SUMMARY:“Tour of the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research”
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 13\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Tour of the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research.” The tour group will meet at 7:45 a.m. in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustín\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson\, AZ. The tour will end back at this same location around 12:30 p.m. \nThis Old Pueblo Archaeology Center summer tour visits two TOO-COOL environmental-science laboratories in Tucson – the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR)\, both administered by The University of Arizona (UA). The Tumamoc Desert Laboratory began its existence in 1903 as the Carnegie Desert Botanical Laboratory established by the Carnegie Institution of Washington and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Tree-Ring Lab also has a venerable record of research in archaeology\, astronomy\, and environmental sciences\, created in 1937 by the founder of dendrochronology as a science: UA Professor of Astronomy Andrew Ellicott Douglass. Tour presenters and guides will include archaeologists Paul and Suzanne Fish\, the Tumamoc Lab’s Robert Villa and Lynne Schepartz\, and LTRR docent Donna MacEachern. The drive from the Mercado San Agustín meeting place to the Tumamoc Lab is limited to five vehicles so tour is limited to 20 people and carpooling is required. After returning to the Mercado\, all participants can take their own vehicles in a caravan to the LTRR. \nThere is a $35 requested donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donation prepayments are required 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Wednesday July 10\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org \nFlyer: 20240713(v1)TumamocDesertLab-TreeRingLabTourFlyer \nCaption 1: Tumamoc Desert Laboratory photo from the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill website \nCaption 2: Photo by John Kay of giant sequoia tree cross-section at The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research

SUMMARY:“Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, and Camp Naco: Pictographs\, Archaeology\, and History” Tour
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nOn Saturday\, April 6\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, and Camp Naco: Pictographs\, Archaeology\, and History” tour with archaeologist Stanislava Romih and historic architect R. Brooks Jeffery. This tour will be held from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and will begin at the Van Deman Gate Visitor Control Center\, Hatfield St.\, Fort Huachuca\, Arizona. \nLocated on the historic Fort Huachuca Army Post\, the Garden Canyon site is a precontact American Indian settlement near where the Mogollon\, Hohokam\, and Trincheras archaeological cultures came together. Limited excavations at this site revealed remnants of pithouses and above-ground dwellings\, funerary features\, and pottery and other artifacts. Farther up Garden Canyon\, a few hundred feet above its floor\, are rockshelters that contain pictographs that may have been painted in the 1700s by Apaches. In part 1 of this tour archaeologist Allen Dart\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Executive Director\, will guide our visit to these sites and the Fort Huachuca Museum\, which focuses on the region’s military history. After visiting Fort Huachuca\, the tour group will take a lunch break then caravan from Sierra Vista to Naco\, Arizona to visit historic Camp Naco. This early twentieth-century Buffalo Soldiers installation is now the target of a City of Bisbee rehabilitation effort to explore a wide range of future uses that commemorate history\, expand cultural opportunities\, and serve as a resource for the communities of Naco and southern Cochise County. Tour participants need to bring picnic lunch and water\, wear sturdy hiking shoes\, and be able to hike along a short\, narrow mountain trail. \nRequested donation is $55 per person ($45 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday\, April 1st\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nCaption: Some Apache pictographs in Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, Arizona\, photo by Ron Stewart \nFlyer: 20240406(v5)GardenCanyonFortHuachucaCampNacoTourFlyer

SUMMARY:“Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites”
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart will be held on Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024\, from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. The tour group will meet at and depart from Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona. \nThe 2024 vernal equinox occurs on Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024 at 8:06 pm Mountain Standard Time (Mar. 20\, 3:06 am Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate the equinox day (but not the exact time!) and explore ancient people’s recognition of equinoxes and other calendrical events\, archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) leads this tour to Los Morteros\, an ancient village site that includes a Hohokam ballcourt\, bedrock mortars\, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks\, where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker\, dancing human-like figures\, whimsical animals\, and other rock symbols made mostly Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph at the site exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual celestial equinox\, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight.\nThe request donation is $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.  Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Sunday\, March 17\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20240319(v2)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick

SUMMARY:Vista del Rio Archaeological Site ENCORE Free Tour
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center is providing a free ENCORE tour of the Vista del Rio Archaeological Site on Saturday March 2\, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The earlier Vista del Rio Archaeological Site Free Tour from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m.\, celebrating Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month\, filled so quickly after it was announced that archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) is offering this second\, same-day opportunity to tour the site from 1-3 pm.

