SUMMARY:“Journey to the Fiesta of Guadalupe in the Town of Guadalupe\, Arizona”
DESCRIPTION:Image of the Virgen de Guadalupe: Beaterío de la Santísima Trinidad. Sevilla\, Andalucía\, España\, 1748 (www.commons.wikipedia.org) \nCANCELLED – On Saturday\, December 12\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center for a “Journey to the Fiesta of Guadalupe in the Town of Guadalupe\, Arizona\,” guided by Felipe S. Molina. Tour group will meet at 11:00 a.m. at Burger King Restaurant in Groves Power Center\, 1220 W. Elliot Rd.\, Tempe\, Arizona\, just east of I-10 Exit 157. A Tucson caravan will depart for Tempe at 9:30 a.m. from the Sam’s Furniture Outlet parking lot at 2020 W. Prince Rd.\, just east of I-10 Exit 254. The tour will end at 4:00 p.m. or later depending on how late participants with vehicles wish to stay. A $50 donation ($40 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures; donation does not include meals or lodging. \nThe Fiesta of Guadalupe\, celebrated by members of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Arizona (and a national holiday in Mexico)\, is always on December 12th. It marks an appearance of the Virgin Mary to a young indigenous man in Mexico on December 12\, 1531. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers this special outing with Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina to attend the Town of Guadalupe’s December 12 fiesta honoring its namesake. Participants in this Old Pueblo event may either ride in a car caravan from Tucson to the Town of Guadalupe\, or to meet at a Burger King in Tempe just south of Guadalupe. At the Burger King\, Felipe will give an orientation before we all drive in a caravan to a parking area in the Town\, then walk to see the fiesta procession enter Guadalupe plaza. Following the procession we will split our group into two or more subgroups that will each watch the activities from different vantage points\, then in the afternoon our group will reassemble to compare what everyone has seen from the various observation points\, and Felipe will provide further interpretation of some of the things going on at the fiesta. People can either bring their lunches or buy food from vendors in the plaza. The tour officially ends after the regrouping and interpretation discussion but participants may choose to stay and watch the evening festivities or to go home (not necessarily in a caravan) after the group discussion. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday December 9\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer – 20201212(v2)JourneyToTheFiestaOfGuadalupeTour

SUMMARY:Third Thursday on the Second Thursday Food for Thought Dinner Presentation -  “Paint it Here\, but Never There: Landscapes of Reverent Avoidance in the Chiricahua Mountains”
DESCRIPTION:A view from the inside: Looking out into Cave Creek Canyon\, Arizona\, from one of its namesakes (Jonathan Patt photo). \nOn Thursday\, December 10\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday on the Second Thursday Food for Thought” dinner presentation will feature “Paint it Here\, but Never There: Landscapes of Reverent Avoidance in the Chiricahua Mountains.” This presentation is by archaeologist Kelsey E. Hanson and will be held in the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist Renewal Center\, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Road\, Tucson. The presentation is free but dinner is $16 per person. Dinner starts at 6 p.m.\, presentation will start around 7:00 and end around 8:30 p.m. \nSoutheastern Arizona is located on the fringes of several named cultural traditions – the Hohokam\, Mogollon\, and Casas Grandes\, and then was later occupied by the Apache. This borderlands region has received only sporadic scholarly attention. In 2018\, Kelsey E. Hanson and Jonathan Patt conducted a systematic survey of caves in the eastern Chiricahua Mountains\, at the heart of this cultural overlap. Their survey produced data on several new pictograph sites\, representing at least three different named pictograph traditions. Interestingly\, their spatial distributions demonstrate that different pictograph traditions rarely overlap in space but seem to occupy starkly different physiographic settings. In this talk\, archaeologist Kelsey Hanson will illustrate these spatial patterns and propose an interpretation she tentatively refers to as reverent avoidance of those who have come before. The results of her study have important implications for understanding identity and territoriality through time and space in this borderlands region. This month only\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s usual “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner program will be held on the Second Thursday of the month – December 10 – due to a schedule conflict on the Third Thursday (December 17). \nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. Tuesday December 8; dinner payments are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. December 8\, whichever is earlier: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. \nFlyer: 20201210(v1)Third(Second)Thursday_KelseyHanson_PaintItHereButNeverThere_LandscapesOfReverentAvoidanceFlyer \n

