SUMMARY:Archaeology and Climate Change: Reconstructing El Niño on the North Coast of Peru
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation will be given by Dr. Gary Huckleberry at the 5th Annual Arizona Scitech Festival at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix at 1:00 PM.* As scientists watch the development of possibly the strongest El Niño in almost 20 years\, the question arises as to how often such weather events happened in the past and what effects they had on ancient societies. Gary Huckleberry will present on-going research from coastal Peru where scientists are studying geological and archaeological evidence for past El Niños and trying to understand their role in the rise and fall of ancient Prehispanic states. Studies that integrate climate change and archaeology provide context to current challenges related to global warming. Gary Huckleberry has conducted 30 years of geoarchaeological consulting and research in western North America and coastal Peru.\n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information call 602-534-1573 or visit pueblogrande.com or azscitechfest.org.

SUMMARY:Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart\, which is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and the Pima County Public Library\, will be held on Saturday\, January 23\, 2016 from 11:00 to noon at the Joel Valdez Main Library (101 N. Stone Ave.\, Tucson). 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. For more information contact librarian Matt Landon at 520-594-5565 or matt.landon@pima.gov or contact Allen Dart at 520-798-1201 or adart@oldpueblo.org.Photo of centuries-old Hohokam Indian checkdams on Tumamoc Hill\, Tucson\, AZ.

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought"
DESCRIPTION:“Apaches and Their Horses” dinner presentation will be given by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour on Thursday\, January 21\, 2016 (restaurant to be determined later)\, 6:00-8:30 PM. A traditional Apache story goes that the people did not become the Apache until the adoption of the horse – which is said to have triggered the raiding adaptation. In this presentation Dr. Seymour will address this and many other notions about the Apache and their horses. No doubt\, horses played a central role in the Apachean world but the horse divide is not as pronounced as thought. She will discuss various ways in which horses changed the ancestral Apache lifeway\, how horses survived and thrived without European horse culture\, how horses shaped warfare and intercultural relations\, and how horses were intertwined with family and inter-band relations through horse trading and gambling. While the horse is maintained in contemporary culture\, archaeological traces document the animal’s historical role in rock art\, horse bones\, landscape use\, and artifacts. Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’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 PM Wednesday\, January 20.

SUMMARY:"Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery"
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 20\, 2016\, a free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for the Heard Museum Guild’s “history of pottery” series will be held at the Heard Museum’s Steele Auditorium\, 2301 N. Central Ave.\, Phoenix from 10:00-11:00 AM. Dart will show Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific eras in the U.S. Southwest prior to about A.D. 1300\, and discuss how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He will discuss the importance of context in archaeology\, how the things people make change in style over time\, and how different styles are useful for identifying different cultures and for dating archaeological sites. His many illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the American Southwest from about 2\,000 to 700 years ago\, as a prelude to the Heard’s January 28 and February 4 presentations about post-1300 Acoma\, Hopi\, and other Southwestern pottery types. For more information contact David Rothberg at 602-750-3248 (cell)\, 602-224-9674 (home)\, or dwesthawk@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Charlie Bell Canyon Petroglyphs and Archaeology Tour with Rick & Sandy Martynec
DESCRIPTION:Just a few of the many petroglyphs in the Charlie Bell Well locality. \nCharlie Bell Canyon offers the easiest east-west passage through the rugged Growler\nMountains between the Growler and Daniels Valleys west of Ajo\, Arizona. Today there is a\nnatural seep there known as Charlie Bell Well and\, almost certainly\, water was available in\nthe past\, perhaps for millennia. In the 1990s our tour leaders Rick and Sandy Martynec mapped and rerecorded the archaeological features in the canyon for the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge.* Perhaps the most fascinating finding of the study is the more than 3\,400 petroglyphs\, 2\,700 of which were discovered within 700 feet of the well. Based on weathering\, subject matter\, and the manner in which the petroglyphs were created\, most of them are believed to date to the Archaic period\, ca. 8000 BC-AD 500. Among the petroglyphs are thousands of grinding implements and ceramic\, flaked stone\, shell\, and historical artifacts. Lithic artifacts include dozens of projectile points\, many of them Archaic types. Patayan\, Hohokam\, and Trincheras ceramics are represented and the abundance of shell artifacts indicates that jewelry was produced in the canyon. Dozens of trails traverse the canyon eastward and westward\, and foot traffic on several of them was so intense it wore nearly 20-inch-deep trenches into bedrock caliche. Boulders with petroglyphs and cupules\, and numerous rock piles – possibly shrines – are alongside the trails\, as are circular arrangements of rocks believed to be sleeping circles\, other rock structures\, and some huge\, linear rock piles that were constructed perpendicular to trails\, essentially blocking them. \nParticipants may meet the tour either in Tucson at 6:30 a.m. at the Pima Community College Community Campus\, 401 N. Bonita Ave. or in Ajo at 9 a.m. at the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge office\, 1611 N. 2nd Ave. Bring your own lunch and water. No collecting of artifacts or natural materials is allowed. Tour fee is $45 per person ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members). Tour fees will help Old Pueblo Archaeology Center continue its archaeology and culture education programs.

