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 In addition\, data from many cultural resource management projects as well as unpublished sources and new analyses have been added.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 Presentation: "A Conversation about Indigenous Archaeology"
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online program will feature “A Conversation about Indigenous Archaeology” Kerry F. Thompson\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online presentation will be held on Thursday\, October 20\, 2022 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nStumbling on archaeology as a career at the age of 19\, Dr. Kerry F. Thompson’s negotiation of her Diné identity with a career in archaeology has taken her from Archaeological Technician at the Navajo Nation to Department Chair at Northern Arizona University. Join her in this conversation from her home on the Navajo Nation in Leupp\, Arizona. She invites your questions about archaeology\, academia\, Diné culture and identities\, Indigenous archaeology\, rez dogs\, and any other related topic.

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. The series is hosted by Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné)\, Anabel Galindo (Yaqui)\, and Maegan Lopez (Tohono O’odham)\, all of whom are members of Old Pueblo’s board of directors. \nTo register for the program go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wn7PTGxBQSaQ1PLWfoOLnA.

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. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought” featuring “Specters of the Past – Ghost Towns That Built Arizona” presentation by Jay Mark
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, January 20\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “Specters of the Past – Ghost Towns That Built Arizona” presentation by Jay Mark. This free Zoom online presentation is cosponsored by Arizona Humanities\, Phoenix and will be held from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nIn addition to an entertaining\, visual display of the communities\, towns and settlements that contributed to the early growth of Arizona\, this presentation focuses on respect for these diminishing historic resources. Most of the photographs represent a comprehensive exploration of Arizona ghost towns made by Mr. Mark in the 1960s and 1970s just prior to a major period of incursion and destruction by off-road and all-terrain vehicles. Many sites are no longer extant or have been seriously degraded since\, over the last fifty or sixty years. This presentation emphasizes the need to respect these valuable but fragile and vulnerable resources. Most are on public land with little or no protection afforded. From Mr. Mark’s personal library of nearly one thousand photographs of nearly three dozen ghost towns\, the presentation features ghost towns from the area in which it is made. Jay Mark\, a resident of Arizona for more 50 years\, has written more than 800 articles about local and Arizona history\, and has taught popular continuing education classes in the Maricopa Community College District. He has received the Arizona Historical Society’s Al Merito award and the State Historic Preservation Office/Arizona Preservation Foundation Governor’s Heritage Preservation. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. \nTo register go to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TiIW9I0USu-9ecTNb9InEw.

DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, January 11\, 2022\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests\,” which will feature “The Border Wall and the Tohono O’odham Nation’s Traditions and Spiritual Freedom” by Verlon José (Tohono O’odham). This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nTohono O’odham elder Verlon José has written\, “When I grew up living near the U.S./Mexico border\, the Tohono O’odham elders taught me that our sacred mountains and springs – as well as our most important spiritual ceremonies and pilgrimages – occur on both sides of the international boundary. We traveled to areas not knowing we were in another country\, but knowing we were on the land of our ancestors and family. I learned that we have a basic human responsibility to protect the land and the people.” Having been both an elected leader of the Tohono O’odham and a traditional practitioner\, he has attempted to explain to the federal government how important the continuity of Tohono O’odham sacred and religious traditions are important not only to his people but also for the health and well-being of the land itself. “We must continue our traditional and religious practices to keep the world in balance\,” he says. Mr. José is a Tohono O’odham traditional religious practitioner and has served as the Tohono O’odham Nation’s Legislative Council Chairman and as the Nation’s Vice Chairman. \nTo register for the program go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_e5ZmY0m4TjKQ8QBqyOl1Mw.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “Apache Warriors Tell Their Side” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, December 16\, 2021\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online dinnertime program will feature “Apache Warriors Tell Their Side” presentation by author-historian Lynda A. Sánchez. This free online presentation will be from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nEve Ball (1890-1984) was a noted New Mexico chronicler of Apache\, Anglo and Hispanic history. Obtaining their trust over many years\, she began interviewing over 67 of the participants and descendants of those implacable warriors who fought the Apache Wars.  By listening to\, rather than trying to talk over\, the old-timers\, Eve gathered fresh information and a differing point of view long before it was popular to do so.  Historian and educator Lynda A. Sánchez will present background about Eve and her stubborn desire to learn from the Apaches and from their side of the fence\, and will describe what it was like working side by side with this amazing woman. \nTo register go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JYWiXGriRjOBGKe5OW0rfA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "Horses in Rock Art" Zoom Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Robert Mark photograph of a segment of the 1805 Spanish Cavalcade rock art panel in Canyon del Muerto\, Arizona \nOn Thursday\, November 18\, 2021 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time)\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “Horses in Rock Art” presentation by archaeologist Larry Loendorf. \nPictographs and petroglyphs of horses have been made since those animals were reintroduced to North America by the Spanish in the 1500s. After horses were in use by northern Plains Indians\, they drew hundreds of scenes that include horses and their riders\, often in war-related activities. Archaeologists have studied enough of these scenes to be able to recognize Crow horses\, Blackfoot horses\, Comanche horses\, and those of other peoples. Depictions of horses also are found on rocks on the southern Plains and across the Colorado Plateau\, but not in large numbers. There are places\, however\, where they are common. For example\, there are hundreds of horse depictions at sites in Canyon del Muerto\, Arizona. Archaeological research on one spectacular panel there by Robert Mark\, Stephen Jett\, and Sacred Sites Research\, combined with information gleaned from studying other rock art horses in the Intermountain West\, is the topic of this presentation by archaeologist Lawrence (Larry) Loendorf\, PhD. \nTo register go to us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8GG8qpgjRPOeqJ1pvge1hQ.