SUMMARY:“Catalina Highway Prison Camp at the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Area" Tour
DESCRIPTION:Overview of Federal Prison Camp No. 10 in Santa Catalina Mountains\, Arizona\, 1945; Coronado National Forest photo. \nOn Saturday\, November 21\, 2020\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Catalina Highway Prison Camp at the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Area” tour will be held with archaeologist Bill Gillespie. This tour will meet at Safeway store parking lot\, 9125 E. Tanque Verde Rd. (at Catalina Highway intersection)\, Tucson\, at 9:00 a.m. This is a fundraising tour where each registrant is asked to make a donation to help cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and support its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nOne of the unique archaeological sites in the Santa Catalina Mountains is the location of a federal prison camp occupied in the mid-20th century.  The facility was established for one specific purpose: to provide labor for the construction of the Catalina or Hitchcock Highway connecting Tucson to Mount Lemmon.  Although the project started in 1933\, it wasn’t until 1939\, when road construction had reached the 7-mile mark\, that prisoners were moved from their temporary camp at the base of the mountain to the permanent camp adjacent to Soldier Creek and the highway.  The use of the appealing location by the Hohokam at a much earlier time is marked by petroglyphs\, grinding features and artifacts.  In 1999\, the U.S. Forest Service named the site the Gordon Hirabayashi Recreation Area in honor of the Japanese-American civil rights leader who had been imprisoned there during World War II. Participants provide their own transportation and water\, and may bring their own lunches to picnic at the camp after the tour. Our guide Bill Gillespie did archaeological fieldwork at Mesa Verde\, Chaco Canyon\, and in Jordan before moving to southern Arizona in the mid-1980s to work as an archaeologist for the Coronado National Forest for 25 years. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday November 18\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer – 20201121(V2)CatalinaHighwayPrisonCampTour

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Dinner Presentation - "People and Politics behind the Construction of the Catalina Highway to Mount Lemmon”
DESCRIPTION:Example of prisoners’ workmanship at a drainage feature on the Catalina Highway (Coronado National Forest photo). \nOn November 19\, 2020\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online presentation will feature “People and Politics behind the Construction of the Catalina Highway to Mount Lemmon.” This presentation will be given by archaeologist Bill Gillespie from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.. \nIn October 1948 the Tucson Chamber of Commerce sponsored a ceremony to dedicate the nearly complete Hitchcock Highway\, named to commemorate Frank H. Hitchcock\, the man whose astute lobbying efforts made the construction of the new highway a reality.  After 15 years of intensive work by men from Federal Prison Camp No. 10\, the 25-mile long highway was nearly completed.  As many years as the project took\, spanning much of the Great Depression and World War II\, it was preceded by decades of earlier\, unsuccessful efforts to build a road to connect Tucson with the cool high elevations of Mount Lemmon.  At various times citizen groups\, county supervisors\, the U.S. Forest Service\, and federal and state highway agencies strove to find ways to get the road built before 1933 when Hitchcock succeeded in negotiating a successful solution. Guest speaker Bill Gillespie did archaeological fieldwork at Mesa Verde\, Chaco Canyon\, and in Jordan before moving to southern Arizona in the mid-1980s to work as an archaeologist for the Coronado National Forest for 25 years. \nTo register for the program go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bSfb3okVQRe8T6-zgx2s9A.\nFor more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20201119(v3)ThirdThursday_BillGillespie_CatalinaHighwayToMountLemmon \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:“Santa Cruz de Terrenate and Pitaitutgam Archaeological Sites” Tour
DESCRIPTION:Some Native American and Spanish artifacts from Santa Cruz de Terrenate and Pitaitutgam\, photos courtesy of Deni J. Seymour. \nOn Saturday\, October 17\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Santa Cruz de Terrenate and Pitaitutgam Archaeological Sites” tour with archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour\, starting at the Chevron station at AZ-90/AZ-82 intersection in Whetstone\, Arizona. There is a requested $50 donation ($40 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and  Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nSanta Cruz de Terrenate is the best-preserved example of three presidios (forts) established by the eighteenth-century Spanish colonial government in what is now southern Arizona\, to provide military protection to the missions\, settlers\, and Christianized Native Americans of New Spain. The presidio housed soldiers\, civilians\, Ópata scouts\, O’odham laborers\, and domestic servants of a variety of origins from December 1775 until it was abandoned in March 1780. Pitaitutgam is the site of a large Sobaípuri O’odham village that was occupied off and on for centuries. The first-ever Sobaípuri archaeological site identified and excavated (during the 1950s)\, it was the place Father Kino called Santa Cruz del Pitaitutgam. Our tour guide Dr. Deni Seymour recently carried out new excavations at both of these sites\, clarifying new ideas about the Sobaípuri O’odham\, their village layouts\, length of occupation in the San Pedro valley\, and many other issues of current interest. \nDonations for the tour are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday October 14\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20201017(V2)TerrenateAndPitaitutgamArchaeologicalSitesTour Flyer \nBefore going on the tour\, registrants are encouraged to attend Dr. Seymour’s “Revisiting Santa Cruz de Terrenate Presidio” free Zoom presentation starting at 7 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time on Thursday October 15 to get background information about Terrenate that she will not have time to explain in detail during the October 17 tour: Click here to see the flyer for the October 15 Zoom talk.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Historic Camp Rucker: Apache Wars Outpost Tour”
DESCRIPTION:Remnants of Camp Rucker’s adobe Commissary and Bakery buildings constructed by soldiers in 1880 (Coronado National Forest photo). \nOn Saturday\, October 3\, 2020 join archaeologist Bill Gillespie for the “Historic Camp Rucker: Apache Wars Outpost Tour\,” which will meet at 8:00 a.m. on Houghton Road just south of Interstate-10 Exit 275\, Tucson. This is a fundraising tour where each registrant is asked to make a donation to help cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and support its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nWell off the beaten path in the southern part of the Chiricahua Mountains is the site of Camp Rucker\, a small military post established by the U.S. Army in 1878.  The location selected in Whitewater (later Rucker) Canyon was one the ancient Mogollon people had picked centuries before.  The Army post was small\, never garrisoned by more than a single company\, and officially lasted only a couple of years.  For most of that time soldiers and officers lived in tents but in 1880 soldiers started building a small number of stone and adobe structures\, some of which are still standing. High clearance vehicles are recommended.  Participants provide their own transportation\, lunches\, and water. Bill Gillespie\, who was a Coronado National Forest archaeologist for 25 years\, and his Forest Service colleague Mary Farrell conducted volunteer projects at Camp Rucker and successfully nominated the Rucker Canyon Archaeological District to the National Register of Historic Places. \nDonations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Wednesday September 30\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20201003(V2)CampRuckerTripFlyer \n

