SUMMARY:“An Incredible Family History Unearthed: How a Search for the Past Can Redefine the Present and Future” Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 17\, 2025\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program featuring “An Incredible Family History Unearthed: How a Search for the Past Can Redefine the Present and Future” by historian Blanca Carrasco. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nBlanca Monica Marina Garza Enriquez Espinoza Perez Crispin Tijerina Cortez Salinas\, who was born in Torreón\, Mexico and has lived in El Paso\, Texas for over 30 years\, once was told that many of her last names might have Sephardic and/or crypto-Jewish origin. Looking into why\, she learned that her biological father is a descendant of Marcos Alonso de La Garza y del Arcon\, co-founder of Monterrey\, Nuevo Leon\, Mexico\, a center for crypto-Jews since Spanish Colonial times. In his lineage\, she found Constanza de la Garza\, possibly her 13th grandmother\, a crypto-Jew who was tried by the Spanish Inquisition and died in house-arrest. Finding this ancestry strengthened Blanca’s spiritual and community commitment and sense of connection\, and turned out to be a life-changing experience that took her from the Catholic Church to Judaism\, a religion that originally seemed distant and foreign. She learned that finding one’s roots can shape a person’s sense of self and their life choices. This presentation dares ask: “How does one truly identify ethnicity? How do we claim our heritage?” In short\, the question “How did I get here?” is as important as “Who am I?” \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R1DWgzhuStiUP_8VdMzttA.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation “Crossing the Akimel to Snaketown: The Ancestral Connection to Modern Day O’Odham”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “Crossing the Akimel to Snaketown: The Ancestral Connection to Modern Day O’Odham” by archaeologist Reylynne Williams (Akimel O’Odham). This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe O’Odham village of Snaketown is located on the Gila River Indian Community and situated north of the Gila River within the respective District Four Stotonic Community. When Akimel O’Odham archaeologist Reylynne Williams accepted Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s invitation to give this presentation\, she wrote\, “Snaketown was infamous for the archaeology conducted in 1934-35 and 1964-65 expeditions but not for its connection with the Akimel O’Odham of the Gila River Indian Community. Let’s go on a journey together experiencing the life\, sounds and culture of the Akimel O’Odham at Snaketown. \nThe 1930s and 1960s archaeological excavations at Snaketown that defined the “Hohokam archaeological culture” were conducted with little input from Indigenous Akimel O’Odham (the River People) of the Gila River valley who count Snaketown’s ancient residents as their ancestors. In this presentation Ms. Williams\, the Gila River Indian Community’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer\, will discuss what Snaketown means to the O’Odham. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nrvhg5O2SAWtZm0M7bx1Mg.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FILLED – WAITING LIST  Join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart on Thursday\, March 20\, 2025\, from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. Guests will be departing from near Silverbell Rd. and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona. \nThe 2025 vernal equinox occurs on Thursday March 20\, 2025 at 2:01 am Mountain Standard Time (9:01 am Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate the equinox day (but not the exact time!) and explore ancient people’s recognition of equinoxes and other calendrical events\, archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) leads this tour to Los Morteros\, an ancient village site that includes a Hohokam ballcourt\, bedrock mortars\, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks\, where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker\, dancing human-like figures\, whimsical animals\, and other rock symbols made mostly Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph at the site exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual celestial equinox\, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight. \nRequested donation is $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members)\, which helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Registration and prepayment are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday March 17\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick \nFlyer: 20250320(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour

SUMMARY:“Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” Car-caravan Cultural Sites Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 8\, 2025\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina\, starting in the Santa Cruz River Park ramada at 1317 W. Irvington Road\, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just west of the Santa Cruz River). The tour will last from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm with a requested donation of $35 per person ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members)\, which supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nFelipe S. Molina was taught the Indigenous language\, culture\, and history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and grandmother\, his grandmother’s cousin\, and several elders from Tucson’s original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern Arizona to escape the Mexican government’s war on and deportations of the Yoeme in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest” by HDR Archaeologist Kevin P. Gilmore\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, January 16\, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThe timing and routes taken by the ancestors of the modern Ndee (Apache) and Diné (Navajo) on their journey south from northern Canada to their current territory in the south has been a matter of speculation since the linguistic relationship between the northern Dene (Athapaskan speakers) and Southwest Apachean speakers was identified more than 100 years ago. Within the last decade\, a three-piece Subarctic style BSM type 2(Bb) moccasin associated with proto-Apache Promontory phase migrants has been identified in museum collections from an increasing number of archaeological sites throughout the eastern Great Basin\, Southwest\, and Western Plains margin. Several recent publications documenting the direct dating\, archaeological context\, and materials analysis of these artifacts have provided more nuanced understanding of the story of the Dene arrival in the traditional territory of the Ndee and Diné. In this presentation\, Kevin Gilmore will discuss factors that may have influenced the initial move to the south by Apachean ancestors\, as well as when and how a relatively small group of people with a Subarctic adaptation became differentiated into the Ndee and Diné. Dr. Gilmore\, the Archaeology Program Manager at HDR in Englewood\, Colorado\, has published on the archaeology of eastern Colorado\, proto-Apache migration\, precontact population\, geoarchaeology\, gender in precontact Plains society\, landscape archaeology\, and the paleoenvironmental records found in “pocket fens” in eastern Colorado. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BVkljyx5SIm3W0YWvYz2Nw. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20250116(v2)ThirdThursday_KevinGilmore_IfTheShoeFits_Subarctic-styleMoccasins…InPrecontactSouthwest \nCaption: BSM Type 2(Bb) moccasin from Montezuma Castle\, Arizona\, photo adapted from “If the Shoe Fits” article by Kevin P.

SUMMARY:“Encore Chukui Kawi/Cerro Prieto ֍ Inscription Hill ֎ Pan Quemado: Yoeme Sacred Mountain\, Hohokam Trincheras\, and Petroglyphs” Car-caravan Cultural Sites Tour
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST   Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Encore Chukui Kawi/Cerro Prieto ֍ Inscription Hill ֎ Pan Quemado: Yoeme Sacred Mountain\, Hohokam Trincheras\, and Petroglyphs” car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina and archaeologist Allen Dart\, will be held on Saturday\, January 4\, 2025 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Guests will meet at McDonald’s restaurant\, 13934 N. Sandario Rd.\, Marana\, Arizona (near Interstate 10 Exit 236). There is a donation request of $55 per person\, $45 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members)\, which supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nOld Pueblo Archaeology Center’s December 7\, 2024 tour had such a long waiting list that Old Pueblo has scheduled this ENCORE TOUR! But this one too already is almost filled\, so if you are interested in registering please request your reservation very soon! \nCerro Prieto (Spanish for “Dark Hill”) is a volcanic peak soaring about 900 feet above the surrounding plain in the Ironwood Forest National Monument northwest of Tucson. It is a sacred place known to the Yoeme (Yaqui Indians) as Chukui Kawi (“Black Mountain”) and one of the largest and most complex US archaeological sites featuring trincheras – massive rock-work terraces built on steep hillsides.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Chichilticale in 1539: The Long-Sought Coronado Expedition Site in Arizona”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, December 19\, 2024\, please join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online program featuring the presentation “Chichilticale in 1539: The Long-Sought Coronado Expedition Site in Arizona” by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour\, PhD. This free Zoom online presentation is from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nChichilticale has been the most sought-after site of the Francisco Vázquez de Coronado Expedition in Arizona. One reason for this is because it was a named place that was expected to be in Arizona. It was also an important way station along the route\, a place stopped at more than once and for several days\, before moving through the final wilderness. Importantly\, and less known\, the expedition’s Senior Captain Melchior Diaz stayed there for two months in the winter of 1539-1540. Chichilticale now has been identified and represents a substantial campsite with hundreds of metal Coronado expedition artifacts including diagnostic nails\, crossbow bolt heads\, copper bells\, lace aglets\, and more. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nWEHLwkKQgmgIYD-YhnjKw. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20241219(v1)ThirdThursday_DeniSeymour_ChichilticaleIn1539 \nCaption: Aerial view of the “red house” remnants at Chichilticale\, and some metal projectile points and crossbow bolt heads found at the site; photos courtesy of Deni Seymour. \n

SUMMARY:“Unsung Heroes: Search and Rescue – First Responders – Southern Arizona\, 1901-2000” Online History Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 21\, 2024 join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring “Unsung Heroes: Search and Rescue – First Responders – Southern Arizona\, 1901-2000” history presentation by National Park Service Superintendent Emeritus Charles R. “Butch” Farabee\, Jr. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nNovember 15\, 1958: Tucson suffered the second greatest snowfall on record. Three young Boy Scouts tragically perished hiking nearby. Nearly 750 searchers – mostly volunteers – were involved for 19 days\, the largest search in Arizona history. Butch Farabee was one of them. How and why did rescue teams first organize in this country? What about regional fire departments and sheriffs’ departments’ first responders? Local ambulance services were first run by funeral homes. Paramedics came on the scene with what popular 1970s TV show? The Civil Air Patrol began a week before Pearl Harbor\, saving hundreds of thousands since. Military and hospital medivac services started in 1947. Life-saving results came of Titan missiles and the Border Patrol. When and where did “911” begin\, and Why Arizona’s “Stupid Motorists’ Law”? This program is based on Butch’s recently finished 599-page book\, which is FREE\, digital\, and online. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VSALZFjKQqmYSH3M0RQ3Tw.  For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20241121(v1)ThirdThursday_ButchFarabee_Search&Rescue \nCaption: 1958 headlines of Tucson’s Morning Newspaper \n

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “New Archaeological Insights from Ancient DNA”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, October 17\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “New Archaeological Insights from Ancient DNA” by archaeologist/geneticist Jakob W. Sedig\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn this talk\, Jakob Sedig will explore how ancient DNA (aDNA) data generated by the Proyecto de Investigación de Poblaciones Antiguas en el Norte y Occidente de México (PIPANOM) are providing new insight on the people who lived in central\, western\, and northern Mexico hundreds and thousands of years ago. Data from over 300 individuals spread across Mexico\, including from sites such as Tzintzuntzan\, Cueva de los Muertos Chicos\, and Paquimé\, have shed light onto long-standing questions about migration and interaction of different archaeological cultures in key eras of Mexico’s past. Jakob will also discuss how the PIPANOM dataset has revealed previously unknown information about the individuals who lived at these sites\, and how combining the PIPANOM dataset with previously published aDNA data from across the Americas allows researchers to understand better the movement and interaction of different groups across cultural boundaries. Finally\, he will review how PIPANOM has brought together archaeologists\, geneticists\, researchers\, analysts\, and students from different backgrounds and countries. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_C3NGISHpTHu6toJcKuVf4w.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Archaeology on the Rocks: Investigating an 18th-century Spanish Land Grant”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “Archaeology on the Rocks: Investigating an 18th-century Spanish Land Grant in Tijeras Canyon\, NM” by archaeologist Kelly L. Jenks\, Ph.D. This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn 1763\, New Mexico’s Spanish colonial Governor Cachupín approved an application by 19 petitioners for a grant of community land east of Albuquerque in Cañón de Carnué\, now known as Tijeras Canyon. The grantees were expected to defend these lands by building a fortified plaza. The governor also stipulated that these lands were to be used for agricultural purposes. Seven years later Apaches attacked this settlement and the survivors fled the canyon. When they refused to resettle\, they were ordered to go back and destroy their homes. The New Mexico State University Archaeological Field School resurveyed the site of this 18th-century plaza in 2021  and returned in 2022 to do test excavation\, stabilization work\, and more survey\, and to investigate artifacts from a 1946 field school at this site. These projects offer intriguing new insights into who these people were\, why they settled in this place\, how they made their living\, and what happened when they left. Dr. Kelly Jenks is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Director of the University Museum at NMSU\, Las Cruces. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-8T9UIlZTvGhAQZoDsF6KQ.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “An Embarrassment of Riches: Tree-Ring Dating and the (Mis-)Interpretation of Southwestern Archaeology”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 15\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “An Embarrassment of Riches: Tree-Ring Dating and the (Mis-)Interpretation of Southwestern Archaeology” by archaeologist Stephen E. Nash\, PhD. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00-8:00 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn December 1929\, National Geographic Magazine published new tree-ring dates for a small\, select group of archaeological sites in the American Southwest. For the first time ever\, archaeologists then knew how old those sites actually were\, but the annually resolved dates often proved difficult to interpret when compared to other archaeological data\, which cannot be as finely resolved with respect to dating and time.  Ever since then\, however\, southwestern archaeologists have been blessed with an incredibly rich\, and still growing\, database of calendar-year tree-ring dates to guide their analyses. Unfortunately\, our interpretations often play fast and loose with the underlying data\, and our interpretations may not be as reasonable as we might think. In this presentation\, Dr. Stephen E. Nash will examine the history of southwestern archaeological tree-ring dating to explore what might\, or might not\, be reasonable to infer from large sets of tree-ring dates. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gmON_cDdS2WmPfniPv2Gsg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “Envisioning a Cultural Landscape”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 18\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “Envisioning a Cultural Landscape” by cultural astronomy researcher Greg Munson. This free online presentation will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGreg Munson (Society for Cultural Astronomy in the American Southwest) will discuss new ways to record\, document\, and visualize the cultural landscape of the Greater American Southwest. The program emphasizes the SCAAS Cultural Landscapes Survey Program\, which has tribal consultation as a key component. At the center of the program is expanding the concept of the archaeological site boundary to include resources from the local environment\, relationships to nearby villages\, how the architecture relates to the more distant landscape\, and a building’s alignment to horizon features such as mountain peaks. SCAAS studies the connection of a site to astronomical cycles and features in the day and night sky\, and explores new technologies for the visualization of buildings and the landscape like the use of dynamic panoramas\, 3D modeling\, and infographics. Its goals include establishing a common method of documenting and visualizing links between ancestral peoples and the land and sky that surrounded them so that we can better understand that we live in a unified cultural landscape\, inseparable from its parts. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_F8OZjRaARXC5n_njJZ7yJg.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “The Gypsum Overlook Paleo-Archaic Archaeological Site in New Mexico’s White Sands”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 20\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program featuring the presentation “The Gypsum Overlook Paleo-Archaic Archaeological Site in New Mexico’s White Sands” by archaeologist Matthew Cuba\, MA. This free online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time – same as Pacific Daylight Time. \nGypsum Overlook is an archaeological site on southern New Mexico’s White Sands Missile Range\, situated in the Tularosa Basin on the eastern shore of the now dry Paleo Lake Otero. Archaeological excavations there identified three or possibly four habitation structures\, five hearths or roasting pits\, and flaked and ground stone artifacts dating to approximately 8\,800 years ago during the transition from the Paleoindian to Early Archaic period. The cultural features and assemblage at Gypsum Overlook provide one of the earliest records of Early Holocene housing structures and ground stone assemblages in New Mexico and the greater Southwest\, as people began to diversify their subsistence patterns to adapt to the drying and warming post-Pleistocene climate. The unique integrity of the site’s setting and buried archaeological material preserved its features in stunning detail\, allowing an uncommon and rare view of the Paleo-Archaic adaptation in the Southwest. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9b7Yc2L2RrenZu-tWlq4Wg.
