SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - "Himdak doo Ilna: A Way of Life - How Societies Shape Culture"
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Manuel photograph of Se-He Ki Man in the Maze with the Navajo basket\, water olla\, and natural gourd dipper. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner will feature Native American guests Royce and Debbie Manuel at Dragon’s View Asian Cuisine\, 400 N. Bonita Ave.\, Tucson from 6 to 8:30 p.m. For tribal groups in Arizona\, understanding the connections between physical\, social\, mental and spiritual identity of the people prior to birth through 102 years old is a way of life. Tribes in Arizona often illustrate their balance between patriarch and matriarch societies through symbolism. Illustrating with the Man in the maze and the Navajo basket designs\, Royce Manuel (Auk-Mierl Aw-Thum) and Debbie Nez-Manuel (Diné) unfold the general understanding of two common designs. On a community level\, Royce and Debbie are immersed in planning\, organizing\, and fundraising for an Inaugural Arizona Native Youth Leadership Summit to be held in Fort McDowell Arizona. 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.

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.

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). From our assembly point in Baboquivari Camp\, a historic Civilian Conservation Corps camp site in the oak woodland just below Baboquivari Peak\, we will take a moderate-difficulty\, two-mile-roundtrip\, 1\,000-foot-elevation-difference hike up a trail that leads 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 to the campground we will have a bring-your-own picnic lunch there\, after which 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. Registrants may either meet the tour group at 8 a.m. Saturday in Tucson and car-caravan onto the reservation\, or may camp in Baboquivari Camp on their own the night before the field trip and meet the tour group at the campground Saturday morning. Campers must bring their own food and water\, as there are no convenience stores or fast food nearby.\nThis car-caravan tour is from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. $40 ($32 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; no charge for members or employees of the Tohono O’odham Nation). Reservations required by Wednesday March 23: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org.

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.

SUMMARY:Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians
DESCRIPTION:An Ancient Family? Photograph by Arthur W. Vokes of Hohokam figurines carved from seashell. \nThe Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries.

SUMMARY:"Our America"
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Dr. Felipe Fernández-Armesto on Friday\, March 11\, 2016 at the Center for English as a Second Language\, on the University of Arizona campus at 1100 James E. Rogers Way\, Tucson at 7:00 pm.* One of our greatest historians\, Dr. Felipe Fernández-Armesto discusses our Hispanic past with insight and wit. The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of England\, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America’s Hispanic past. In his book Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States Dr. Fernández-Armesto\, a British historian of Spanish heritage and history professor at the University of Notre Dame\, recasts the pilgrimage of Hispanics in the United States as a rich and moving chronicle. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic\, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater. Reception follows presentation. This is a presentation of the Arnold and Doris Roland Distinguished Speaker Series made possible by the generosity of Arnold and Doris Roland.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:“Oasis\, Coast\, and Mountain: Land/Waterscapes of Culture and History in the Arabian Gulf”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Professor Steven C. Caton at the 24th annual Sabbagh Lecture at Tucson Marriott University Park\, 880 E. 2nd St.\, Tucson at 7:00 PM.* Our idea of the Arabian Peninsula might be that of an uninhabited (and inhospitable) desert but this obscures a more complex reality encompassing desert oasis\, coastal port settlement\, and terraced-mountain village (to name only the most prominent zones\, each of which has not only had its own environmental and cultural history but has also been intricately connected to the other complementary zones in fascinating ways).  This lecture will look at these zones as “land-water nexuses” where water (ground water\, sea\, and rain) has been made to come into contact with land (desert sand\, beach\, and mountain) by humans to create distinctive land/waterscapes. How has land and water been managed in them historically? How is land and water being managed in them today? And what might we expect of their futures? The lecture will try to answer these questions by combining archaeology\, history\, and ethnography. Steven C. Caton is the Khaled bin Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al Saud Professor of Contemporary Arab Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University. The University of Arizona School of Anthropology presents the annual Sabbagh Lectures on the Arab cultures of the Middle East from an anthropological perspective\, through the generosity of Drs.

SUMMARY:“To Shake or Not to Shake: A New Interpretation of a Devastated Foreign Landscape Depicted at Luxor Temple”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Danielle Phelps\, sponsored by Archaeological Institute of America’s Central Arizona Society and the Arizona Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix\, at 6:00 PM.* On the exterior western wall of Luxor Temple is a carved battle scene amongst the scenes that are depictions from Syria\, dating to the time of Ramesses II (ca. 1291 to 1213 BCE). The scene portrays only a collapsing migdol (a type of Syrian settlement structure) and its associated vineyards and gardens\, which appear broken and uprooted. There are no human or animal figures nor any hieroglyphs which would provide more information about why the ancient Egyptians would depict this type of scene. This presentation will examine the art historical significance of the devastated landscape and propose that the scene depicts the remains of a natural disaster\, an earthquake\, which the ancient Egyptians came upon during their military campaigns\, whereupon they declared an Egyptian victory over the already ruined landscape.

SUMMARY:Rock Art and Archaeology of Ventana Cave
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Allen Dart of Ventana Cave\, from the inside looking out. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center is offering this early-morning carpool tour onto the Tohono O’odham Nation to visit the Ventana Cave National Historic Landmark site on Saturday February 20\, 2016.  During the Arizona State Museum’s 1940s excavations in the cave\, led by archaeologists Emil W. Haury and Julian Hayden\, evidence was found for human occupation going back from historic times 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. Tour leaves Tucson (Pima Community College\, 401 N. Bonita Ave) 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. 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fee $40 ($32 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; no charge for members or employees of the Tohono O’odham Nation). Reservations required by Wednesday January 29: call 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \n  \n
