wittick\, and A. Frank Randall. Cavaliere travelled far and wide to locate the scenes where the 1800s shots were taken. Some were very easy to find\, such as the photographs taken at Fort Bowie\, while others were more difficult\, especially ones taken by Tombstone photographer C. S. Fly in Cañon de los Embudos in northern Sonora\, Mexico\, which entailed modern-day driving on rough four-wheel-drive roads through remote areas disputed by rival drug cartels. Bill’s obsession was finding the location of Fly’s famous “Council Photo” that depicts Geronimo and other hostile Apaches negotiating peace terms with General George Crook and his soldiers. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-FSKZAk5RIeSw_mIj9vc7Q.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “Making and Breaking Waves: Feminist Thought in Anthropology’s History”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 18\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation will feature “Making and Breaking Waves: Feminist Thought in Anthropology’s History” presentation by anthropologist Ruth Burgett Jolie\, 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 some circles\, “the F-word” is “feminism”- a dirty word not to be discussed in good company. Yet\, feminism\, the political movement advocating for women’s rights on the grounds of political\, social\, and economic equality\, is an important concept to discuss as it is influenced by the social context in which we live. Feminism has impacted our day-to-day lives as well as anthropology as a discipline. This presentation provides a brief history of feminism in the United States\, considers how feminism has impacted anthropology\, and concludes with a discussion of how anthropology has impacted feminism. Dr. Ruth Burgett Jolie is Associate Curator of Education at the Arizona State Museum and affiliated Associate Professor of Anthropology in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. \n                To register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O9eeHOzDTFqHrcPrNGiaBw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “The Civilian Conservation Corps in Southern Arizona and the Creation of a Transformed Landscape”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 20\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation will feature “The Civilian Conservation Corps in Southern Arizona and the Creation of a Transformed Landscape” by archaeologist William B. Gillespie. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. \nThe Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is widely recognized as one of the most successful of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal programs that helped bring the country out of the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Some 3.5 million unemployed young men enrolled to work outdoors to protect forests\, alleviate erosion\, and develop the infrastructure of thousands of parks. The CCC was particularly active in southeastern Arizona\, with nearly 40 camps\, each occupied by approximately 100-200 enrollees\, in use at various times between 1933 and 1942.  Several agencies took advantage of CCC work crews to make improvements: The US Forest Service focused on fire prevention and constructing new roads\, the National Park Service and Arizona’s Pima County emphasized developing infrastructure for recreation\, the newly established federal Soil Conservation Service performed extensive erosion-control work\, and the less well-documented Indian Division of the CCC employed many O’odham workers to develop new water sources for livestock. Throughout the parks\, forests\, and deserts of the region\, the legacy of the CCC is still very much in evidence. Guest speaker Bill Gillespie is a retired Coronado National Forest archaeologist. \n                To register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_thTCtZ4TTN2Ie7V-HF7spw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Program - “cyberSW: A Digital Gateway to Explore Southwestern US/Northwestern Mexico Archaeology”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 16\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”  program will feature “cyberSW: A Digital Gateway to Explore Southwestern US/Northwestern Mexico Archaeology” presentation by archaeologists Jeffery J. Clark\, PhD\, and Joshua Watts\, PhD. 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). \ncyberSW is a large graph database and open access web platform to facilitate exploration of the US Southwest/Mexico Northwest archaeological record by a variety of audiences. (Actuql archaeological site locations are masked.) cyberSW has been developed over the course of 20 years by combining a number of regional databases\, many funded by the National Science Foundation\, that have focused on reconstructing precontact demographic trends\, migration\, social networks\, and identity. In addition\, data from many cultural resource management projects as well as unpublished sources and new analyses have been added. The current version of cyberSW contains standardized information\, at the archaeological site level\, of room counts and occupation span from more than 22\,000 settlements\, 16 million ceramic records\, 17\,000 geochemically sourced obsidian artifacts\, and 1200 sites with ceremonial or public architecture. The next version\, currently under development in collaboration with a Tribal Working Group\, will enhance resolution to the household\, cultural feature\, and stratum level and will have the capacity to add virtually all classes of nonmortuary archaeological data using standardized classification schemes. This presentation will discuss the history of cyberSW\, demonstrate some of the capabilities of the current web platform\, and explore short- and long-term future directions. Audience participation and feedback will be encouraged. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rMpNlJmVShqy3nJ4w5EiTA.

