We will car-caravan from Tucson to Topawa\, Arizona\, then drive 12 miles east toward Baboquivari Peak (the legendary home of the Tohono O’odham Creator deity I’itoi) to Baboquivari Camp\, a historic Civilian Conservation Corps headquarters camp site in the oak woodland just below Baboquivari Peak. From there\, trip participants who are able can go on a two-mile-roundtrip\, 1\,100-foot-elevation-difference hike (classified as very difficult) up a trail leading halfway up the peak to visit a cave site traditionally believed to be one of the homes of the deity I’itoi. After returning from the hike we will visit Picture Rock\, a small butte that contains petroglyphs and pictographs\, bedrock mortars\, and ancient artifacts. Modern Tohono O’odham offerings may be present in some of the visited locations. Artifact collecting is not permitted\, and photos are not allowed in the cave but are OK outside of it. Campers must bring their own food and water\, as there are no convenience stores or fast food nearby.\nReservations and prepayment required by Wednesday January 3: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20180106(v1)BaboquivariPeakSacredCave&PictureRockTourFlyer (link to flyer)

SUMMARY:Sears Point and Painted Rocks Petroglyphs\, and Gatlin Hohokam Site Tour
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST STARTED. On Saturday\, December 9\, 2017\, archaeologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright will guide guests on a tour of Sears Point and Painted Rocks Petroglyphs\, and the Gatlin Hohokam site. The tour group will meet at 10:00 am at Interstate 8\, Exit 78 (Spot Road)\, approximately 39 miles west of Gila Bend\, Arizona. Fee: $45 ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nPhotograph of a Sears Point petroglyph panel courtesy of Aaron M. Wright \nTour leader Aaron Wright\, a Preservation Archaeologist with Tucson’s Archaeology Southwest organization\, has research interests in paleoclimatology\, indigenous Southwest ritualism and religion\, and rock art. He will lead us first to see the seemingly countless petroglyphs and geoglyphs (intaglios; ground sculptures) on 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 (which is believed to be ancestral to contemporary Yuman- and O’odham-speaking communities). The site is adorned with thousands of petroglyphs\, and several geoglyphs\, and also is traversed by seemingly endless ancient trails. We’ll also get to see remnants of the South Gila Canal (a defunct irrigation venture from the 1880s) at and near Sears Point\, after which we’ll caravan to the Painted Rocks petroglyphs site  northwest of Gila Bend and the Gatlin Platform Mound site on the outskirts of Gila Bend\, touring until around 4:30. Tour participants interested in having dinner together before returning home can reconvene at Sophia’s Mexican Restaurant in Gila Bend at 5 p.m.\nReservations and prepayment required by Wednesday\, December 6: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n20171209(v3)SearsPointPetroglyphsTourFlyer

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham"
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham: The Sobaípuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community” presentation and video by Deni J. Seymour\, Tony Burrell\, and David Tenario at U-Like Oriental Buffet Restaurant\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd. (at River Rd.)\, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. This free program is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu.) \n \nOver the last couple of decades much has been learned about the Sobaípuri O’odham who inhabited southern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and San Pedro valleys at the dawn of written history. However\, their actual history differs substantially in many ways from commonly held notions. The archaeological and ethnohistoric research of the presenters provides new perspectives on where and how they lived\, how long they occupied the valleys of southern Arizona\, their relationship to the ancient Hohokam\, and other topics. Special reference will be made to the Sobaípuri of San Xavier del Bac (Wa:k)\, where descendant populations reside. Dr. Deni Seymour is joined by her associates\, Elder Tony Burrell and Cultural Specialist David Tenario of Wa:k\, in presenting their video entitled “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham?” followed by interactive lectures and discussions. Through these means they strive to promote understanding of the human experience through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham and their ancestors. Using discussions and interviews with Wa:k O’odham community members\, the video and subsequent discussions highlight the issues of how public policy\, politics\, and economic interest have influenced our understanding of the Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage has been shaped and in some cases erased. This program is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center.\nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT 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. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities. \n20171116(V3)ThirdThursday_DeniSeymour_WhoAreTheSobaipuri (link to flyer)

SUMMARY:“Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” Cultural Sites Tour
DESCRIPTION:Pascua Yoeme community circa 1938\, photograph courtesy of the Southwest Center\, The University of Arizona \nOn Saturday\, October 28\, 2017\, this car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina\, will start at the Bwe’u Hu’upa (Big Mesquite) site in the Santa Cruz River Park at 1317 W. Irvington Road\, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just west of the Santa Cruz River). Time: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; $25 ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nFelipe S. Molina was taught the indigenous language\, culture\, and history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and grandmother\, his grandmother’s cousin\, and several elders from Tucson’s original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern Arizona to escape the Mexi­can government’s war on and deportations of the Yoeme in the 1890s and early 1900s. By 1940 there were about 3\,000 Yoeme in Arizona\, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson\, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in Marana\, and others near Eloy\, Somerton\, Phoenix\, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina will lead this tour to places settled his­torically by Yoeme in the Tucson and Marana areas including Bwe’u Hu’upa Village\, the San Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Community (Barrio Libre)\, Pascua\, Ili Hu’upa\, Wiilo Kampo\, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its San Juan Church and plaza.\nReservations and prepayment required by Wednesday October 25: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nLink to flyer: 20171028(v2)Tucson&MaranaYoeme(YaquiIndian)CommunitiesFlyer

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "Great Moments in Dendrochronology: Important Achievements of Tree-Ring Science"
DESCRIPTION:Tree-ring cross-section photo courtesy of The University of Arizona’s Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “Great Moments in Dendrochronology: Important Achievements of Tree-Ring Science” by dendrochronologist Dr. Paul R. Sheppard at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona\, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. As a scientific discipline\, dendrochronology\, otherwise known as tree-ring science\, is just over 100 years old. In that time\, several important scientific findings have been achieved that can be considered “great moments” (a nod to Disneyland and Mr. Lincoln). It is useful to review great achievements of science in their own right\, as they usually have interesting twists and turns along the way from start to the point of being identified as important. Additionally\, reviewing multiple great moments allows for identifying shared characteristics between them that make them great and therefore could serve as guidelines for current and future research to strive to meet to also be considered notable\, i.e.\, great. We’ll look into a couple great moments of dendrochronology of the past as well as a current research project that might attain the level of being an important achievement.\nReservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT 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”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” on Thursday\, September 21\, 2017\, 6-8:30pm will feature archaeologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright who will present “Hohokam/Patayan to O’odham/Yuman: The Cultural Landscape of the Lower Gila River.” \nThe lower Gila River is a complicated cultural landscape. Though for many this remote region in southwestern Arizona is a terra incognita\, over millennia\, different cultural traditions ebbed and flowed along the river’s banks\, with generation after generation leaving their mark on the rocks and in the sand. Major rock art sites\, such as Sears Point and Painted Rock\, attest to the depth and richness of this cultural landscape. In this Third Thursday Food for Thought\, Dr. Wright will cast contemporary light on the archaeology and post-contact history of the lower Gila River. This talk will draw on recent research emerging from ongoing efforts to establish a Great Bend of the Gila National Monument. Dr. Wright will provide an overview of that effort\, and detail how collaboration with descendant communities is helping to refine broader understanding of contemporary tribal connections to this landscape. \nThis free presentation will be held at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Rd.\, in Tucson.  Reservations are required: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. PLEASE WAIT TO HEAR FROM OLD PUEBLO THAT YOUR RESERVATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BEFORE ATTENDING because the Fire Code limits how many guests we can have in the restaurant meeting room.