SUMMARY:Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Tom Herrick of equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona. \nJoin Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart on Tuesday\, September 22\, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. to noon. This tour will depart from near Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona. \nThe 2020 autumn equinox occurs on September 22 at 6:30 a.m. Mountain Standard Time (1:30 p.m. GMT). To celebrate the 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 and bedrock mortars\, 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 650 and 1450 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 requested donation of $30 ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members)\, which helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donation prepayment required within 10 days of reservation request; last day to request reservations is 5 p.m. Sunday September 20. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20200922(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksAutumnEquinoxTour flyer

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Online Zoom Presentation - “Camp Rucker: Apache Wars Outpost in the Chiricahua Mountains”
DESCRIPTION:1879 map of Camp John A. Rucker showing facilities then present at the Army post (Coronado National Forest photo). \nOn September 17\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought online Zoom presentation by Bill Gillespie featuring “Camp Rucker: Apache Wars Outpost in the Chiricahua Mountains.” This free online presentation will be held from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. (Arizona/Mountain Standard Time). \nIn the summer of 1878\, the US Army established a small outpost called Camp Supply in the Chiricahua Mountains\, in the heart of the Chiricahua Apache homeland.  The initial purpose of the post was to serve as base of operations and supply depot for companies of Indian Scouts.  That function was cut short when the two young officers leading Indian Scout companies both drowned during a summer storm in the canyon. The camp was renamed Camp John A. Rucker in honor of one of them.  Although officially in use for less than three years\, the Army continued to make occasional use of the camp for nearly 20 more years\, most notably in its final campaign against Geronimo in the summer of 1886. Ranchers who lived at Camp Rucker in the decades that followed were an interesting lot\, some of whom wrote about life at Rucker in the 1880s through 1930s. As an archaeologist for the Coronado National Forest for 25 years\, guest speaker Bill Gillespie and his Forest Service colleague Mary Farrell conducted volunteer projects at Camp Rucker and successfully nominated the Rucker Canyon Archaeological District to the National Register of Historic Places.\nTo register for the Zoom meeting go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_K6HS7IkdS0KNbXxxp44cJg. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: OPAC_20200917(v2)ThirdThursday_BillGillespie_CampRuckerApacheWarsOutpost

