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

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. 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. \n20200319(v1)ThirdThursday_StephanieWhittlesey_SubjectiveColorInMimbresPottery

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.

SUMMARY:“Dragoon Springs Stage Station-Cochise/Howard Treaty Site" Tour
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Apache wickiup rings identified at the Cochise-Howard Treaty site\, courtesy of Deni J. Seymour \nOn Saturday\, January 4\, 2020\, join us for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center‘s “Dragoon Springs Stage Station-Cochise/Howard Treaty Site” tour\, which will be led by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour and historian Norman Wisner. This tour will depart at 9:00 a.m. from south side of Interstate-10 Exit 312 (Sybil Road) about 9 miles east of Benson\, Arizona and end around 4:00 p.m. at the same location. A donation is requested\, which helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nThis tour to the historic Dragoon Springs Stage Station and Cochise-Howard Treaty Site archaeological sites in the foothills of southern Arizona’s Dragoon Mountains will be led by archaeologist Dr. Deni Seymour\, whose lifelong research has focused largely on the Protohistoric and Historic period Native American and Spanish cultures of the United States’ “southern Southwest\,” and Norman Wisner\, a historian who is especially knowledgeable about the Dragoon Springs site. Dragoon Springs\, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, served the “Jackass Mail” and Butterfield Overland mail companies during the 1850s and 1860s\, and was the site of altercations in which construction workers and soldiers of both the Confederate and Union armies were killed\, allegedly by Apaches. Debate surrounding the burials will be incorporated into the discussion. A second site\, the Cochise-Howard Treaty location\, is where Brigadier General Oliver Otis Howard met with the Apache leader Cochise in October 1872 to negotiate the surrender and relocation of Cochise’s Chokonen Apache band. The place of that meeting\, which culminated in a peace treaty between Cochise’s band and the U.S. government\, has been published by Dr. Seymour based on photographs of unique boulder formations\, written historical descriptions of the landscape\, and archaeological evidence that she will discuss during our visit. Detailed historical accounts and archaeological investigations enrich our understanding of the location. \nReservations and donation prepayment required by by 5 p.m. Tuesday December 31\, 2019. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.

DESCRIPTION:Female ceramic figurine photo courtesy of Suzanne Eckert. \nOn Thursday\, December 19\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature a presentation titled “Feminist Theory and an Engendered Archaeology: Where We’ve Been and Where We Are Going” by archaeologist Suzanne Eckert\, Ph.D.\, in the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist Renewal Center\, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Road\, Tucson. Dinner starts at 6 p.m.\, presentation around 7-8:30 p.m.; dinner is $16 per person\, presentation is free. \nCan’t we study archaeology without modern politics? Did people multi-task in the past? Woman the Hunter – WHAT? How did people figure out how to domesticate plants? If there are only two sexes\, then why is it important to identify third genders in the past? How much strength does it take to flintknap? Is gender difference the same as gender inequality? Why are children and the elderly mostly invisible in archaeological research? Each of these questions can and has been addressed by feminist archaeology and an engendered archaeology. While some archaeologists would argue that feminist archaeology and an engendered archaeology are the same\, other archaeologists have argued for a distinction between the two. Dr. Eckert will present her current perspective on this topic\, discuss the feminist critique of archaeology\, and consider how the study of gender provides for a richer understanding of the past. Along the way\, she will provide examples from archaeological research around the world and anecdotes collected from her 20 years of struggling with this topic.\nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. Tuesday December 17 at 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.\n      IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity send an email to info@oldpueblo.org with “Send December 19 Third Thursday dinner flyer” in your email subject line.