SUMMARY:“Reverse Engineering Salado Polychrome Pottery”
DESCRIPTION:Andy Ward firing pottery at the 2015 Southwest Kiln Conference; photo by Pam Herring. \nAndy Ward will be give this free presentation and pottery firing demonstration on Museum Day (December 19\, 2015) at Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve\, 3711 W Deer Valley Rd\, Phoenix from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. In the late thirteenth century a new type of pottery called Salado polychrome appeared across a broad swath of the American Southwest. A better understanding of the technology used to create this ware will help answer some of the questions related to Salado as a cultural phenomenon. Potter and independent researcher Andy Ward will discuss how he has used the process of “reverse engineering” to successfully reproduce Salado polychrome and the lessons he has learned along the way. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. No reservations required. For more information contact Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve at 623-582-8007. \n

SUMMARY:"Third Thursday Food for Thought"
DESCRIPTION:“From Hohokam to Salado: The Kayenta Diaspora in the Southwest” dinner presentation with Dr. Jeffery J. Clark on Decemeber 17\, 2015\, 6-8:30 PM at U-Like Oriental Buffet Asian Cuisine\, 5101 N. Oracle Rd. (at River Rd.) in Tucson. Dr. Clark will discuss and illustrate how an estimated 5\,000 to 7\,500 Kayenta people from northeastern Arizona immigrated to and through the Colorado Plateau and Mogollon region during the late 13th century\, some of them ultimately reaching southeastern Arizona where they encountered highly sedentary irrigation communities with variable ties to the Hohokam World. Although the Kayenta were a dispersed minority\, they resisted assimilation and retained some aspects of their homeland identity\, causing some tense initial relations with the populations already living in lands where the immigrants had resettled. After a generation or two\, however\, tensions abated as indicated by widespread exchange of Salado polychrome pottery and obsidian from southwestern New Mexico. \nMake your reservations by calling Old Pueblo Archaeology Center at 520-798-1201. Reservations are required by 3 PM on the day before the dinner because the Fire Code limits meeting room capacity and because the restaurant needs advance notice to schedule their staff. \n20151217(V2)_ThirdThursday_JefferyClark_FromHohokamToSalado-TheKayentaDiaspora

SUMMARY:“Southwestern Rock Calendars and Ancient Time Pieces”
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation is sponsored by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in Salt River Community Building\, 1880 N. Longmore Road\, Scottsdale  (just north of the intersection of McDowell Road and Longmore) on Tuesday\, December 15\, 2015 from 6:00-8:00 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. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact Shane Anton at 480-362-6331 or shane.anton@srpmic-nsn.gov.

SUMMARY:"Chichén Itzá\, City of the Sacred Well"
DESCRIPTION:This is a free presentation by Dr. Thomas H. Wilson\, sponsored by Phoenix Chapter\, Arizona Archaeological Society\, at Pueblo Grande Museum\, 4619 E. Washington St.\, Phoenix on Friday\, December 11\, 2015 at 7:00 pm. The great site of Chichén Itzá in the northern Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico has fascinated the world ever since the visits of John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood in the 1840s. Archaeological work at Chichén Itzá revealed that many buildings there resemble those found elsewhere in Yucatán\, such as Uxmal\, Kabah\, and Labna\, whereas others are a stark departure from the more common Mayan architecture of the peninsula. Who were the peoples who created one of the great sites of the ancient world? What do the different architectural styles mean? What is the relationship of the Yucatecan sites and the great Maya cities to the south\, such as Tikal\, Yaxhilán and Palenque? Dr. Wilson\, Director of the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa\, earned his Ph.D. studying Chichén Itzá in the 1970s. Join him as he revisits Chichén Itzá based on a recent trip to Yucatán. This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more information contact visit http://www.azarchsoc.org/Phoenix/.