SUMMARY:“One Hundred Years Plus of Prescott Culture Archaeology” Online Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday February 16\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation will feature “One Hundred Years Plus of Prescott Culture Archaeology” presentation by archaeologist Andrew L. Christenson\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (Mountain Standard Time). \nThe Prescott area in west-central Arizona has gone from a period of first serious notice in the 1920s\, to fairly extensive excavation on late sites by J. W. Simmons and the University of Arizona in the late twenties and early thirties\, to pretty much disappearing into the 70s when Prescott College was active in the area and Marvin Jeter was working in Copper Basin. At the same time professionals were returning to serious interest in the area\, an amateur\, Franklin Barnett\, moved to Prescott and began excavating local pueblo sites\, the largest of which was Fitzmaurice Pueblo\, previously worked on by J. W. Simmons and Louis Caywood. Barnett had a close relationship with the Museum of Northern Arizona\, whose archaeologists did his ceramic analyses and where parts of his collections remained after his publication of the reports. The collections were transferred to the Smoki Museum\, now Museum of Indigenous People\, about 10 years ago. This talk will briefly review the history of research on post- 1100 sites in the Prescott area and examine some of the results of reanalysis of selected parts of previous collections from Fitzmaurice. We have been particularly interested in what the remains on room floors tell us about activities at the site in the latter part of its occupation and what the inhabitants may have done to close the village upon leaving it. Andy Christenson has been a professional archaeologist of Arizona for 50 years\, with breaks in southern California and Illinois\, and is now curator of the Museum of Indigenous People. \n                To register for the Zoom meeting go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0BTJvr8LTFqX7HF-DDYLhA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "The Fremont Frontier: Southwestern Cousins or Great Basin Copycats?”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, January 19\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought will feature “The Fremont Frontier: Southwestern Cousins or Great Basin Copycats?” presentation by archaeologist Katie K. Richards\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nFor decades\, archaeologists have debated how best to interpret the Fremont region that is located along the far northern extreme of the North American Southwest. Peoples living there demonstrated both a distinct connection to and isolation from their Puebloan neighbors. Around 1000 CE many southwestern traits – aggregated villages\, painted pottery\, and surface architecture – appeared suddenly in the Fremont region accompanied by an influx in population. Fremont material culture has clear parallels to the early Pueblo II period in the Four Corners region. However\, despite significant changes in the northern Southwest’s pottery styles during the PII and PIII periods\, Fremont potters continued using the same\, Pueblo II-esque designs for roughly 300 years. Because of the Fremont’s unique position\, its material remains often have presented as an intriguing and confusing syncretic blend of “southwestern” and “other.” This has led many Fremont archaeologists to downplay similarities between the two regions\, choosing instead to focus on Fremont as a local development with occasional southwestern innovations diffusing north. Dr. Katie Richards argues\, instead\, that Fremont is best understood when resituated as the northern periphery of the Southwest. Examining Fremont within the context of the social changes that occurred during the Pueblo II and III periods presents an engaging history of identity creation and maintenance not evident otherwise. \n                To register for the Zoom meeting go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GRULhg8RRciCef2fIiI8vg.