DESCRIPTION:Summer solstice sunset viewed through circular window in an upper story of the Great House at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (Photo by Allen Dart) \nOn Saturday\, July 22\, 2017\, archaeologist Allen Dart will present “Southwestern Rock Calendars and Ancient Time Pieces” at the Phippen Museum\, 4701 Highway 89 North\, Prescott\, Arizona\, from 1-2:30 pm.  Native Americans in the Southwest developed sophisticated skills in astronomy and predicting the seasons\, centuries before Old World peoples first entered the region. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart discusses the petroglyphs at Picture Rocks\, the architecture of the “Great House” at Arizona’s Casa Grande Ruins\, and other archaeological evidence of ancient southwestern astronomy and calendrical reckoning; and interprets how these discoveries may have related to ancient Native American rituals.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:Some pueblo rooms exposed during recent excavations at the Elk Ridge site: photograph courtesy of Barbara Roth \nOn Thursday\, February 16\, 2017 from 6-8:30 pm\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner presentation will feature “New Insights into Mimbres Pueblo Communities: Excavations at the Elk Ridge Site” by archaeologist Barbara Roth at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. Excavations in 2015 and 2016 at the Elk Ridge archaeological site\, a 200-room pueblo dating to the Classic Mimbres period (AD 1000-1130) have provided new insights into Classic Mimbres period pueblo communities. The Elk Ridge site has a sad history\, as it represented the only unlooted large Classic Mimbres pueblo until the owner of the southern portion of the site bulldozed his section prior to the passage of the New Mexico state burials-discovery law. Fortunately\, a portion of the site located on US Forest Service land remains nearly intact\, although recent damage from an arroyo cutting through the western portion of the site has exposed some pueblo rooms. Dr. Roth\, along with project co-director Dr. Darrell Creel\, has been conducting excavations of rooms exposed along this arroyo.  Their work\, and excavations directed by William Russell and Karl Laumbach on the south end of the site after it was looted\, have begun to provide new insights into this important pueblo community. In this presentation\, Dr. Roth presents some of the initial findings of their work at Elk Ridge.\nGuests 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. Because seating is limited in order for the program to be in compliance with the Fire Code\, those wishing to attend must call 520-798-1201 and must have their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date.\n**** IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO EMAIL YOU A FLYER with color photos about the above-listed activity please reply with “Send flyer” and INCLUDE THE EVENT’S DATE in your email subject line. \n

SUMMARY:"Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians"
DESCRIPTION:Watercolor by C. Kemper “Golden Valley\,” depicts the Hohokam building canals to bring life-giving water to the barren desert. \nThis free presentation will be given by archaeologist Allen Dart  for the Rim Country Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, at Fellowship Hall of the Church of the Holy Nativity\, 1414 Easy Street\, Payson\, on Saturday\, December 17\, 2016 from 10-11:30 am. The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts\, architecture\, and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying where the Hohokam lived\, interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran Desert for centuries\, and explaining why their culture mysteriously disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates the material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible interpretations about their relationships to the natural world\, time reckoning\, religious practices\, beliefs\, and deities\, and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life\, using rich illustrations of Hohokam artifacts\, rock art\, and other cultural features. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "Epics of the American Southwest: Hopi\, Dine and Hispanic Narratives of Heroes and Heroines in Mythic Literature"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, December 15\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature a presentation titled “Epics of the American Southwest: Hopi\, Diné and Hispanic Narratives of Heroes and Heroines in Mythic Literature” by Dr. Sharonah Fredrick at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant\, 5252 S. Mission Road\, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. From 6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu).\nToo often the claim is heard that there is very little ancient history or literature in the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whether it is the Hopi epics of the wanderings of Long Sash and the exploits of the Koshare twins; the Navajo legends that connect the cultures of the Southwest with the great late-Medieval stories of Toltec-Aztec Mexico; or the adventures of Spanish men and women who deserted Francisco de Coronado’s expedition in protest over Coronado’s treatment of the Native peoples\, Arizona and the whole American Southwest are a treasure trove of epic narratives. This lecture stresses the social and moral messages transmitted in these oral and written texts.\nGuests 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. Because seating is limited in order for the program to be in compliance with the Fire Code\, those wishing to attend must call 520-798-1201 and have their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date. \nEpics of the American SW flyer

SUMMARY:"Tumamoc Hill Trincheras Site" - Site Tour
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologist Dr. Suzanne K. Fish in an ancientrock-outlined structure at the Tumamoc Hill archaeological site. \nA massive trinchera (built-up rock terrace) near the crown of Tumamoc Hill. \nOn Saturday\, December 3\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will host the “Tumamoc Hill Trincheras Site” site tour with archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne K. Fish starting in the courtyard of the Mercado San Agustin\, 100 S. Avenida del Convento\, Tucson. From 9 a.m. to noon: $25 ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). \nArizona State Museum archaeologists emeriti Paul and Suzy Fish will lead this tour to the archaeological features on Tumamoc Hill\, west of downtown Tucson. In excavations that the Fishes directed on top of this landmark\, flat-topped mountain\, some of the earliest evidence for maize agriculture was found in association with the hilltop’s ca. 2\,000-year-old Native American trincheras features (massive rock-work terraces)\, and rock-foundation houses and living areas were identified to a slightly later period. There are also ca. 1\,000-year-old Hohokam petroglyphs on near the top of Tumamoc Hill. And what a view from the top! The tour is limited to five vehicles on the Tumamoc Hill road so carpooling is required and probably no more than 20 people can attend.\nReservations and prepayment required by 5 p.m. Monday\, November 28: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.