SUMMARY:"Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World"
DESCRIPTION:A bronze sculpture to be discussed by Kenneth Lapatin. You’d be surprised by what you don’t see in this cropped photo! \nThis free presentation\, sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America Central Arizona Society\, will be held on Thursday\, December 3\, 2015 at 6:00 PM. Presentation will be given by Kenneth Lapatin\, Associate Curator of Antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum and principal organizer of its current exhibition that has united 50 significant bronzes of the Hellenistic age. During the Hellenistic period from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until the establishment of the Roman Empire in 31 B.C.\, the medium of bronze drove artistic innovation. Sculptors moved beyond Classical norms\, supplementing traditional subjects and idealized forms with realistic renderings of physical and emotional states. Bronze – surpassing marble with its tensile strength\, reflective effects\, and ability to hold fine detail – was employed for dynamic compositions\, dazzling displays of the nude body\, and graphic expressions of age and character. Cast from alloys of copper\, tin\, lead\, and other elements\, bronze statues were produced in the thousands: honorific portraits of rulers and citizens populated city squares\, and images of gods\, heroes\, and mortals crowded sanctuaries. Few\, however\, survive. New discoveries appeared with works known for centuries\, and several closely related statues were presented side by side for the first time in this Getty Museum exhibition. This presentation will be held at the Benedictine University\, Main Campus Building Community Room\, 225 E. Main Street\, Mesa\, AZ. For more information contact Almira Poudrier at apoudrie@asu.edu.

SUMMARY:"The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments"
DESCRIPTION:This free presentation by archaeologist Deni Seymour is sponsored by the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society\, which will be held on Monday\, November 16\, 2015 at the Banner University Medical Center in the Duval Auditorium (1501 N. Campbell Ave.\, Tucson) at 7:30-9:00 PM. Seymour will present evidence from recent research that ancestral Apaches were in the southern Southwest at least as early as the A.D. 1300s. Some of this evidence comes from chronometric dates obtained from a feature type that comparative ethnographic information (including rarely used land claims documents) indicates were used for storage. These features\, called platform caches\, provide rare and ideal material for accurate dating because they are often covered with grass or leaves. Other evidence (pottery\, roasting pits\, etc.) will also be presented that support a continuous sequence of use from at least as early as the A.D. 1300s through the late 1700s. For more information on this presentation visit www.az-arch-and-hist.org or contact John D. Hall at 520-205-2553 or jhall@sricrm.com.

SUMMARY:Solar-Petroglyph Interaction at Casa Malpais
DESCRIPTION:“Third Thursday Food for Thought” Dinner and Presentation With Archaeology Technician Thomas P. Robinson. Through time\, the world’s cultures have used different media to express their belief systems that give structure and meaning to everyday life. Rock art is a common form that is highly visible in the southwestern U.S. Studies have attempted to segregate images by culture styles\, and associations or interpretations by current Native American participants.\nHowever\, anthropological and ethnological studies show that cultural world views change through time according to shifts in natural forces (resources) and external factors of contact (exchange\, warfare) and can modify social and ritual structures to adjust to that change. Retouch or repecking of rock art and additions by practitioners or later cultures with similar world views and experiences has added layers of complexity.\nIn this presentation\, Thomas Robinson will present a new way of looking at solar-calendric function of some petroglyphs that may offer insights into the larger operating belief systems in which specific imagery details are fluid and easily used by new or evolving society groups and clans in accepting roles in the overall social structure. At Casa Malpais\, a great kiva and pueblo site in east -central Arizona\, distinctly characteristic petroglyphs provide an opportunity to test hypotheses of image type\, groupings\, and solar shadow-and-light movement across the images\, and suggest society/kiva requisites. \nThere is no entry fee. Donations will be requested to benefit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s educational efforts. Guests may select & purchase dinner from the restaurant’s menu.\nRESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED by 3 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program because the Fire Code limits meeting room capacity and because the restaurant needs advance notice to schedule sufficient staff for our event. Contact Old Pueblo at 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org for your restaurant reservation or more information. \n