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought" Presentation: "Tracking the First Americans across the White Sands"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, December 15\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “Tracking the First Americans across the White Sands” presentation by archaeologist Vance Holliday\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThe question of when people first arrived in the Americas\, based on scientific evidence\, has been argued for decades and even centuries. For many years the conventional answer was about 13\,000 years ago with the appearance of people who made distinctive artifacts called Clovis points (named for a famous archaeological site near Clovis\, New Mexico). Other sites have been proposed as being older than Clovis. A few early occupations ca. 14\,000 to ca. 16\,000 years old were about the oldest well-documented sites accepted by most (but not all) archaeologists. The White Sands locality changed that for many archaeologists. The site provides convincing evidence that humans were in what is now southern New Mexico between 23\,000 and 21\,000 years ago. That is the oldest obvious case we have. Human activity in the form of footprints is quite clear and numerous and the dating is solid. At other sites considered older than Clovis\, often there are debates over the age or presence of humans\, which is usually based on interpretations of broken rocks or bones as tools. The time range for the tracks at White Sands is significant because it puts people in the Americas during the last Ice Age\, which means they were likely here sooner\, before the last Ice Age covered essentially all of Canada from coast to coast maybe 25\,000+ years ago. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WaNXdpOkRqarLzJO17MXgQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: "Navajo Pueblitos of Dinetah"
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online program will feature “Navajo Pueblitos of Dinetah” by archaeologist Ronald H. Towner\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online presentation will be held on Thursday\, November 17\, 2022 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nPueblitos\, as the name implies\, are small masonry structures. In the ancestral Navajo homeland of Dinétah in northwestern New Mexico\, more than 250 such structures and associated hogans have been documented. Once the pueblitos were thought to be the result of a massive immigration of Pueblo people fleeing the Spanish\, but research in the past 2+ decades demonstrates significant variation in these sites over time. This presentation describes the variations and suggests important implications for understanding Diné (Navajo) cultural development and land use in the 18th century. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sFf5AoLqTdmHnY-wPEggew.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presention - "The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 15\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” will feature “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?” presentation by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles\, Jr. This free online Zoom program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \n“Sinagua” is the name first coined in 1939 to refer to the pre-European people who inhabited the Flagstaff region of north-central Arizona. But what\, exactly\, does this mean? Does Sinagua refer to a geographic area\, a specific kind of pottery\, an actual grouping of people\, or is it something else? These are difficult questions this presentation will attempt to explore. The Sinagua archaeological area of Arizona has been considered a cultural “frontier\,” characterized as a blend of other cultures\, yet unique enough to warrant its own cultural designation. However\, over the years\, this uniqueness dissolved as old interpretations were no longer satisfactorily explaining what archaeologists were finding. By the 1960s\, new areas of study and new explanatory models were developed. However\, these paradigm shifts have failed to satisfactorily answer the questions posed by past interpretations. These shifts beg the major questions: Who were the Sinagua\, how do they fit into the “Big Picture” of Southwest prehistory\, and what happened to the culture? In order to bring closure to these questions\, archaeologists need to explain how past questions have been . . . not exactly the wrong questions\, but they need to be re-fitted and examined under a different lens\, focused by degrees of scale. This presentation will attempt to illustrate these different approaches\, as well as to demonstrate that the concept of “Sinagua” is both fact AND fiction. \nArchaeologist Peter Pilles has studied the Southwest’s Sinagua archaeological culture for decades. In this presentation (rescheduled from March 17 when he was unable to share his PowerPoint file) he will give an overview of Sinagua and how it related to the surrounding\, contemporary Hohokam\, Mogollon\, Ancestral Pueblo\, and Patayan cultures. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hLUS_B7-R_exp0XxQAKrBw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “The Full Story of Pueblo Grande (or at Least a Few Chapters)”
DESCRIPTION:On August 18\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program will feature “The Full Story of Pueblo Grande (or at Least a Few Chapters)” by City of Phoenix Archaeologist Laurene Montero. This free presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nPueblo Grande is one of the last remaining precontact Hohokam villages with an intact platform mound – or va’aki – in Arizona’s lower Salt River valley. Its importance to descendant Tribal communities is recognized today\, and Pueblo Grande continues to yield a wealth of information regarding the past and its connection to the present. Excavation projects in almost 80 percent of this village have unearthed many archaeological features\, providing information for compiling a new research database. The continued challenge to preserve\, research\, and interpret pieces of this important place in the face of a changing urban landscape has required creativity\, collaboration\, and devotion on the part of a diverse group of volunteers and professionals. This Third Thursday presentation will combine a brief history of the archaeology of Pueblo Grande\, its role in the surrounding irrigation community archaeologists call Canal System 2\, and its value as a resource for continued preservation archaeology. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ynVTuQ14QLSOnrcrosWEYw.
