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. 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   LINK TO FLYER:     20190919(v2)_ThirdThursday_FrGregAdolf_Manila Galleon

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.

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought" Presents “Layering Diverse Relationships to Place: A View from the Top of Inscription Rock”
DESCRIPTION:“Paso por aqui” pictograph created in 1605 by Spanish explorer Juan de Oñate on Inscription Rock\, now part of El Morro National Monument\, photograph by Kelsey Hanson. \nOn Thursday\, February 21\, 2019\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Layering Diverse Relationships to Place: A View from the Top of Inscription Rock” by Kelsey Hanson. This free presentation (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant located at 5252 S. Mission Road\, Tucson from 6:00 to 8:30 pm. \nTowering high above El Morro Valley in New Mexico\, Inscription Rock is a massive sandstone promontory that has attracted diverse groups of people for centuries. Principally known for its early Spanish inscriptions\, Inscription Rock manifests a deeper\, centuries-long reverence in hundreds of petroglyphs and pictographs\, hand-and-toe-hold trails\, and pueblos. In this talk\, University of Arizona School of Anthropology Ph.D. student Kelsey Hanson addresses the question “How can we both recognize and protect diverse relationships to a single place without privileging some relationships over others?” Drawing from ongoing work to nominate the Inscription Rock Archaeological District to the National Register of Historic Places\, she demonstrates the importance of underappreciated legal mechanisms for layering historic relationships to places. This presentation will highlight the benefits of working with multiple stakeholders and the importance of proactively seeking multiple layers of protection for places of cultural significance. \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. \n20190221(V1)_ThirdThursday_KelseyHanson_InscriptionRock \n

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation “Stalking the Lieutenant: The 1871 Juh-Cushing Ambush Site”
DESCRIPTION:Lieutenant Howard Bass Cushing\, photo courtesy of Arizona Pathfinders \nOn Thursday\, January 17\, 2019\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center presents “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Stalking the Lieutenant: The 1871 Juh-Cushing Ambush Site” by Dr. Deni J. Seymour. This free presentation will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 pm at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant located at  5252 S. Mission Road\, Tucson (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu.). \nIn May 1871 U.S. Army Sergeant John Mott followed Apache footprints into history. An initial encounter and fallback was followed by an advance\, during which Lieutenant Howard Bass Cushing found his way into herodom\, falling with two others in a remote canyon in Cochise County\, Arizona Territory. This Medals of Honor ambush site has defied discovery\, despite detailed narrative accounts by survivors and a recovery party. Using Apache landscape use and ambush behavior this hallowed location has now been found\, in a discovery that brings into question many long-held misconceptions regarding Apache battle tactics and organization. It also provides important insights into assumptions we bring to our interpretation of narrative accounts\, battlefield behavior\, landscape references\, and weapons in use at the time. \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 - "300 Years After His Death Father Kino's Sonora and Arizona Missions Live On"
DESCRIPTION:Mission church at Santa Ana Viejo\, Sonora\, Mexico\, viewed from inside a nearby gazebo. Photo by Allen Dart. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought dinner presentation will feature “300 Years After His Death Father Kino’s Sonora and Arizona Missions Live On” by Father Greg Adolf. This special presentation and dinner will be held on Thursday\, December 20\, 2018 in the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist Renewal Center (PRRRC)\, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Rd.\, Tucson. Three hundred years after his death\, Jesuit Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino’s impact on Arizona and Sonora continues to shape the culture and economy of two nations\, as well as the Native American communities in this part of the world. Beginning in 1687\, and continuing for the next 24 years until his death in 1711\, Padre Kino established a string of missions and ranches across the area\, while exploring and mapping an area of 50\,000 square miles. In addition to founding almost two dozen missions and introducing Christianity to thousands of Native Americans\, Padre Kino brought about major changes in the area’s agriculture\, economics\, and\, of course\, the culture. Padre Kino introduced European tools and agricultural methods\, as well as many European fruits and grains to Arizona\, including citrus trees and wheat. The Jesuit also became one of the first and largest cattle ranchers in northern Mexico and southern Arizona\, and he trained many Native Americans to become the first cowboys in the area\, another lasting legacy. Well-known folklorist James “Big Jim” Griffith says that every time we enjoy carne asada or quesadilla\, we are paying tribute to the “Padre on Horseback”! Commemorated with heroic equestrian statues and place names across the Borderlands\, Padre Kino emerges from the historical records as a man of immense vision\, a dedicated “bridge builder” between peoples and cultures\, and a defender of the Native Peoples. \nA free tour of the Picture Rocks petroglyphs will be led by archaeologist Allen Dart at 5:00 pm\, followed by dinner at 6:00 and the presentation from 7:15 to 8:30. Dinner is $16 per person\, payable to Old Pueblo Archaeology Center by check or credit/debit card no later than 5:00 pm\, Tuesday\, Dec. 18\, so that Old Pueblo can tell PRRRC on Dec. 19 how many guests will attend. Donations will be requested during the event to benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. Call Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 no later than 5 p.m. Dec. 18 to make reservations and pay for dinner.

