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

SUMMARY:The Billingsley Hopi Dancers
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “The Billingsley Hopi Dancers” by Kenneth Zoll at ****[restaurant to be announced]\, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities \n6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) \n \nPhoto of M. W. Billingsley and his group of Hopi Snake Dancers at the 1939 New York World’s Fair \nIn 1921 the Hopi were told that “church people” petitioned Congress to stop their “pagan” dancing. A platform was erected on the U.S. Capitol steps where both Houses of Congress assembled with their families to see the Hopi dancers. Following the performance\, Congress passed a Resolution giving the Hopi permission to carry on their dancing “for all time.” The dancers continued to perform culminating in performances at Carnegie Hall in 1955. The Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Hopi Tribe jointly received a grant to preserve a rare 1957 film of the dancers. This presentation provides background and shows the film. \nKenneth Zoll is the Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. He is also a site steward with the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office\, and a volunteer docent at cultural heritage sites in the Coconino National Forest. He has conducted extensive fieldwork in cultural astronomy of the Southwest and is a certified instructor in cultural astronomy with the Arizona Archaeological Society. Zoll is the author of several popular books on cultural astronomy and rock art in Central Arizona\, as well as several cultural astronomy articles in professional publications. \nThis 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. Wednesday April 15.

SUMMARY:Ancient Native American Pottery Replication Workshop: Corrugated Ware of the Mogollon Culture
DESCRIPTION:Saturday and Sunday April 11 & 12\, & Sunday April 19\, 2015 \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center\, 2201 W. 44th Street\, just west of La Cholla Blvd.\, ½-mile north of John F. Kennedy Park\, Tucson. \n9 a.m. to noon & 1-4 p.m. on first two days; 9 a.m. to noon on second Sunday. Fee $70 ($56 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members); each participant must provide a small water bowl\, hand towel\, & 2 plastic grocery bags; clay & all other class materials are provided. \nIn this workshop students will explore and authentically recreate corrugated pottery as it was made by the prehistoric Mogollon culture. Mogollon corrugated pottery is sometimes overlooked because it is not flashy like polished and painted pottery types\, but a close examination reveals an elegance of form and sophisticated techniques used in construction. Workshop participants will learn the history of these pottery types and experience the entire process of reproducing them from processing raw materials\, to hand coiling vessels\, culminating in an authentic outdoor pottery firing. This workshop will take place over the course of one weekend during which the pots are created completely then left to dry\, followed later by a Sunday morning in which we will fire all the pottery produced. Each participant will leave with a beautiful\, authentic\, finished reproduction of a prehistoric corrugated pot. Any participants who are unable to attend the later firing can arrange to have their pots fired and shipped to them (student pays for shipping). \nInstructor Andy Ward is a diligent student of southwestern prehistory and archaeology who has worked with archaeologists to locate resources in field surveys and in excavations. He began working to reproduce prehistoric pottery while still in high school and has successfully recreated many of the prehistoric pottery types of southern Arizona. \nReservations required: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org

SUMMARY:Arizona State Museum Research at Rock Art Ranch: Filling in Space and Time
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Arizona State Museum Research at Rock Art Ranch: Filling in Space and Time” by Richard C. Lange at Dragon’s View Asian Cuisine\, 400 N. Bonita Avenue\, Tucson (just west of the Santa Cruz River between St. Mary’s Rd. & Congress St.) \n6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu) \nPhoto of Arizona State Museum excavations at an ancestral Hopi pueblo archaeological site\, courtesy of Richard C. Lange \nIn the mid-1980s a consortium of concerned archaeologists\, agencies\, tribal representatives\, and citizens met to protect the ancestral Hopi villages called “Homol’ovi” near Winslow in northeastern Arizona. The plan focused on protecting the sites from further vandalism\, and resulted in the designation of Homol’ovi State Park and the founding of the Homol’ovi Research Program (HRP) at the Arizona State Museum\, University of Arizona (ASM). Between 1984 and 2006\, HRP surveyed the park area (approximately 20 square miles) and excavated in 6 of the 7 pueblos recognized as part of this Pueblo IV (AD 1300s) settlement cluster. However\, the HRP’s recent research in the Rock Art Ranch area just 20 miles south of Homol’ovi resulted in a complete surprise\, showing very different histories and settlement patterns just within this small region. Guest Speaker Rich Lange\, Associate Director the ASM HRP\, discusses the findings of this fascinating research project. \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 18.

SUMMARY:Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians
DESCRIPTION:“Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Copper Queen Library\, 6 Main St.\, Bisbee\, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities* \n5:30-6:30 p.m. Free \n \n“Hohokam Family” photograph by Arthur W. Vokes of Hohokam carved seashell ornaments \nThe Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries\, and the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Tohono O’odham (Papago) occupied this region historically. Ancient Hohokam artifacts\, architecture\, and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying where the Hohokam lived\, for interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran Desert for centuries\, and explaining why the Hohokam 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\, their time reckoning\, religious practices\, beliefs\, and deities\, and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

SUMMARY:Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:“Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social Sustainability” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Arizona Archaeological Society\, San Tan Chapter\, at San Tan Historical Society Museum\, 20435 S. Old Ellsworth Road (southeast corner of Ellsworth and Queen Creek Roads)\, Queen Creek Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities* PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: 7-8:30 p.m. Free \nPhoto of centuries-old Hohokam Indian checkdams on Tumamoc Hill\, Tucson\, Arizona \nThe 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. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities. \n* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event.

SUMMARY:Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest
DESCRIPTION:“Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest” adult education class with archaeologist Allen Dart\, RPA\, for OLLI-UA Green Valley members at First American Title\, 101 S.

Agriculture was introduced into southern Arizona more than 4\,000 years ago\, and irrigation systems were developed here by at least 3\,500 years before present – several hundred years before irrigation was established in ancient Mexico. This study session provides an overview of ancient Native American irrigation systems identified by archaeologists in the southern Southwest and discusses their implications for understanding social complexity. \n      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.