SUMMARY:“Badger Springs Pueblo and Petroglyphs Archaeology and Geology Tour”
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST   On Saturday\, February 10\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Badger Springs Pueblo and Petroglyphs Archaeology and Geology Tour” with JJ Golio and Allen Dart in Agua Fria National Monument. This tour will start at 8:30 am at Badger Springs Trailhead parking area ca. 1 mile east of Interstate-17 Exit 256 (Badger Springs)\, and end at 3:30 pm. \nAgua Fria National Monument\, located approximately 40 miles north of central Phoenix\, was established in 2000 by President Bill Clinton to protect its extensive and important cultural and natural resources. Encompassing two mesas\, the canyon of the Agua Fria River\, and the river’s tributaries including Badger Spring Wash\, the monument protects numerous archaeological sites as well as outstanding geological and biological resources. This Old Pueblo tour will visit Badger Springs Pueblo\, a 70-plus room precontact settlement perched atop a high bluff\, plus ancient boulder metates and bedrock outcrops with elaborate figurative petroglyphs. It also will stop at a historical arrastre – an ore-grinding mill in which heavy stones attached to horizontal poles radiating from a central pillar were turned by a draft animal or powered by water to drag the stones on the mill’s floor of stone to pulverize ore. Guides also will point out and interpret geologic processes in which Badger Spring Wash cut through the basalt and granodiorite to create colorful red\,  pink\, yellow\, green\, brown\, white\, dark gray\, and black formations\, some including xenoliths. \nThe request donation is $55 per person ($45 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Wednesday\, February 7\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20240210(v1)BadgerSpringsPuebloPetroglyphsArchaeologyGeologyTourFlyer \nCaption: Some petroglyphs along the Badger Springs Trail\, photo courtesy of JJ Golio

SUMMARY:“Archaeological Sites of the Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Community” Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST   Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeological Sites of the Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Community tour\,” guided by archaeologists Paul and Suzanne Fish\, will be held on Saturday\, January 27\, 2024\, from 8:30 am to 12:00 noon. The tour group will meet at and depart from 13961 N. Sandario Rd.\, in Marana\, Arizona. \nUniversity of Arizona archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne K. Fish lead this tour to selected archaeological sites in one of southern Arizona’s largest ancient Hohokam communities. Our visit will include the Marana Platform Mound site (which was surrounded by 40+ residential compounds)\, a sampling of Hohokam agricultural field locations including specialized ones for agave cultivation\, and a secondary compound center on the Tortolita Mountains bajada. The Marana Mound site is one of the very few Hohokam Early Classic period (1150-1300 CE) villages that has wholly escaped the destruction resulting from modern agriculture and urbanization and where adobe-wall remnants can be clearly identified on the surface. We also will visit the location where a segment of the nearly seven-mile-long Marana Mound site canal was identified from surface and excavated remains before that area was included in a modern housing development. These site visits will provide a basis for understanding the social and economic processes during the Early Classic period\, when processes of Hohokam centralization and population aggregation greatly accelerated. \nThis tour is limited to 20 people including guides. There is a requested $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Reservations and donation prepayment required by 5 pm Monday\, January 22. To be added to waiting list contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20240127(v1)MaranaMoundHohokamCommunityTourFlyer \nCaption: Some ancient Hohokam structures exposed during the Arizona State Museum’s Marana Platform Mound Community excavations\, photo by Allen Dart

SUMMARY:“Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart will depart on Saturday\, September 23\, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. from near Silverbell Rd. and Linda Vista Blvd.\, Marana. This tour will end 12:00 p.m. noon. \nThe 2023 autumn equinox occurs on September 23 at 12:50 am Arizona/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time; Sept. 23\, 6:50 am Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate the equinox day (but not the exact time!) and explore ancient people’s recognition of equinoxes and other calendrical events\, archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) leads this tour to Los Morteros\, an ancient village site that includes a Hohokam ballcourt\, bedrock mortars\, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks\, where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker\, dancing human-like figures\, whimsical animals\, and other rock symbols made by Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph at Picture Rocks exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual celestial equinox\, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight. \nThere is a $35 requested donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of S’edav Va’aki Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Thursday September 21\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20230923(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksAutumnEquinoxTourFlyer \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick

SUMMARY:Coyote Ruin\, Fitzmaurice Ruin\, and Museum of Indigenous People Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 20 and Sunday\, May 21\, 2023\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Coyote Ruin\, Fitzmaurice Ruin\, and Museum of Indigenous People” tour with archaeologist Andrew Christenson\, PhD\, in Prescott and Prescott Valley\, Arizona. The tour will begin on Saturday at 11:30 and end on Sunday 12:00 noon. There is a requested donation of $99 donation per person ($80 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center or Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum)\, which covers all site entry fees and Old Pueblo’s expenses. \nArchaeologist Dr. Andy Christenson leads this tour to two archaeological sites of west-central Arizona’s Prescott culture and to one of Arizona’s oldest anthropology museums. For the Coyote Ruin in Prescott\, which was occupied from perhaps the 900s until after 1300 CE\, excavations in the 1920s are the earliest in the Prescott area for which we have documentation. In 1998 and later additional excavations were conducted in 11 of Coyote’s 26 masonry rooms and two of its 10 pit structures\, and many agricultural and water-control features were recorded. The Fitzmaurice Ruin on and near a prominent hilltop in Prescott Valley includes a 27-room pueblo and outlying structures dating between 1140 and 1300\, stone-outlined areas interpreted as terraced and possibly canal-irrigated garden plots\, and at least one petroglyph. Prescott’s Museum of Indigenous People\, originally the Smoki Museum\, is a complex of stone buildings completed in 1935 by a non-Native\, community-minded social group\, the “Smoki People\,” with assistance from Depression-era work program participants. Participants are responsible for their own transportation\, lodging\, and meals. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday May 15\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20230520-0521(v2)_Coyote&Fitzmaurice&MuseumOfIndigenousPeopleTourFlyer \n  \n

If not\, then what was Salado exactly? During this tour\, Rich and Al will discuss these ideas during visits to the Casa Grande Ruins in Coolidge and Besh Ba Gowah Pueblo and Gila Pueblo on Friday\, and Tonto National Monument’s Lower Cliff Dwelling and the Schoolhouse Point Platform Mound archaeological site near Roosevelt Lake on Saturday. On the drive from Coolidge to Globe\, participants will see spectacular central Arizona mountains and scenery including Queen Creek Canyon\, Devil’s Canyon\, and the fabled Apache Leap.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - “Central Arizona Tradition Archaeological Sites Tour”
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED  On Sunday\, October 16\, 2022\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Central Arizona Tradition Archaeological Sites Tour” guided by archaeologist J. Scott Wood\, starting at Goat Camp Ruin in Payson\, Arizona. This tour will be held from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m.\, with a requested donation of $40 ($32 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) includes Old Pueblo’s expenses and access to sites but no transportation\, lodging\, or meals. \nScott Wood leads Old Pueblo’s car-caravan tour to archaeological sites of the Central Arizona Tradition (CAT). What is that? It’s a name that archaeologists Peter Pilles and Scott Wood gave to a cultural lifeway that developed around 300 CE in central Arizona just north of the Salt River valley. The CAT was characterized by small wickiup-like pithouses\, some larger bean-shaped houses\, and plain brown paddle-and-anvil-made pottery\, without any locally made decorated ceramics. The CAT lasted until about 500 CE when people in most parts of the area began to be assimilated into the Hohokam\, Mogollon-Pueblo\, and Sinagua cultures that developed all around central Arizona. Scott will show us two CAT archaeological sites: Goat Camp Ruin\, where he has been leading excavations since 2008\, and Shoofly Village\, where Arizona State University conducted excavations in the mid-1980s. Payson offers numerous restaurant and lodging options. Participants provide their own lodging\, meals\, and transportation. Directions to the meeting place will be provided to persons who have made reservations. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Monday October 13\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20221016(v1)_CentralArizonaTraditionArchaeologicalTourFlyer \nCaption: Some archaeology scenes at Goat Camp Ruin (Scott Wood photos) and Shoofly Village (Al Dart photo)
