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.

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.

SUMMARY:"Braiding Knowledges: The Journey of an Indigenous Archaeologist in Academia" Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, July 26\, 2022\, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time)\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” series presents “Braiding Knowledges: The Journey of an Indigenous Archaeologist in Academia.” This free Zoom online presentation will be given by anthropologist Ora Marek-Martinez (Diné)\, PhD\, who has been an archaeologist in the Southwest for over 20 years\, working with\, by\, and for her People – the Navajo Nation. She was the first Navajo female Tribal Historic Preservation Officer to serve the Navajo Nation and also was one of the first five Navajo Tribal Members with a doctoral degree in Anthropology. The knowledge\, approaches\, and protocols that Dr. Marek-Martinez learned from her Navajo People have provided her with her own unique approach to Indigenizing archaeology – which led to the co-creation with the Navajo Nation of Nihookaa Diné Bilá Ashdlái’I archaeology\, or an archaeology of the Five Finger Earth Surface People. In this talk\, Dr. Marek-Martinez will discuss her journey to braiding knowledges as an archaeologist and as a Diné Asdzaa\, or Navajo Woman\, in hopes of creating a future that the Navajo People envision based on and guided by their own understandings and stories of the past. \nOld 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.

SUMMARY:"Ecological Knowledge and Practices of Traditional Indigenous and Spanish Agriculturists” presentation by Gary Nabhan
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 21\, 2022\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s  “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring “Ecological Knowledge and Practices of Traditional Indigenous and Spanish Agriculturists” presentation by Gary Paul Nabhan\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nFor decades\, we have been told that southwestern agriculture evolved from a blending of prehistoric Indigenous crops and technologies diffused from Mesoamerica\, blended in historic times with Spanish-derived crops and practices brought in by Jesuit missionaries like Kino or Franciscans like Garces. The truth is much more complex\, interesting and fun! There were many food crops domesticated by Indigenous cultures in the region we now call Arid America in addition to those diffused from Mesoamerica. While corn\, some beans\, and squash did come north to Tucson from Mesoamerica beginning over 4\,000 years ago\, quite a few others underwent much of their domestication in Arid America. And historically\, most of the crop varieties and livestock breeds brought into Mexico came from the Canaries\, and ultimately from North Africa and the Middle East\, not Europe. Padre Kino was not the founder of Old World agriculture the Southwest\, for crops like Sonoran bread wheat and watermelons had arrived prior to his entry in Arizona\, as did Churro sheep and Criollo cattle. Water harvesting and other desert-adapted agricultural techniques still used today are a blend of Indigenous\, Canarian\, and Arab/Phoenician influences. Ethnobotanist and agricultural ecologist Dr. Gary Nabhan\, a MacArthur Fellow\, will share some of his insights about many of the Arid American domesticated species during this month’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ruxu_i6vRo2lZMKfykrlUA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation - “Diné History’s Impact on Jewelry”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 16\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” will feature “Diné History’s Impact on Jewelry” presentation by Nanibaa Beck\, cosponsored by Arizona Humanities\, Phoenix. 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). \nNanibaa Beck\, a second-generation Diné (Navajo) jeweler\, provides a history of Diné jewelry over the century\, focusing on changes in each decade. She will relate the shifting techniques\, styles\, and meanings of the art over the years to important events in Diné history including the impact of boarding schools\, training schools\, and access to new styles and materials on Navajo jewelry over this expanded period of time. Being intricately connected to the creation process motivated Ms. Beck to become more knowledgeable about the multifaceted areas surrounding Native American art. In November 2013 she founded NotAbove Jewelry after an “aha moment” in which a small thank-you card project sparked the idea for the original language necklaces that connect to her Diné culture. Today\, NotAbove reflects vibrant Native creative expressions and the growth of an Diné ‘Asdzáá (woman) as a metalsmith. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. It will not be recorded. \nGo to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8QpCuw1XQ6O09j5IeJVwDQ to register.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Online Presentation - “The Elk Ridge Community in the Mimbres Pueblo World”
DESCRIPTION:On May 19\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “The Elk Ridge Community in the Mimbres Pueblo World” by archaeologist Barbara J. Roth\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nElk Ridge was the largest pueblo in the northern portion of the Mimbres River valley during the Classic Mimbres period (1000-1130 CE). Recent excavations at the site combined with survey data indicate that it was part of a thriving community with social ties to other nearby pueblos and likely served as the ritual and perhaps economic hub for these smaller pueblos. In this presentation\, Dr. Roth will discuss data from fieldwork she directed at Elk Ridge and surrounding sites and will explore how and why Elk Ridge played such a prominent role in this portion of the Mimbres River Valley. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1tPSIzRPQjO30CZ5u-0sYw.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring “The Mimbres Twins and the Rabbit in the Moon” presentation by archaeologist Marc Thompson\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 21\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “The Mimbres Twins and the Rabbit in the Moon” presentation by archaeologist Marc Thompson\, 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). \nThis presentation documents illustrations from Classic Mimbres Black-on-white ceramic bowls (1000-1130 CE) depicting the Panamerican apologue of the Hero Twins saga. These motifs account for about 12% of Mimbres figurative bowls and can be arranged in a narrative sequence from birth\, trials\, tests\, death\, and resurrection of the Hero Twins\, to apotheosis as the sun and the moon. In this saga\, the Hero Twins survive the tests\, trials\, and ballgame challenge through guile\, cunning feats\, and as tricksters of legerdemain.  This tale\, the characters\, and the basic plot are known throughout North\, Central\, and South America. The deep\, fundamental basis of the story revolves around dualities as in two sides of the same coin; they include life and death\, dark and light\, and male and female. Cognate Hero Twins motifs\, both graphic and recorded\, are documented on Classic Maya ceramics (200-900 CE)\, in the 16th century Twins’ saga of the Popol Vuh book of the Maya\, and in US southwestern traditional tales. Comparing these similar\, but ethnically distinct accounts allows for a fuller comprehension of these emblematic\, evocative\, heroic figures. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6KGzbimQRiKFQeCfagnl3A.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought" program featuring “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 17\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program will feature “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?” presentation by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles\, Jr. This free online Zoom presentation will be held at 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. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ik2kE-mAROaksDhLE-6iUQ.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya\, Mixtec\, and Aztec Codices” presentation by ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 17\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya\, Mixtec\, and Aztec Codices” presentation by ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nMexican codices are manuscripts made by precontact and early Spanish colonial period Mesoamerican peoples. In this presentation Michael Brescia\, PhD\, Curator of Ethnohistory at the Arizona State Museum and affiliated Professor of History and Law at the University of Arizona\, will discuss what the codices tell us (and don’t tell us) about the political\, economic\, social\, and cultural rhythms of daily life in the Maya\, Mixtec\, and Aztec cultures. After the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521\, the codex tradition continued under the auspices of the Spanish missionaries and provided Indigenous peoples with a voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking place all around them. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OFjMuDjuQaCBQHm8hRV1bA.
