SUMMARY:“Native in a Strange Land: The Life of Mike Burns\, Indian Scout”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Gregory McNamee and sponsored by the nonprofit Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix on Wednesday\, April 6\, 2016 from 7:30-9 pm.** Mike Burns lived a long life in two worlds. Born in about 1862 into the Kwevkepaya (Yavapai) people\, he was taken prisoner by U.S. soldiers after his family was massacred at a place called Skeleton Cave. He lived for years as something between a captive and a servant until joining the Indian Scouts\, riding against Sitting Bull after the Battle of Little Bighorn and Geronimo in the Apache Wars. As editor of Burns’s memoir The Only One Living to Tell\, McNamee recounts Burns’s life in the context of nineteenth-century Arizona history in this presentation. His book will also be available for purchase at the lecture. This event is free and open to the public\, made possible by Arizona Humanities and the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary. Donations are welcome.\n** 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. For details contact Pueblo Grande Museum at 602-495-0901 or pueblo.grande.museum.pks@phoenix.gov.

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). 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. 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. This free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for “History Speaks” series at The Museum of Casa Grande (110 W. Florence Blvd\, Casa Grande\, AZ) will be held on Saturday March 12\, 2016 from 2:00-3:00 PM. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

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. For more information contact Darlene Lizarraga at dfl@email.arizona.edu.

SUMMARY:"Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians"
DESCRIPTION:William L. Deaver photo of Hohokam Tanque Verde Red-on-brown lobed “squash” jar\, smudged with fire clouds \nThis free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart will be held at Red Rock State Park\, 4050 Red Rock Loop Rd.\, Sedona\, Arizona from 2 – 3 PM\, cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities* 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.  * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored 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. Entisar and Adib Sabbagh\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact the U of A School of Anthropology at 520-621-2585 or anthro@email.arizona.edu.

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. Danielle Phelps is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
DESCRIPTION:This exploratory excavation at the Harris site exposed the hearth and entryway of a Three Circle phase kiva and provided evidence that the site’s residents “ritually retired” this kiva before building a much bigger one. Photo courtesy of Barbara J. Roth. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring presentation “Kiva Rituals\, Powerful People\, and Community Development in the Mimbres VAlley\, New Mexico” will be given by UNLV Professor Barbara J. Roth at ULike Asian Buffet Restaurant\, 330 S. Wilmot Rd.\, Tucson on February 18\, 2016 from 6:00-8:30 pm. In this presentation\, University of Nevada-Las Vegas Anthropology Professor Barbara J. Roth explores the role of ritual in the development of communities in the Mimbres Valley of southwestern New Mexico from A.D. 500-1100. Barbara’s recent archaeological excavations at the Harris site pithouse village in the valley has shown the important role of kiva rituals in keeping the community working together. As populations grew\, certain individuals within these communities gained power\, possibly due to their sponsorship of and participation in these rituals and associated feasts. In some communities like the Harris site these powerful individuals were not able to maintain their status\, while in others they used their status to become “core households” as pueblos developed. At the Harris site\, Barbara and her research crews have excavated many pithouses\, two kivas\, and an associated plaza examining the relationships among powerful people\, rituals\, and community development. She will discuss what happened at Harris when this all fell apart and explore the reasons why we don’t see this same thing happening at other sites in the Mimbres Valley\, but instead see the later construction of large Classic period Mimbres pueblos. 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. 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 February 17.

SUMMARY:"Tales from the Dark Side: Cave Archaeology in Western Belize and its Implications for the Decline of Maya Civilization”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by Dr. Jaime Awe for Desert Foothills Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, will be held at the Foothills Community Foundation (Holland Community Center)\, 34250 N. 60th St. Building B\, Scottsdale\, Arizona at 7:00 PM* In Maya cosmology\, few locations were (and are) considered more sacred or ritually charged than caves.  Representing portals to the netherworld and places of origin\, these dark subterranean sites also served as the abode for important\, powerful\, and often capricious deities.  The Maya further believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors descended to the watery underworld where they could eventually be reborn.  Caves were thus places of death and creation because of their sacredness both the ancient Maya and their descendants visited and visit these sites to conduct rituals.  Until recently\, intensive scientific investigations of cave sites are rare.  In an effort to address the latter bias\, the Western Belize Regional Cave Project embarked on a multi-year research program designed to ascertain the nature of Maya cave utilization.  By combining ethnographic and ethnohistoric information with data from archaeological investigations\, this presentation provides evidence which suggests that the Maya visited caves in an effort to communicate with particular gods or ancestral spirits and the primary focus of their ritual activities were directed toward sustenance and agricultural fertility\, and that intensified cave ritual in the ninth century A.D. was intrinsically related to factors that led to the decline of Maya civilization.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.
