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. For more information about the event contact Sky Roshay at 928-536-3307 or skyness54@gmail.com; for information about the presentation contact Allen Dart at 520-798-1201 or adart@oldpueblo.org.

SUMMARY:“Technological Wonders of Classical Antiquity”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesdays\, June 1\, 8\, 15\, & 22\, 2016\, this four-week noncredit class will be given by Professor Eleni Hasaki\, sponsored by University of Arizona Humanities Seminars at Helen S. Schaefer Building\, 1508 E. Helen St.\, Tucson.* What were the key technologies and major technical achievements of classical Greek antiquity? This course examines two crucial and interconnected industries: ceramics and bronze-working. The two crafts are often discussed separately\, but this course will focus on their deeply rooted connections. We will examine the qualities of the raw materials used\, the technological know-how of potters and bronze-smiths\, the pyrotechnological principles of their kilns and furnaces\, as well as the social\, political\, economic\, and cultural milieus that promoted their breakthroughs. We will explore their workshops\, toolkits\, apprenticeship structures\, and technological treatises by using ancient evidence (archaeological\, visual\, textual) as well by witnessing their enduring qualities in modern production contexts.\nEleni Masaki is an Associate Professor in School of Anthropology and the Department of  Classics\, and codirector of the laboratory for Traditional technology at the University of Arizona. Her scholarship focuses on the technologies of classical antiquity\, the spatial organization of workshops\, craft apprenticeship\, and the negotiation of social status through crafts. She directs projects in the Mediterranean (Greece. Tunisia) that promote the study of ancient and traditional technologies. 9 -11 a.m. each Wednesday; 4-week course fee $85\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, April 18\, 2016\, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society\, Raymond H. Thompson will present brief biological sketches of AAHS’s founding fathers. Dr. Thompson served as the Director of the Arizona State Museum for 34 years\, while also a Professor of Archaeology at the University of Arizona. He presided over the modernization of antiquities laws at the state and national level. As past president of the Society for American Archaeology\, Dr. Thompson was instrumental in the creation of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act. His achievements in research and museum management were equaled by his dedication to promoting stewardship of archaeological resources – what today we call cultural resource management. Dr. Thompson assisted Indian tribes in developing their own museums. He also established cooperative relationships with Mexican archaeologists and institutions. In 1998\, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the Society for American Archaeology. This free presentation will be held at Banner University Medical Center DuVal Auditorium\, 1501 N.

SUMMARY:“Archaeological Investigations of La Ciudad within the Frank Luke Addition: A Neighborhood Services Department Project”
DESCRIPTION:Logan Simpson Design photograph of Hohokam pithouse excavation at La Ciudad archaeological site in Frank Luke Addition. \nThis free presentation will be given by archaeologists Mark Hackbarth and Chris Garraty\, sponsored by the Phoenix Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix on Thursday\, April 14\, 2016 from 7-9 pm.** Archaeologists Hackbarth and Garraty will discuss recent excavations by the Logan Simpson Design consulting company in Phoenix’s Frank Luke Addition\, near a dense concentration of Classic period materials. The investigation resulted in the identification of a Pioneer and Colonial period habitation area and an area with predominantly Pioneer to Sedentary period field houses. The activities and distinctly different feature types in these areas suggests that patterns of land use and a land tenure system were established by the middle Pioneer period and were sustained over several centuries until the early Sedentary period.  ** This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event\, however\, Old Pueblo members can attend PGMA functions at PGMA‘s member-discount rates\, and vice-versa.

SUMMARY:“Retablos and Ex-votos: Personal and Public Religiosity” by Gloria Fraser Giffords
DESCRIPTION:Retablo from Gloria Fraser Giffords collection courtesy of the Arizona State Museum\, University of Arizona. \nThis presentation\, given by Gloria Fraser Giffords\, will be held at the Arizona State Museum (ASM)\, 1013 E University Blvd\, University of Arizona\, Tucson on Thursday\, April 12\, 2016 at 3:00 pm (free with museum admission). Conservator and art historian Gloria Fraser Giffords\, guest curator of ASM’s “Intimacy of Faith” exhibit\, will discuss the history\, use\, and artistry of retablos and ex-votos in Mexico. Beginning in the nineteenth century\, testimonies of faith and private devotion in Mexico took the form of oil paintings on small pieces of tin plate that became public displays of efficacy of a particular saint’s protection. In many ways\, the freshness and honesty of these retablos and ex-votos convey an intimate vitality that distinguishes itself from the otherwise formal academic style imported from Europe that permeated nineteenth-century Mexican art. The majority of retablos featured in the exhibit are from the Giffords family collection. Refreshments served.  This program is presented in conjunction with the “Intimacy of Faith” exhibit that runs through the end of May 2016. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact Darlene Lizarraga with ASM at dfl@email.arizona.edu.