SUMMARY:“Sears Point\, Painted Rock\, and Gatlin: Patayan and Hohokam Petroglyphs and Archaeology” Tour
DESCRIPTION:Photograph of a Sears Point petroglyph panel courtesy of Aaron M. Wright \nTOUR FULL – WAITING LIST. On Saturday\, December 7\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Sears Point\, Painted Rock\, and Gatlin: Patayan and Hohokam Petroglyphs and Archaeology” tour will be guided by archaeologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright. This tour will start at Interstate 8 Exit 78 (Spot Road) approximately 39 miles west of Gila Bend\, Arizona. The tour day begins at 10 a.m. (or later if joining the group for dinner in Gila Bend) and will end around 4:30 p.m. A $45 donation per participant ($36 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center & Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nArchaeologist Dr. Aaron Wright leads this tour to see thousands of petroglyphs and one of the largest Hohokam village sites in southwestern Arizona. Aaron\, a Preservation Archaeologist with Tucson’s Archaeology Southwest organization\, has research interests in paleoclimatology\, indigenous Southwest ritualism and religion\, and rock art and has been a leader in the effort to establish a Great Bend of the Gila National Monument. The first place we’ll visit is Sears Point\, the northwestern escarpment of the Sentinel Plain – a vast basaltic field dotted with low shield volcanoes located along the lower Gila River between Gila Bend and Yuma\, Arizona. Sears Point is renowned for its density of petroglyphs as well as their unique style attributed to the Patayan culture tradition (believed to be ancestral to contemporary Yuman- and O’odham-speaking communities). The site is adorned with thousands of petroglyphs and seemingly endless ancient trails. Next\, we’ll caravan to the Painted Rocks petroglyphs site northwest of Gila Bend\, and finally will visit the Gatlin Platform Mound village site in Gila Bend. Tour participants interested in having dinner together before returning home can reconvene at Sophia’s Mexican Restaurant in Gila Bend after the tour.\nReservations and prepayment required by Wednesday December 4: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.\nIF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity send an email to info@oldpueblo.org with “Send December 7 Sears Point trip flyer” in your email subject line.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “Excavations at the Creekside Village Archaeological Site near Tularosa\, New Mexico”
DESCRIPTION:Photo of the Rio Tularosa\, courtesy of David Greenwald. \nJoin Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner on November 21\, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, featuring “Excavations at the Creekside Village Archaeological Site near Tularosa\, New Mexico” presentation by archaeologist David Greenwald\, at U-Like Oriental Buffet Asian Cuisine\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd.\, Tucson. \nArchaeological investigations at the Creekside Village archaeological site in south-central New Mexico now demonstrate that the Jornada Mogollon undertook strategies that included intensive agriculture. It is now clear that the Jornada Mogollon people who occupied places such as Tularosa Canyon possessed a much more complex social and ritual structure than previously recognized. Additionally\, they possessed a greater understanding of hydraulic technology and water management strategies that allowed them to focus at a very high level on agricultural production as their primary subsistence strategy. Investigations thus far indicate that strategies involving collecting/gathering and hunting were represented to a limited extent. As investigations have progressed\, it is now apparent that the Jornada Mogollon possessed comparable levels of knowledge and applications as other agriculturalists in the American Southwest during this time. This presentation will demonstrate the level of sophistication that the people at Creekside Village possessed as expressed through their material culture. \nReservations 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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “University Indian Ruin: A Classic Period Center in the Eastern Tucson Basin”
DESCRIPTION:Photo of partly excavated Hohokam horno (earth oven) with heating stones\, at University Indian Ruin\, courtesy of Paul and Suzanne Fish. \nOn Thursday\, October 17\, 2019 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature “University Indian Ruin: A Classic Period Center in the Eastern Tucson Basin” free presentation by Professors Suzanne K. Fish and Paul R. Fish\, at a Tucson-area restaurant to be announced. \nUniversity Indian Ruin\, one of the most prominent Hohokam platform-mound community centers between A.D. 1200 and 1450\, is located in Tucson’s Indian Ridge Estates neighborhood about seven miles from downtown Tucson. In 1930\, an archaeology student donated a 13-acre portion of this archaeological site to the University of Arizona’s Department of Archaeology for student training. Eminent archaeologists Byron Cummings\, Emil Haury\, and Julian Hayden conducted extensive excavations there throughout the 1930s\, however\, only Hayden’s 1957 investigations in the vicinity of the platform mound have been comprehensively reported. The University of Arizona School of Anthropology Archaeological Field School resumed fieldwork at the site in 2010\, conducting controlled surface artifact collections over the 13-acre archaeological preserve and excavating some of the site’s residential architecture. In our October program\, guest speakers Paul and Suzanne Fish will discuss the recent investigations\, and their insights into the changing regional interaction of the Hohokam Classic period evidenced by the site’s differential acquisition of polychrome pottery and other resources from far away\, including obsidian from distant quarries\, exotic cherts\, and pottery of Zuni and Sonoran origin.\nReservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.
