SUMMARY:"Tumamoc Hill Trincheras Site" - Site Tour
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologist Dr. Suzanne K. Fish in an ancientrock-outlined structure at the Tumamoc Hill archaeological site. \nA massive trinchera (built-up rock terrace) near the crown of Tumamoc Hill. \nOn Saturday\, December 3\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will host the “Tumamoc Hill Trincheras Site” site tour with archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne K. Fish starting in the courtyard of the Mercado San Agustin\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson. From 9 a.m. to noon: $25 ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nArizona State Museum archaeologists emeriti Paul and Suzy Fish will lead this tour to the archaeological features on Tumamoc Hill\, west of downtown Tucson. In excavations that the Fishes directed on top of this landmark\, flat-topped mountain\, some of the earliest evidence for maize agriculture was found in association with the hilltop’s ca. 2\,000-year-old Native American trincheras features (massive rock-work terraces)\, and rock-foundation houses and living areas were identified to a slightly later period. There are also ca. 1\,000-year-old Hohokam petroglyphs on near the top of Tumamoc Hill. And what a view from the top! The tour is limited to five vehicles on the Tumamoc Hill road so carpooling is required and probably no more than 20 people can attend.\nReservations and prepayment required by 5 p.m. Monday\, November 28: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.

SUMMARY:Autumnal Equinox Tour of Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Tom Herrick of equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director\, archaeologist Allen Dart\, will lead this tour to two of the Tucson area’s premier archaeological sites – Los Morteros and Picture Rocks site\, on Thursday\, September 22\, 2016\, 8 am to noon. Los Morteros\, an ancient village site of the Hohokam\nIndians from about A.D. 850 to 1300\, has been studied by archaeologists and historians for more than a century. During its heyday it was the center of an extended community of related Hohokam sites along the Santa Cruz River. The core of Los Morteros\, which is now preserved in a Pima County natural and cultural resources park\, encompasses a large public architectural feature interpreted as a ballcourt used for ritual and other purposes\, plus many refuse mounds\, room blocks\, hundreds of pithouses\, and thousands of artifacts. Bedrock mortars that inspired the site’s name (Los Morteros is Spanish for “the mortars”) and petroglyphs also are present. The Picture Rocks site\, located in the Tucson Mountains foothills\, contains hundreds of ancient rock symbols created mostly by the Hohokam\, although some of the rock designs may date before A.D. 500. The symbols at Picture Rocks include dancing human-like figures and whimsical animals as well as abstract designs. At least some of the petroglyphs evidently were ritually important\, as evidenced by the observation that at least one of them is a marker for both the equinoxes and the summer solstice. $20 per person ($16 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members) Cancellations made 30 days or more before departure will not be charged. Cancellations 8 to 30 days before departure will be refundable at 50% of the fee paid unless the cancelled space can be filled. Cancellations 0 to 7 days prior to departure date are not refundable.

SUMMARY:“Kino Missions Tour”
DESCRIPTION:Kino mission church and campo santo at Oquitoa\, Sonora; photograph by Dale Brenneman \nThis Kino Missions Tour into Sonora\, Mexico is sponsored by the Southwestern Mission Research Center (SMRC)\, and will be conducted April 8-10 (Fri-Sun)\, 2016.* More than 300 years ago\, a tireless Jesuit priest by the name of Eusebio Francisco Kino made countless forays on horseback throughout much of what is now the northern Mexican state of Sonora and Arizona. Father Kino brought with him ideas and material culture – chiefly the Christian faith\, the Spanish language\, cattle\, and crops – that would change the region deeply and forever. Join SMRC volunteers in retracing the steps of Kino and the missionaries who followed him. You’ll be guided by scholars and enthusiasts who know and love the region and volunteer their time to share it with others. Along the way you’ll stand in awe before the evocative church ruins of Cocóspera and Átil\, marvel at the mysteries of the spectral paintings on the church walls at Pitiquito\, delight in the exuberance of Magdalena\, take in the simple beauty of Oquitoa\, and bask in the rosy glow on the setting sun as it reflects off the twin towers of Caborca’s mission. You’ll take a side trip into prehistory with a visit to the archaeological site of Trincheras and its new museum. You’ll lunch al fresco near the river at Tubutama and in the shade of quince trees watered by the centuries-old acequia just across from San Ignacio’s church. And at day’s end\, you’ll savor dinner and margaritas on the patio of our host hotel. Best of all\, you’ll have many opportunities to meet the open and friendly people of Sonora whose traditions\, language\, and ethnicity combine the region’s Native and Spanish cultures\, representing the best of both worlds. And for this tour only\, we’ll be joined by Tucson’s Troubadour\, Teodoro “Ted” Ramírez\, whose roots in this region go deep to the founding of Tucson’s Presidio San Agustín in 1776.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. Passport is required. Reservation deadline March 1. For more information contact Monica Young at 520-621-6278 or mzyoung@email.arizona.edu. The cost of $525 per person includes transportation\, lodging (double occupancy)\, and meals. Tour group will depart from Hotel Tucson City Center InnSuites\, 475 N. Granada Ave.\, Tucson.