SUMMARY:"Indigenous Views on Ancestors\, Archaeology\, and Interaction with Archaeologists" Zoom Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of Mr. Francisco \nJoin Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom online presentation “Indigenous Views on Ancestors\, Archaeology\, and Interaction with Archaeologists” by Jefford Francisco (Tohono O’odham). This presentation will be held on Tuesday\, November 9\, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Arizona/Mountain Standard Time [same as Pacific Daylight Time]). \nMr. Francisco’s thoughts for this presentation:\n“My name is Jefford Francisco. I have been a Cultural Affairs Specialist for the Tohono O’odham Nation since 2011. Types of projects I work on are surveys on the Tohono O’odham lands for homesites & fence lines. I also work with Indian Health Service\, Ki:Ki: Housing Department and many education institutions. Within these projects you get to meet a lot of Archeologists who study different things like pottery\, sea shells\, grinding stones and so on.\n“I also provide education on these topics to communities\, schools\, and monitor training groups. I hope to educate people so that they respect Hohokam and Tohono O’odham sacred sites. As I was growing up and even now a lot of O’odham do not understand what archeology is\, our grandparents told us not to bother or take objects from a site or we would get sick. There are many significant cultural differences that are important to our culture.\n“ In my presentation I will share my experiences and knowledge as it relates to Archeology\, the Hohokam and how they lived and worked in the desert. I will also cover Tohono O’odham sacred sites\, plants & animals and the laws that protect them on and off tribal lands.\n“I hope my presentation will give a better understanding of the Tohono O’odham and our relatives the Hohokam people.” \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom webinar series\, hosted by Old Pueblo Board of Directors members Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné)\, Maegan Lopez (Tohono O’odham)\, and Anabel Galindo (Pascua Yaqui)\, is made possible by a grant from Arizona Humanities. The series provides Native American presenters with a forum for discussing issues important to Indigenous peoples today. \nTo register for the program go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iEGJIYy9S9SJQ_uv9oYJGQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "Telling Their Story through Clay: Potters and Identity during the Pueblo Glaze Ware Period (1275-1680 CE) in New Mexico” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 21\, 2021\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program will feature “Telling Their Story through Clay: Potters and Identity during the Pueblo Glaze Ware Period (1275-1680 CE) in New Mexico” presentation by archaeologist Suzanne Eckert\, Ph.D. This free online presentation will be from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGlaze-painted pottery in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico is the only pre-European glaze technology in the Americas. Ancestral Pueblo potters began to make glaze paints in the late 13th century and continued to make them until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. After the Revolt\, the knowledge of glaze-paint manufacture was lost. Archaeologically\, the study of Pueblo glaze-painted pottery has informed on migration\, identity\, exchange\, ritual practice\, the spread of technology\, and the effects of colonialism. In this presentation\, Dr. Eckert will discuss how archaeologists think glaze paint was made and why potters haven’t been able to reproduce it\, how potters integrated glaze-painted pottery into identity and ritual\, and how Spanish Colonialism affected the production of glaze-paint and its ultimate demise. \nTo register go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hKRfal5jScC9tslcXaOEdw. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. For each Old Pueblo Zoom presentation\, we let the presenter decide whether he or she wants for the program to be recorded and made available online. No recording decision has yet been made for this program. \nPhoto caption: Examples of Puebloan glaze ware pottery\, photos courtesy of Suzanne Eckert. \nFlyer: 20211021(v1)ThirdThursday_SuzanneEckert_TellingTheirStoryThroughClay_PuebloGlazeWare