SUMMARY:"Dragoon Springs Stage Station-Cochise/Howard" Historic Archaeological Site Tour
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Apache wickiup rings identified at the Cochise-Howard Treaty site\, courtesy of Deni J. Seymour \nOn Saturday\, December 1\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Dragoon Springs Stage Station and Cochise-Howard Treaty Site” tours (Coronado National Forest) guided by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour and historian Norman Wisner. This tour will depart from south side of Interstate-10 at Sybil Road (Milepost 312)\, about 9 miles east of Benson\, AZ. Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (start & end times at I-10/Sybil Rd.; add your time to travel to there & back home). A $45 donation per participant ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center & Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members) 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. Wednesday November 28. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.\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 Dragoon Springs tour flyer” in your email subject line. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought: "“The Peaceful Enemies: Tucson’s Apaches de Paz\, 1786-1873"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 15\, 2018\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology’s Third Thursday Food for Thought as historian Jim Turner presents “The Peaceful Enemies: Tucson’s Apaches de Paz\, 1786-1873.” This free event will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant at 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, AZ. Guests can order their own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu. \n      Apaches de Paz\, the ‘Peaceful Enemies’ (Apachu means “enemy” in Zuni)\, were also known as Manso Apaches. When they immigrated from the Great Plains the Athapaskan-speaking Apache retained their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. That included raiding\, which led to violence and retaliatory attacks. But in 1786 New Spain’s Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez called for a plan that involved forming peace camps for the Apaches. If they agreed to settle in camps near the presidios the Apaches would receive allotments of beef\, blankets\, and guns. The Spanish army also provided the Mansos with horses and used them as auxiliary troops against other Apaches who were still raiding. The Galvez plan was successful for several decades\, and by 1871 there were still more than a hundred Apaches de Paz living near Tucson and others who had intermarried with the Tohono O’odham and lived near San Xavier Mission. \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:“Chukui Kawi/Cerro Prieto: Yoeme Sacred Mountain\, Hohokam Trincheras\, and Petroglyphs” Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 27\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center is offering the “Chukui Kawi/Cerro Prieto: Yoeme Sacred Mountain\, Hohokam Trincheras\, and Petroglyphs” car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina and archaeologist Allen Dart. Participants will be meeting at 8:00 a.m. at the McDonald’s restaurant located at 13934 N. Sandario Rd.\, Marana\, Arizona (accessible from Interstate 10 Exit 236 (Marana). \nCerro Prieto (Spanish for ‘Dark Hill’)\, a volcanic peak that rises about 900 feet above the surrounding plain in the Ironwood Forest National Monument northwest of Tucson\, is a sacred place known to the Yoeme (Yaqui Indians) as Chukui Kawi (‘Black Mountain’). Situated in close proximity to the Inscription Hill and Pan Quemado petroglyph sites\, Cerro Prieto also s one of the largest and most complex U.S. archaeological sites featuring trincheras – massive rock-work terraces built on steep hillsides. The site’s archaeological features were constructed and used by the Hohokam culture during the Tanque Verde phase (AD 1150-1300) and include house foundations\, waffle gardens\, check dams\, trail systems\, petroglyphs\, rock walls\, talus pits\, and a stone source used to produce agave knives\, suggesting its use for a variety of residential functions\, ceremonies\, and agriculture. During this trip\, Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe Molina will discuss the significance of Chukui Kawi to the Yoeme\, and archaeologist Al Dart will lead us to some of the Cerro Prieto trincheras and the nearby Pan Quemado and Inscription Hill petroglyphs.\nA $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 education programs on archaeology and Yoeme traditional culture. Reservations and donation prepayments required by 5 p.m. Wednesday October 24: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nSome petroglyphs at Inscription Hill photographed by Tom Herrick.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Dinner and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Clovis type Paleoindian projectile point discovered at the Lehner site\, Arizona State Museum photograph courtesy of Vance T. Holliday. \nOn Thursday October 18\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “In Search of the First Americans across the Greater Southwest” by archaeologist Dr. Vance T. Holliday at U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant\, 5101 N. Oracle Road\, Tucson. From 6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu). \nThe First Americans – the so-called “Paleoindians” – were the earliest hunters and gatherers to settle in the southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. They lived at a time when the climate was substantially different than today – generally cooler and wetter – and when large mammals of thke Pleistocene epoch such as mammoth\, mastodon\, horse\, camel\, dire wolf\, big cats\, and bears were still around. Clovis type projectile points made by the earliest known Paleoindian groups in the region some 13\,500-13\,000 years before present (BP) have been found with the remains of mammoth and other extinct megafauna. Paleoindian sites of the Folsom culture that succeeded Clovis ca. 13\,000-12\,000 years BP are rare in southern Arizona and Sonora but more common on the Colorado Plateau of northern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico\, in the Great Plains\, and they are locally quite dense along the greater Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico and southern Colorado. By Folsom time most of the Pleistocene megafauna were extinct except for Bison antiquus\, and Folsom people apparently became expert hunters of those now-extinct bison. Even younger Paleoindian sites of the 12\,500-11\,000 years BP era also are known from the Rio Grande region but they seem to be fewer than Folsom. By those late Paleoindian times the climate was significantly warmer and drier than during the Clovis or Folsom periods and human adaptive behavior was likely shifting toward more sedentary “Archaic” lifestyles with increased focus on plant gathering and use of local resources. \nReservations are required: 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. Reservations must be requested before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date. 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. \n20181018(v1)ThirdThursday-InSearchOfTheFirstAmericans_VanceHollidaydocx (flyer)