SUMMARY:“Archaeology of the Southwest” 12-session class
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Jeffrey S. Dean of Kiet Siel Pueblo\, one of the sites discussed in the “Prehistory of the Southwest” class. \n“Archaeology of the Southwest” 12-session class taught by archaeologist Allen Dart will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Wednesday online via Zoom from September 16 through December 16\, 2020 except we’ll skip October 21 and November 25. \n“Archaeology of the Southwest” is an introductory course that provides a basic overview of the United States Southwest’s ancestral cultures. Its twelve weekly evening class sessions will cover cultural sequences\, dating systems\, subsistence strategies\, development of urbanization\, abandonments of different areas at different times\, and the general characteristics of major cultural groups that have lived in the Southwest over the past 13\,000-plus years. Besides offering an up-to-date synthesis of southwestern cultures for anyone interested in the archaeology of the Southwest\, the class is the equivalent of the Prehistory of the Southwest course developed by the Arizona Archaeological Society (AAS) and so can be used as prerequisite for all other courses offered in the AAS Certification/Education Program. Instructor Allen Dart\, a registered professional archaeologist\, is the executive director of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. \nDonation prepayment of $95 ($80 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) is required within 10 days of reservation request. Donation payment does not include cost of the recommended text or of optional Arizona Archaeological Society membership. Minimum enrollment 8\, maximum 20. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m. Friday September 11\, whichever is earlier. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org to register or for more information. \nFlyer: OPAC_20200916-1216(v3)ArchaeologyOfTheSouthwestOnlineClassFlyer

SUMMARY:“Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories" Tour
DESCRIPTION:Giant sequoia tree cross-section at The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research\, photo by John Kay \nCANCELLED – On Saturday\, July 18\, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will sponsor the “Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories”\ntour starting in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustin\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson. \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\, both administered by The University of Arizona (UA). In the first tour segment at the Tumamoc Desert Laboratory\, either archaeologist Dr. Anna Seiferle-Valencia or the lab’s director Dr. Ben Wilder will lead us through the Desert lab\, which began its existence in 1903 as the Carnegie Desert Botanical established by th Carnegie Institution of Washington and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1940 the Carnegie Institution sold it to the US Forest Service for $1\, and in 1956 the UA bought it from the US Government\, promising in the deed to use it solely for research and education. During its 117 years of existence the Tumamoc Hill and Desert Laboratory staff have been on the cutting edge in the fields of paleontology and desert ecology. \n        The UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) also has a venerable record of research in archaeology\, astronomy\, and environmental sciences. Created in 1937 by UA Professor of Astronomy Andrew Ellicott Douglass\, founder of the science of dendrochronology\, the LTRR has helped establish many other dendrochronology and tree-ring science labs around the world and remains a foremost facility in environmental research\, teaching\, and outreach\, as we will see as docent Randall Smith leads us through the tree-ring laboratory. \nThe first tour segment to Tumamoc Hill is limited to six vehicles so carpooling is required and no more than 24 people (in addition to Old Pueblo’s tour coordinator Allen Dart) can register depending on whether we can designate six 4-passenger vehicles for carpooling from Mercado San Agustin to the Desert Lab. After we leave there we will return to the Mercado where carpoolers can get back into their own vehicles\, and we will caravan from the Mercado to the LTRR for the second tour segment. \nReservations and donation prepayments are required by 5 p.m. Monday July 13: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20200718(v1)Laboratories-TumamocDesertLab-TreeRingLabTourFlyer