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “The People behind the Petroglyphs: The Cultural Landscape of the Lower Gila River”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 16\, 2021\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online dinnertime program will feature “The People behind the Petroglyphs: The Cultural Landscape of the Lower Gila River” presentation by anthropologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright. This free presentation will be from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe lower Gila River in southwestern Arizona is renowned for the sheer abundance and uniqueness of the petroglyphs adorning the cliffs and buttes lining it. Places such as the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site and Sears Point\, and a growing campaign to establish a national monument or conservation area attest to the richness\, value\, and significance of this cultural landscape. Lesser known\, though\, are the Indigenous communities responsible for populating the landscape with such a stunning array of images. Hohokam and Patayan cultural traditions are often mentioned\, but the relationship between them and each’s role in constructing the cultural landscape we see today has long puzzled researchers. Based on his four years of directing intensive archaeological survey\, and analyzing over 30\,000 petroglyphs in the lower Gila Valley\, Aaron Wright will highlight some of what this work has revealed. He will pay particular attention to relating the region’s petroglyphs to their nearby archaeological habitation sites in an effort to better understand the people behind it all. Dr. Wright is a Preservation Anthropologist with Archaeology Southwest\, Tucson. \nTo register go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bJEZgWMbTlydBwV_lCeXqQ.

SUMMARY:“A Balance to Keep: Matriarch\, Veteran\, and Belonging to Traditional Tohono O’odham Lands South of the U.S. Border” Zoom presentation by Ana Antone (Tohono O'odham)
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, September 14\, 2021\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s third in a series of Indigenous Interests presentations with “A Balance to Keep: Matriarch\, Veteran\, and Belonging to Traditional Tohono O’odham Lands South of the U.S. Border” by Ana Antone (Tohono O’odham). 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). \nTohono O’odham Nation Elder Ana Antone was born and raised in a community called Ce:dagi Wahia (Paso Verde in Spanish\, Green Wells in English) “on the Mexico side of the reservation.” She and her brothers and sisters went to elementary school in San Miguel Village on the U.S. side of the Tohono O’odham Lands. When she turned 17\, she enlisted in the U.S. Marines and served during the Vietnam War. After discharge\, she moved back to the Tohono O’odham Nation where she raised her two children and worked for the Tribal Education Program and the Tribal Health Department. In this presentation Ms. Antone will talk about her work that is dedicated to speaking for the rights of Tohono O’odham communities on Mexico’s side of the U.S.-Mexico boundary\, through advocating for their U.S. citizenship and the rights that are afforded with recognition. She and her son\, daughter and grandchildren continue to go back and forth\, trying to do what they can to be in balance with their rights as Tohono O’odham\, “People of the Desert.” \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom webinar series\, hosted by Old Pueblo Board of Directors members Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné) and Maegan Lopez (Tohono O’odham) and made possible by a grant from Arizona Humanities\, provides Native American presenters with a forum for discussing issues important to Indigenous peoples today. \nTo register for the program go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_un0AQ7scTO2G4ogLvk5AHQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “Pre-Hispanic Copper Artifacts Recovered from the Gila National Forest-Mimbres Area of Southwestern New Mexico”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 19\, 2021\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online dinnertime program featuring “Pre-Hispanic Copper Artifacts Recovered from the Gila National Forest-Mimbres Area of Southwestern New Mexico” presentation by archaeologist Christopher D. Adams. This presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time  (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nTwelve years of on-going research by Gila National Forest archaeologist Christopher D. Adams has resulted in identification of 97 pre-Hispanic\, Mimbres culture copper artifacts: 73 native copper nuggets\, 3 fetishes\, 3 clapper bells\, 15 other copper bells\, 2 pendants\, and 1 hammered/worked copper artifact. Adams has surveyed approximately 30 Mimbres sites on the Gila National Forest and\, in addition\, 6 native copper nuggets have been re-identified in Mimbres collections of New Mexico museums. Of unique importance is a Mimbres Classic Black-on-white Style III bowl excavated from the Bradsby Site (LA78337) on the Gila National Forest that exhibits what appear to be stylized images of copper bells. Dr. Steven Shackley’s x-ray fluorescence analyses on 70 of the Mimbres copper artifacts initially suggest the copper came from the same production event and/or same smelter for the copper bells. The closest source for the Mimbres copper would have been in the area of the Santa Rita Copper Mine. Unfortunately\, any surface copper areas that would have been mined there by the Mimbres people have since been disturbed by 20th-century mining so there are no traces of Mimbres mining there today. Sourcing of the Mimbres copper is still underway. \nTo register go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_U4MT21z6Qhm-jP4XMblodw.