SUMMARY:Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Archaeological Community Tour
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Hohokam structures were exposed during the Arizona State Museum’s Marana Platform Mound Community excavations in 2003\, photo by Allen Dart. \nTOUR FILLED – WAITING LIST  On Saturday October 6\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Archaeological Community Tour” will be guided by archaeologists Paul and Suzanne Fish departing from Circle K convenience store\, 13961 N. Sandario Rd.\, Marana\, Arizona. From 8:30 a.m to noon\, $30 donation ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nUniversity of Arizona archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne K. Fish lead this tour to selected archaeological sites in one of southern Arizona’s largest ancient Hohokam communities. Our visit will include the Marana Platform Mound site (which was surrounded by 40+ residential compounds)\, a sampling of agricultural field locations including specialized ones for agave cultivation\, and a secondary compound center on the upper-basin slope of the Tortolita Mountains. The Marana Mound site is one of the very few Hohokam Early Classic period (AD 1150-1300) villages that has wholly escaped the destruction resulting from modern agriculture and urbanization and where adobe-wall remnants can be clearly identified on the surface. We also will visit the location where a segment of the nearly seven-mile-long Marana Mound site canal was identified from surface and excavated remains before that area was included in a modern housing development. These site visits will provide a basis for understanding the social and economic processes during the Early Classic period\, when processes of Hohokam centralization and population aggregation greatly accelerated. \nTour is limited to 20 people including guides. Reservations and donation prepayment required by 5 p.m. Thursday October 4. 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20181006(v1)MaranaMoundHohokamCommunityTourFlyer (flyer)