SUMMARY:“Droughts and Floods Structured Social Interaction in the Pre-Hispanic Southwest” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Maps showing southwestern environmental change through time provided by Dr. Gauthier \nRESCHEDULED JANUARY 21\, 2021 – On Thursday\, April 16\, 2020\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner presentation will feature “Droughts and Floods Structured Social Interaction in the Pre-Hispanic Southwest” by Dr. Nicolas E. Gauthier. When droughts and floods struck ancient agricultural societies\, complex networks of exchange and interaction channeled resources into affected settlements and migrants away from them. Did these networks evolve in part to connect populations living in differing climate regimes? Dr. Nicolas Gauthier examines this relationship with a long-term archaeological case study in the pre-Hispanic North American Southwest\, analyzing 7.5 million artifacts from nearly 500 archaeological sites spanning 250 years. He uses these artifacts to estimate how the flow of social information changed over time and to measure how the intensity of social interaction among sites varied as a function of distance and several regional drought patterns. \nThis free presentation (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense) will be held at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd\, Oro Valley from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date:  info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. \n20200416(v1)ThirdThursday_NicolasGauthier_ReconstructingLandUseAndGlobalEnvironmentalChange

SUMMARY:“Subjective Color in Mimbres Black-on-white Pottery” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:A Mimbres pottery design that produces subjective color; pot illustration courtesy of Dr. Whittlesey\, “Pastel Background New 2” image from www.rbgstock.com \nCANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19 CONCERN – On Thursday\, March 19\, 2020\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought dinner presentation will feature “Subjective Color in Mimbres Black-on-white Pottery” by archaeologist Dr. Stephanie M. Whittlesey. Many Mimbres black-on-white geometric designs produce the illusion of color when rotated rapidly\, much like the subjective-color hallucination that has been known in the psychology of perception for more than a century. Subjective color is one of numerous neurophysiologically induced visual hallucinations that are universal in human beings and are produced by epilepsy\, migraines\, hallucinogens\, certain diseases\, and other causes. In her presentation for Old Pueblo\, Dr. Stephanie Whittlesey will describe the phenomenon and the design characteristics that produce it\, discuss similar visual hallucinations in the scientific literature\, suggest that some of the designs may have been created by shamans based on visions they had experienced during trances and shamanic journeys\, and speculate on the contribution of subjective color to Mimbres ritual organization. \nThis free presentation (order your own dinner off the restaurant’s menu at your expense) will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant (5252 S. Mission Rd\, Tucson) from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date:  info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

There is a $25 requested donation for this tour ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nThe 2019 spring equinox occurs on March 20 at 2:58 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (9:58 p.m. GMT). To celebrate the vernal equinox and the annual Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month\, 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 and bedrock mortars\, 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 AD 650 and 1450. 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. \nReservations and donation prepayment required by 5 p.m. Tuesday March 17. 520-798-1201 or  info@oldpueblo.org. \nLink to flyer: 20200319(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought: "Living with the Canals: Water\, Ecology\, and Cultural Memory in Banámichi\, Sonora"
DESCRIPTION:Sculpture in Plaza Juarez/Plaza de la Piedra Histórica (Plaza of the Historic Rock)\, Banámichi\, Mexico\, photo courtesy of Elizabeth Eklund. \nOn Thursday\, February 20\, 2020\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Living with the Canals: Water\, Ecology\, and Cultural Memory in Banámichi\, Sonora” by anthropologist Elizabeth Eklund at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson. Time: 6 to 8:30 p.m.\, presentation is free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense.). \nRain falls from the sky\, some never reaches the ground\, some runs off down rivers\, and some soaks down into the aquifer. In Banámichi\, northwestern Mexico\, which has a close but uneasy\, centuries-old history with mining operations\, water emerges from a natural spring and flows through a human-made canal system that was modernized in the 1930s and 1940s. The system is older\, but how much older remains unclear. Early explorer Cabeza de Vaca reported an area with permanent houses and many stores of maize and frijoles. One particular historical narrative that emerged from archaeological research in the 1970s and 1980s is currently displayed in Banámichi’s Plaza Juarez/Plaza de la Piedra  Histórica (Plaza of the Historic Rock): a fountain featuring a corn stalk and a boulder supported by four Ópata-inspired figures representing four Río Sonora pueblos founded by Father Bartolome Casteñedos. On that boulder is a petroglyph that William Doolittle interpreted in the 1980s as depicting the pre-Hispanic canals and fields in the floodplain below. That narrative is often repeated today by water managers who attribute the tradition of canal irrigation to the Ópata peoples\, as attested by the petroglyph displayed in the town center. \n        Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO WHETHER YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. \nLink to flyer: 20200220(v1)ThirdThursday_ElizabethEklund_LivingWithTheCanals