SUMMARY:“Kino Missions Tour”
DESCRIPTION:Kino mission church and campo santo at Oquitoa\, Sonora; photograph by Dale Brenneman \nThis Kino Missions Tour into Sonora\, Mexico is sponsored by the Southwestern Mission Research Center (SMRC)\, and will be conducted April 8-10 (Fri-Sun)\, 2016.* More than 300 years ago\, a tireless Jesuit priest by the name of Eusebio Francisco Kino made countless forays on horseback throughout much of what is now the northern Mexican state of Sonora and Arizona. Father Kino brought with him ideas and material culture – chiefly the Christian faith\, the Spanish language\, cattle\, and crops – that would change the region deeply and forever. Join SMRC volunteers in retracing the steps of Kino and the missionaries who followed him. You’ll be guided by scholars and enthusiasts who know and love the region and volunteer their time to share it with others. Along the way you’ll stand in awe before the evocative church ruins of Cocóspera and Átil\, marvel at the mysteries of the spectral paintings on the church walls at Pitiquito\, delight in the exuberance of Magdalena\, take in the simple beauty of Oquitoa\, and bask in the rosy glow on the setting sun as it reflects off the twin towers of Caborca’s mission. You’ll take a side trip into prehistory with a visit to the archaeological site of Trincheras and its new museum. You’ll lunch al fresco near the river at Tubutama and in the shade of quince trees watered by the centuries-old acequia just across from San Ignacio’s church. And at day’s end\, you’ll savor dinner and margaritas on the patio of our host hotel. Best of all\, you’ll have many opportunities to meet the open and friendly people of Sonora whose traditions\, language\, and ethnicity combine the region’s Native and Spanish cultures\, representing the best of both worlds. And for this tour only\, we’ll be joined by Tucson’s Troubadour\, Teodoro “Ted” Ramírez\, whose roots in this region go deep to the founding of Tucson’s Presidio San Agustín in 1776.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. Passport is required. Reservation deadline March 1. For more information contact Monica Young at 520-621-6278 or mzyoung@email.arizona.edu. The cost of $525 per person includes transportation\, lodging (double occupancy)\, and meals. Tour group will depart from Hotel Tucson City Center InnSuites\, 475 N. Granada Ave.\, Tucson.

SUMMARY:“Baboquivari Peak Sacred Cave and Petroglyphs”
DESCRIPTION:Marc Severson photograph of some of the petroglyphs at Picture Rock. \n[TOUR FULL; waiting list started] On Saturday March 26\, 2016 (Easter weekend)\, in an educational adventure into Native American culture\, this tour meets in Tucson (Pima Community College\, 401 N. Bonita Ave) at 8 a.m. and travels to the Tohono O’odham (Papago) Indian Reservation for visits to the Picture Rock petroglyphs archaeological site\, the historic Baboquivari Camp\, and a Tohono O’odham traditional sacred cave site. 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).

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought “Hohokam Rock Art\, Mountain Ritualism\, and Social Transformation in the Salt River Valley”
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Aaron Wright of a complex Hohokam petroglyph panel. \nThis Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation will be given by archaeologist Dr. Aaron Wright on Thursday March 17\, 2016 at 6-8:30 PM at U Like Asian Buffet Restaurant (330 S. Wilmot Rd.\, Tucson). The South Mountains in Phoenix encompass the largest concentration of rock art in the Hohokam core area. This month’s Third Thursday presentation focuses on this mountain landscape to contextualize and date its rock art\, and to relate it to ritual structure and practice to show how the production and use of Hohokam rock art were ritualized. Presenter Aaron Wright\, who recently authored the award-winning book Religion on the Rocks: Hohokam Rock Art\, Ritual Practice\, and Social Transformation\, argues that the Hohokam rock art was not produced exclusively by religious specialists (shamans) but that there was a more equitable distribution of religious knowledge and ritual power within Hohokam communities. He also presents evidence that most or all of the petroglyphs were created durfing the Hohokam Preclassic era between A.D. 450 and 1050\, and that production and use of the rock art ebbed or even ended at the beginning of the Hohokam Classic period.\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. Wednesday March 16.