SUMMARY:“Frida's Roots: Understanding the Course of Mexican History through Frida Kahlo and Her Artwork”
DESCRIPTION:Painting of Frida Kahlo by the artist GEMDIAZ titled “Homenaje a Frida Kahlo” courtesy of Michael Brescia.     \nOn Thursday\, September 20\, 2018\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Frida’s Roots: Understanding the Course of Mexican History through Frida Kahlo and Her Artwork” by Dr. Michael M. Brescia at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\,10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. This event will be held from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. and is free (order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu). \nAs one of several artists to emerge from the violence and chaos of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920\, Frida Kahlo’s lived experiences fashioned a remarkable artistic talent that promoted across international borders mexicanidad\, or the spirit of a Mexican cultural identity. Despite living in the professional shadows of her famous husband\, the muralist Diego Rivera\, Frida added deeply personal elements to her artwork that simultaneously reflected and contributed to historical understandings of Mexican culture. In a richly illustrated PowerPoint presentation\, Arizona State Museum historian Dr. Michael Brescia will examine Frida Kahlo’s life and show just how intimately her artwork reveals the sweep of the Mexican historical experience\, from Pre-Columbian times to the mid-twentieth century. \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:“Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour”
DESCRIPTION:Tumamoc Desert Laboratory photo from theDesert Laboratory on Tumamoc. \nTOUR FULL – WAITING LIST: On Saturday July 14\, 2018\, join us for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeology\, Paleontology\, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour” starting in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustin\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson. This tour will be from 8 a.m. to noon: $25 donation ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \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\, 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. \nGiant sequoia tree cross-section atthe Laboratory of Tree-Ring Researchfrom The University of Arizona website. \n  \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 sccience 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 11: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.\n**** IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity please reply with “Send flyer for July 14” in your email subject line.

SUMMARY:“Canoa Speaks O’odham”
DESCRIPTION:NOTE LOCATION CHANGE: “Canoa Speaks O’odham” free lectures and video presentation on Saturday\, May 19\, 2018 at Historic Hacienda de la Canoa\, 5375 S. I-19 Frontage Rd.\, Green Valley\, Arizona. Co-sponsored by the Friends of Canoa\, Arizona Humanities\, and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. This event will be held from 1:00-2:30 p.m.\, with a $10 suggested donation. \nHistorically\, the Canoa vicinity of the Santa Cruz River valley south of San Xavier del Bac was an important stop for travelers\, offering a constant source of water in the dry Sonoran Desert. Historic maps from the time of Father Kino (1690s) show a “water hole” in this valley segment and later maps associate it with “canoas\,” hollowed-out cottonwood logs used as troughs to supply fresh drinking water. To date\, very little historical information has been shared about this region\, which from early times had been inhabited by Sobaípuri\, Akimel\, and Tohono O’odham who trace their ancestry to the more ancient Hohokam and Middle Santa Cruz archaeological cultures. In 2013\, Pima County acquired the 4\,800-acre property that includes the historic Canoa Ranch and began efforts to restore the ranch headquarters and open it to the public for tours\, fostering a demand by the public to know more about the region’s history. This year the Friends of Canoa Heritage Foundation teamed with Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center to help meet this demand by producing a series of four short “Canoa Speaks O’odham” video segments narrated in both English and the O’odham native tongue\, since language preservation is a key element for this project. Each video shares rare insights into the traditions of the O’odham\, and combined cuts from each of the short videos have been incorporated into a longer video that will be shown for the first time at this May 19 public lecture and movie event. Old Pueblo’s Executive Director Allen Dart will open the program with a presentation about the archaeology of the Canoa area\, and Adam Andrews\, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation’s San Xavier District\, will follow with a discussion of modern San Xavier and Tohono O’odham Nation education\, government\, and cultural affairs. The event culminates in the “Canoa Speaks O’odham” video to encourage audience discussion on language preservation and tribal communications. Subsequently the videos will be published online at www.VisitCanoa.comt to complement information shared in the recently completed heritage interpretive-signage project at the Interstate-19 Canoa Rest Area. \nFor more information contact Dawn Morley at 520-289-3940 or inspired@visitcanoa.com. \nMap created by Pima County GIS Maps showing the limits of the historic Canoa Ranch south of Tucson in 1953.
