SUMMARY:"ENCORE" Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities
DESCRIPTION:Pascua Yoeme community circa 1938\, photograph courtesy of the Southwest Center\, The University of Arizona \nOn Saturday\, February 25\, 2017\, from 8 am to noon\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will lead a car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme historian Felipe S. Molina\, starting at Bwe’u Hu’upa (Big Mesquite) site\, 1317 W. Irvington Road\, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just west of the Santa Cruz River). This is an encore opportunity for those who didn’t get their reservations requests in quickly enough for the February 11 “Yoeme Communities” tour. Felipe 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.\nTour fee is $25 ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). Reservations and prepayment required by Wednesday February 8: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.

SUMMARY:“Ventana Cave\, Rock Art & Tohono O'odham Children’s Shrine”
DESCRIPTION:Ancient pictographs inside Ventana Cave. \nOn Saturday\, February 18\, 2017 from 6 am to 4 pm\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center will sponsor a car-caravan educational tour with archaeologist Allen Dart departing from Tucson at the Park & Ride parking lot at I-10 and Ruthrauff Rd. at 6 am (northeast corner of the I-10 westbound Frontage Road at Exit 252) or at 7 a.m. on the east (front) side of the McDonalds Restaurant at 3160 N.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers this early-morning car-caravan tour to visit the Ventana Cave National Historic Landmark site and a Native American sacred site on the Tohono O’odham Nation. The Arizona State Museum’s 1940s excavations in Ventana Cave\, led by archaeologists Emil W. Haury and Julian Hayden\, found evidence for human occupation extending from historic times back to around 10\,000 years ago. The cave\, which actually is a very large rockshelter\, also contains pictographs\, petroglyphs\, and other archaeological features used by Native Americans for thousands of years. After visiting the cave we will stop at a Native American petroglyphs site and the “Children’s Shrine\,” a Tohono O’odham sacred site where legend says Tohono O’odham children were offered to the waters to stop a great flood that threatened to engulf the world. Tour leaves Tucson at 6 a.m. to ensure the pictographs can be seen 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.\nReservations and prepayment required by Wednesday February 15: 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” and INCLUDE THE EVENT’S DATE in your email subject line.

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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "The Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities"
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 17\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature a presentation “The Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” by Yoeme historian Felipe Molina at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, Oro Valley\, Arizona. From 6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu).\nYoeme (Yaqui Indian) settlement in Arizona stemmed from the Mexican government’s war with the Yoeme in the state of Sonora during the 1890s and early 1900s. Toward the end of the nineteenth century Mexico began deporting Yoeme from their homeland in Sonora to other Mexican states\, and after 1880 there was a steady migration of Yoeme into southern Arizona that reached its maximum in the early 1900s. By 1908 hundreds of Yoeme had fled into the U.S. and settled permanently here\, and in the 1920s more of them fled Mexico to seek political asylum in the U.S. and join the Yoeme settlements that by then had grown up in southern Arizona. By 1940 there were about 3\,000 Yoeme in Arizona\, mostly living in several well-established villages including Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson\, Wiilo Kampo in Marana\, and others near Phoenix\, Scottsdale\, Eloy\, and Somerton\, Arizona. In 1952 the City of Tucson annexed the original 40-acre Pascua village where many Yoeme continue to live\, and in 1978 the U.S. Government established the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation (originally called New Pascua) after granting federal recognition to the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. In this presentation\, Yoeme historian Felipe Moline will tell about the early settlement locations provided to him by his maternal grandfather and grandmother\, his grandmother’s cousin\, and several elders from Tucson’s original Pascua Village.\n[Also see February 11\, 2017 “Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” cultural sites tour announcement.]\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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “When Romans Visited Tucson: The Lead Cross Controversy”
DESCRIPTION:Some of the so-called “Tucson artifacts” courtesy of Arizona State Parks. \nOn Thursday\, October 20\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature the presentation “When Romans Visited Tucson: The Lead Cross Controversy” with archaeologist Dr. Todd W. Bostwick at a Tucson restaurant to be announced from 6-8:30 pm; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities. In 1924-1925\, a collection of unusual lead artifacts which contained mysterious inscriptions were discovered deeply buried near Silverbell Road in Tucson. These artifacts —  crosses\, crescents\, batons\, swords\, and spears — generated considerable interest  around the world when it was learned that the inscriptions contained Christian\, Muslim\, Hebraic\, and Freemasonry symbols.  The artifacts were initially interpreted as evidence that Europeans had come to America hundreds of years before Columbus\, but some scholars questioned their authenticity. This talk tells the story of their discovery and the controversies that continue to surround them. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.\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.

