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. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20230817(v1)ThirdThursday_DeniSeymour_O’odhamAnnihilationOfCoronado’sSouthernArizonaTownsite \nCaption: Spaniards at the villa of San Geronimo III Painting © Bill Singleton

SUMMARY:Tour to the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FILLED – WAITING LIST   On Saturday\, July 22\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour” will meet in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustín\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson at 8:00 a.m. The tour will end 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 carpooling is required and no more than 20 people can attend. After returning to the Mercado\, all participants can take their own vehicles in a caravan to the LTRR. \nThere is a requested donation of $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of S’edav Va’aki Museum members). Donation prepayments are required 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Wednesday July 19\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20230722(v2)TumamocDesertLab-TreeRingLabTourFlyer \nCaption for 1st photo:  Tumamoc Desert Laboratory photo from the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill website\nCaption for 2nd photo: Photo by John Kay of giant sequoia tree cross-section at The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research \n

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: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

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:Civilian Conservation Corps Historic Sites Tour in the Tucson Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Join archaeologists Ron Beckwith and Bill Gillespie in Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Civilian Conservation Corps Historic Sites Tour in the Tucson Mountains” on Saturday\, April 15\, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. This tour will be starting at Saguaro National Park’s Red Hills Visitor Center\, 2700 N. Kinney Rd.\, Tucson. The requested donation is $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members)\, which covers all entry fees and helps support Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nThe US Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a voluntary public work relief program established in 1933\, during the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt\, to provide Depression-era jobs for unemployed\, unmarried men ages 18 to 25. The CCC taught job skills to thousands of young men assigned to CCC camps throughout the nation that were run by the US Army. Enrollees constructed hundreds if not thousands of land-conservation features as well as distinctive and beautiful architecture before the program ended in 1942. This tour will visit Camp Pima (the better preserved of the two camps for CCC enrollees in the Tucson Mountains) and CCC-constructed features in the Ez-Kim-In-Zin\, Signal Hill\, and Sus picnic areas in Saguaro National Park’s Tucson Mountains Unit. If time permits\, we also will view the CCC-constructed Speakers Rock\, Cheops Amphitheatre\, and other structures nearby in Pima County’s Tucson Mountain Park.

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:“Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, January 28\, 2023\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina\, starting in the Santa Cruz River Park ramada at 1317 W. Irvington Road\, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just west of the Santa Cruz River). This tour will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.\, with a requested $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members)\, which helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nFelipe S. Molina was taught the indigenous language\, culture\, and history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and grandmother\, his grandmother’s cousin\, and several elders from Tucson’s original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern Arizona to escape the Mexican government’s war on and deportations of the Yoeme in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By 1940 there were about 3\,000 Yoeme in Arizona\, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson\, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in Marana\, and others near Eloy\, Somerton\, Phoenix\, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina will lead this tour to places settled historically by Yoeme in the Tucson and Marana areas including Bwe’u Hu’upa (Big Mesquite) Village\, the San Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community (Barrio Libre)\, Pascua\, Ili Hu’upa\, Wiilo Kampo\, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its San Juan Church and plaza. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday January 25\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20230128(v1)Tucson&MaranaYoeme(YaquiIndian)CommunitiesFlyer \nCaption: Typical home in Yoem Village\, Marana\, Arizona\, in 1936: Homes were built with railroad ties\, saguaro cactus ribs\, metal roofing and mud; R.

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:“Salado\, Whatever that Means” Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, November 18 and Saturday\, November 19\, 2022\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Salado\, Whatever that Means” tour with archaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart. The caravan will meet on Friday at 9:00 a.m. at the northwest corner of Walmart parking lot at 1695 N. Arizona Blvd.\, Coolidge\, Arizona and end on Saturday around 1:00 p.m. (or later). There is a requested donation of $99 per person ($80 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) includes all site entry fees and Old Pueblo’s expenses but no transportation\, lodging\, or meals. \nArchaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart lead this car-caravan educational tour to central Arizona archaeological sites representing the “Salado phenomenon.” What does “Salado” mean? Was Salado a distinct precontact-era culture like the Ancestral Pueblo\, Hohokam\, Mogollon\, and Patayan cultures (all of which were at least partly contemporary with Salado)? 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. There are several restaurant options in Globe for Friday lunch and dinner and Saturday breakfast. Participants provide their own lodging\, meals\, and transportation. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Friday November 11\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20221118-1119(v2)_SaladoWhateverThatMeansTourFlyer \nCaption: Morning view of the Lower Cliff Dwelling in Tonto National Monument\, National Park Service photo by J.

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: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)

SUMMARY:.: “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya and Aztec Codices” Adult Education Class
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will be sponsoring a two-session online adult education class\, “Understanding Indigenous Mexico through the Maya and Aztec Codices\,” to be taught by ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, Ph.D. These two classes will be held online on Tuesday\, October 4 and Tuesday\, October 18\, 2022 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). There is a requested $50 donation ($40 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum). \nMesoamerican codices are documents created by Maya\, Aztec\, and other Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America before and after the Spanish conquest. The codex tradition provided Indigenous peoples with a voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking place all around them. In this Old Pueblo course\, Arizona State Museum ethnohistorian Dr. Michael Brescia examines the manuscript culture of ancient Mexico and what the codices reveal about the political\, economic\, social\, and cultural rhythms of daily life for the Maya and Aztec societies of Mesoamerica. He will tease out multiple dimensions of pre-Columbian Maya society as manifested in codices such as the Dresden Codex and the Grolier Codex\, the latter having only been authenticated by scholars in 2018.  He will discuss links between the Maya codices and scholarly efforts to crack the so-called Maya code (a hieroglyphic writing system)\, and the changes and continuities in Aztec (Mexica) society that are revealed in several codices and writings produced just before and right after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec confederation in 1521. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Tuesday September 27\, whichever is earlier. To register or for more information contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nCaption: A page from Codex Borgia\, ca. 16th century\, central Mexico\, illustration courtesy of the Arizona State Museum\, University of Arizona. \nFlyer: 20221004-1018(v1)_MichaelBrescia_UnderstandingIndigenousMexicoThroughTheCodicesCourse
