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. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20221117(v1)ThirdThursday_RonTowner_NavajoPueblitoSitesInDinétah \nCaption: A Navajo pueblito\, photo courtesy of US Bureau of Land Management \n

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

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:“Indigenous Forms of Resistance and Revolt in Colonial Mexico” Online Class
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 14\, 2022\, there will be an “Indigenous Forms of Resistance and Revolt in Colonial Mexico” one-session online adult education class with ethnohistorian Michael M. Brescia\, PhD\, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. This online class will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time)\, with a requested donation of $35 ($28 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum). \nThis two-hour minicourse taught by Arizona State Museum historian Dr. Michael Brescia provides a sweeping conceptual framework for understanding Indigenous resistance under Spanish colonialism. Invoking an all-powerful deity to effect radical changes in the social and political order has deep roots in the Indigenous experience under Spanish rule. Efforts to restore or revitalize cultural identity and promote economic security cut across Mexico’s geography and reveal the extent to which religious understandings of material well-being intersected and conflicted with established political power\, economic systems\, and accepted social norms. Arizona State Museum historian Michael Brescia identifies case studies from Mexico’s colonial period (1521-1810) to illustrate how Indigenous communities filtered their lived experiences through a religious and material framework in an effort to make sense of the challenges and burdens of Spanish colonialism\, and how some of them revolted against colonial rule. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday September 7\, whichever is earlier. To register or for more information contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20220914(v1)_MichaelBrescia_IndigenousFormsOfResistanceAndRevoltsCourse \nCaption: “The Pueblo Rebellion of 1680\,” Federal Arts Project mural completed in 1936 by artist Loren Mozley in Albuquerque NM Federal Building and US Courthouse (Photo courtesy of The Living New Deal\, Department of Geography\, University of California\, Berkeley)

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “The Full Story of Pueblo Grande (or at Least a Few Chapters)”
DESCRIPTION:On August 18\, 2022\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program will feature “The Full Story of Pueblo Grande (or at Least a Few Chapters)” by City of Phoenix Archaeologist Laurene Montero. This free presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nPueblo Grande is one of the last remaining precontact Hohokam villages with an intact platform mound – or va’aki – in Arizona’s lower Salt River valley. Its importance to descendant Tribal communities is recognized today\, and Pueblo Grande continues to yield a wealth of information regarding the past and its connection to the present. Excavation projects in almost 80 percent of this village have unearthed many archaeological features\, providing information for compiling a new research database. The continued challenge to preserve\, research\, and interpret pieces of this important place in the face of a changing urban landscape has required creativity\, collaboration\, and devotion on the part of a diverse group of volunteers and professionals. This Third Thursday presentation will combine a brief history of the archaeology of Pueblo Grande\, its role in the surrounding irrigation community archaeologists call Canal System 2\, and its value as a resource for continued preservation archaeology. \nTo register go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ynVTuQ14QLSOnrcrosWEYw.

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

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

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:“Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites”
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST  On Sunday\, March 20\, 2022\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart\, departing from near Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona at 8:00 a.m. The tour will end around noon. There is a requested donation of $35 ($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. \nThe 2022 spring equinox occurs on Sunday March 20 at 8:33 a.m. MST (Sunday March 20 at 3:33 p.m. UTC). To celebrate the vernal equinox\, 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. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Thursday March 17\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20220320(v2)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, photo by Tom Herrick

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.