SUMMARY:Autumnal 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 executive director\, archaeologist Allen Dart\, will lead this tour to two of the Tucson area’s premier archaeological sites – Los Morteros and Picture Rocks site\, on Thursday\, September 22\, 2016\, 8 am to noon. Los Morteros\, an ancient village site of the Hohokam\nIndians from about A.D. 850 to 1300\, has been studied by archaeologists and historians for more than a century. During its heyday it was the center of an extended community of related Hohokam sites along the Santa Cruz River. The core of Los Morteros\, which is now preserved in a Pima County natural and cultural resources park\, encompasses a large public architectural feature interpreted as a ballcourt used for ritual and other purposes\, plus many refuse mounds\, room blocks\, hundreds of pithouses\, and thousands of artifacts. Bedrock mortars that inspired the site’s name (Los Morteros is Spanish for “the mortars”) and petroglyphs also are present. The Picture Rocks site\, located in the Tucson Mountains foothills\, contains hundreds of ancient rock symbols created mostly by the Hohokam\, although some of the rock designs may date before A.D. 500. The symbols at Picture Rocks include dancing human-like figures and whimsical animals as well as abstract designs. At least some of the petroglyphs evidently were ritually important\, as evidenced by the observation that at least one of them is a marker for both the equinoxes and the summer solstice. $20 per person ($16 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members) Cancellations made 30 days or more before departure will not be charged. Cancellations 8 to 30 days before departure will be refundable at 50% of the fee paid unless the cancelled space can be filled. Cancellations 0 to 7 days prior to departure date are not refundable.

SUMMARY:“Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 15\, 2016\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner presentation will be  “A Boot in the Door: Pioneer Women Archaeologists of Arizona” with Dr. Nancy Parezo\, at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant\, 10180 N. Oracle Rd.\, in Tucson from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The men who explored Arizona are legends in the history of the region and of anthropology\, but what about the women who accompanied them or explored by themselves?  Did you know that Matilda Coxe Stevenson was a member of the first official government survey of Canyon de Chelly or that Emma Mindeleff surveyed ruins in the Verde Valley while Theresa Russell helped her husband locate Hohokam sites? Probably not\, for none are listed in “official” histories. Learn about the hidden pioneer archaeologists of the 19th century and honor Arizona’s unsung heroines of science. Dr. Nancy Parezo is a Professor of American Indian Studies and Anthropology at the University of Arizona and an Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.\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.

SUMMARY:"Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability"
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Allen Dart on Wednesday\, August 10\, 2016\, 7-8 pm\,  for Arizona Archaeological Society Homolovi Chapter at Winslow Chamber of Commerce\, 523 W. Second St.\, Winslow\, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities* The deep time perspective that archaeology and related disciplines provide about natural hazards\, environmental change\, and human adaptation not only is a valuable supplement to historical records\, it sometimes contradicts historical data used by modern societies to make decisions affecting social sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from scientific evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in Arizona and the Southwest eventually surpassed their thresholds of sustainability\, leading to collapse or reorganization of their societies? Could the disastrous damages to nuclear power plants damaged by the Japanese tsunami of 2011 have been avoided if the engineers who decided where to build those plants had not ignored evidence of prehistoric tsunamis? This presentation looks at archaeological\, geological\, and sustainable-agricultural evidence on environmental changes and how human cultures have adapted to those changes\, and discusses the value of a “beyond history” perspective for modern society. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

Helen St.\, Tucson.*\n10 a.m. to noon  each Thursday July 7-28; 4-week course fee $85\nIn this course Professor David Soren presents four of his most significant accomplishments from his 50-year career in archaeology. First\, he will discuss his excavations at Kourion\, Cyprus\, where he uncovered a Greco-Roman city buried by the devastating earthquake of July 21\, 365\, which triggered tsunamis so powerful they demolished the Greek coast. Next\, he will tell the story of the agony of Roman emperor Augustus\, which caused him to go with the poet Horace to an exotic spa in Tuscany. Then\, he will reveal the Carthaginians\, whose general Hannibal became a name that still inspires terror in today’s world. Finally\, Dr. Soren will analyze factors that hastened the fall of Rome\, as he presents his new work with the Yale Biomedical Anthropology team about the spread of malaria across ancient Italy.\nDavid Soren is Regents Professor of Anthropology\, Classics\, and Art History at the University of Arizona\, a Fellow of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies\, and Resident of the American Academy in Rome. He has been named an Honorary Italian Citizen for his contributions to Italian archaeology and an Honorary Philhellene by the Greek Orthodox Church for his work in Cypriote archaeology.
