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. 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.

The cave (actually a very large rockshelter) also contains pictographs\, petroglyphs\, and other archaeological features used by Native Americans for thousands of years. Tour leaves Tucson at 6 a.m. to view the pictographs in the best morning light. Fees will benefit the Tohono O’odham Hickiwan District’s efforts to develop a caretaker-interpretive center at Ventana Cave\, and the nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s education programs. \n      Reservations and prepayment required by Wednesday\, February 12\, 2020.

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.

SUMMARY:“Feminist Theory and an Engendered Archaeology: Where We’ve Been and Where We Are Going”
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.

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 - "The Manila Galleon and the Opening of the Trans-Pacific West"
DESCRIPTION:Galleon illustration provided by Father Greg. \nOn Thursday\, September 19\, 2019 from 6:00-8:30 pm\, join us for dinner at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant (located at 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson)\, followed by a presentation by Father Greg Adolf who will discuss “The Manila Galleon and the Opening of the Trans-Pacific West.” In this presentation\, local historian Father Greg Adolf will introduce the Spanish Empire’s Manila Galleons – the first  and perhaps most enduring cultural bridge of the trans-Pacific region. The first of the Galleons crossed the Pacific in 1565\, and the last in 1815. During the two and a half centuries between\, the galleons made the long and lonely voyage between Manila in the Philippines and Acapulco in Mexico. The Manila Galleons forever changed the material culture of the Spanish Americas. To the Californias and the Spanish settlements of Arizona’s and Sonora’s Pimería Alta\, they furnished the motive and drive to explore and populate the long California coastline. The Manila Galleon trade impacted every level of Spanish American culture. \nThis presentation is free (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense). Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:“Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour”
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 20\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will conduct the “Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories” tour\, from 8:00 am to noon. The tour will start in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustin\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson. There is a $25 requested donation for this tour ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). This 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\, Dr. Ben Wilder will lead us through the Tumamoc Desert Laboratory\, which 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. In 1940 the Carnegie Institution sold it to the US Forest Service for $1\, and in 1956 the UA bought it from the U.S. government\, promising in the deed to use it solely for research and education. During its 115 years of existence the Tumamoc Hill and Desert Laboratory staff have been on the cutting edge in the fields of paleontology and desert ecology.\nThe 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. Then after we leave there we will return to the Mercado so carpoolers can get back into their own vehicles\, and we will caravan from the Mercado to the LTRR for the second tour segment. Reservations and donation prepayments are required by 5 p.m. Wednesday July 17: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nTour flyer: 20190720(v1)TumamocDesertLab-TreeRingLabTourFlyer

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents "“Whiskey is for Drinking\, Water is for Fighting Over: Spain’s Impact on Law and Natural Resources in the American West”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Whiskey is for Drinking\, Water is for Fighting Over: Spain’s Impact on Law and Natural Resources in the American West” by historian Dr. Michael M. Brescia at a Tucson-area restaurant to be announced. This free presentation will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense). \nWe tend to think that Spain’s historical influence in Arizona and the greater Southwest is confined to language and religion\, but its impact on law and agrarian practices tells us the fascinating story of water and the rhythms of daily life. Despite the 164 years that have passed since Arizona and southwestern New Mexico entered the United States (and 170 years for other places like California and northern New Mexico)\, American Indians and the Hispanic descendants of the first Spanish conquistadors continue to call upon old Spanish law to defend their rights to natural resources. Dr. Brescia examines how the Spanish empire defined property and natural resources during the colonial period\, the reasons why Spanish water rights are taken into consideration by the U.S. judicial system today\, and the inevitable clash that has taken place between two legal systems — American common law and Hispanic civil law – in the adjudication of water disputes in the Southwest.\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. 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.\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 April 18 Third Thursday flyer” in your email subject line.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "The Hohokam Landscape during Times of Transition”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Henry D. Wallace showing partial excavation of the ancient Hohokam settlement at the Pima Animal Care Center\, courtesy of Desert Archaeology\, Inc. \nOn Thursday\, March 21\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought dinner presentation will be “The Hohokam Landscape during Times of Transition” by archaeologist Dr. Michael Lindeman. This free presentation will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, Tucson from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense.) \nPartially covered by the parking lots and outbuildings of the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC)\, lay a unique piece of the prehistoric Hohokam landscape. Settlement at PACC can be divided into two distinct episodes. The Tortolita phase (ca. A.D. 570-670) occupation corresponds with the founding of Hohokam villages throughout southern and central Arizona. The Late Rincon/Tanque Verde phase (ca. A.D. 1150-1250) occupation occurred during the transition between the Hohokam pre-Classic and Classic periods. Environmental constraints combined with the existing social landscape likely led to the abandonment of the Tortolita habitation at PACC\, but not the place. Investments made in the land and the rights to those lands remained tied to the social group who moved from PACC. Evidence suggests that the floodplain adjacent to PACC continued to be farmed long after habitation at PACC ceased. As pre-Classic villages began to fragment in the 11th and 12th centuries\, people returned to the abandoned settlement at PACC\, drawn by their long-held ties to the land. New habitation structures were constructed within the old plaza\, the physical and social center of the abandoned village. Though not “occupied” for 450 years\, the rights to the farmlands associated with the place had been maintained through time. During a time of social stress\, the holders of those rights\, real or created\, returned. \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:“Spring Equinox Tour of Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Tom Herrick of equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour of Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart will be held on Wednesday\, March 20\, 2019 from 8:00 am to noon. Group will depart near Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona. Requested donation of $25 ($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 19. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20190320(v2)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour
