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. The archaeological features were constructed and used by the Hohokam culture during the Tanque Verde phase (1150-1300 CE) and include house foundations\, waffle gardens\, check dams\, trail systems\, petroglyphs\, rock walls\, talus pits\, and a stone source used to produce agave knives\, suggesting its use for a variety of residential functions\, ceremonies\, and agriculture. Inscription Hill contains one of the densest petroglyph groupings in southern Arizona\, encompassing at least 1\,225 individual glyphs plus bedrock metates\, trincheras\, trail segments\, and talus pits. During this trip Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe Molina will discuss the significance of Chukui Kawi to the Yoeme and archaeologist Al Dart will lead us to some of the Cerro Prieto trincheras and the nearby Inscription Hill petroglyphs. Participants provide their own transportation and picnic lunches. \nRegistration and prepayment are due by 5:00 pm on Wednesday\, December 4.

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.

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 by Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph at Picture Rocks 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. \nThere is a requested donation of $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Thursday September 19\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20240922(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksAutumnEquinoxTourFlyer \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick

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.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Zoom Presentation: “Interaction on the Northern Mogollon Frontier: Perspectives from the Cañada Alamosa”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 18\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature  “Interaction on the Northern Mogollon Frontier: Perspectives from the Cañada Alamosa” by archaeologist Karl W. Laumbach. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe Cañada Alamosa is a spring-fed canyon located on the northeastern edge of the Mimbres Mogollon world. The Ojo Caliente or Warm Spring supplies 2\,000 gallons per minute\, ensuring a perennial flow to the Rio Alamosa as it flows to the Rio Grande. Separated by 50 miles and the imposing Black Range from the Mimbres Mogollon cultural center\, the canyon’s well-watered position on a “zone of interaction” between the Mogollon and Ancestral Puebloans resulted in a unique cultural sequence from the pithouse period up to the abandonment of the canyon in the 14th century reflecting a variety of local interactions as well as changes in their respective centers. Karl Laumbach’s archaeological career in southern New Mexico since 1974 included direction of the Human Systems Research nonprofit organization’s Cañada Alamosa project. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_J1BZ0X4DRN-qDvxO4h60Tg.

SUMMARY:“Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, and Camp Naco: Pictographs\, Archaeology\, and History” Tour
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nOn Saturday\, April 6\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, and Camp Naco: Pictographs\, Archaeology\, and History” tour with archaeologist Stanislava Romih and historic architect R. Brooks Jeffery. This tour will be held from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and will begin at the Van Deman Gate Visitor Control Center\, Hatfield St.\, Fort Huachuca\, Arizona. \nLocated on the historic Fort Huachuca Army Post\, the Garden Canyon site is a precontact American Indian settlement near where the Mogollon\, Hohokam\, and Trincheras archaeological cultures came together. Limited excavations at this site revealed remnants of pithouses and above-ground dwellings\, funerary features\, and pottery and other artifacts. Farther up Garden Canyon\, a few hundred feet above its floor\, are rockshelters that contain pictographs that may have been painted in the 1700s by Apaches. In part 1 of this tour archaeologist Allen Dart\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Executive Director\, will guide our visit to these sites and the Fort Huachuca Museum\, which focuses on the region’s military history. After visiting Fort Huachuca\, the tour group will take a lunch break then caravan from Sierra Vista to Naco\, Arizona to visit historic Camp Naco. This early twentieth-century Buffalo Soldiers installation is now the target of a City of Bisbee rehabilitation effort to explore a wide range of future uses that commemorate history\, expand cultural opportunities\, and serve as a resource for the communities of Naco and southern Cochise County. Tour participants need to bring picnic lunch and water\, wear sturdy hiking shoes\, and be able to hike along a short\, narrow mountain trail. \nRequested donation is $55 per person ($45 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday\, April 1st\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nCaption: Some Apache pictographs in Garden Canyon\, Fort Huachuca\, Arizona\, photo by Ron Stewart \nFlyer: 20240406(v5)GardenCanyonFortHuachucaCampNacoTourFlyer

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought - “In Search of a Borderland: Archaeological Patterns of Northwest Mexico and Neighbors”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 21\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought program presents “In Search of a Borderland: Archaeological Patterns of Northwest Mexico and Neighbors” by archaeologist Matthew C. Pailes\, PhD. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIn this presentation Matthew Pailes will review recent archaeological research in Northwest Mexico\, a region frequently invoked as a tierra incognita in grand schemas of continental history. Was it the origin point for major social movements? A source or destination of populations known from the US Southwest? Or even more basically\, is there continuity in traditions from the US Southwest to Mesoamerica? Thanks to decades of work by Mexican and international archaeologists we can now begin to place Northwest Mexico in its rightful place in continental scale narratives. This review will span the traditions of Northwest Mexico\, focusing most on the Sierra Madre Occidental. New data suggest this region presents a unique story of persistent occupation for millennia\, avoiding the boom and bust political cycles of many neighbors and resisting incorporation into the religious and political tumult that characterized much of the 1200 to 1400s in the US Southwest. Dr. Pailes\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, University of Oklahoma\, has done extensive archaeological research in Sonora\, Chihuahua\, and Arizona. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hLrnZPIESWmns2V-0qk67g.

SUMMARY:“Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites”
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart will be held on Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024\, from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. The tour group will meet at and depart from Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana\, Arizona. \nThe 2024 vernal equinox occurs on Tuesday\, March 19\, 2024 at 8:06 pm Mountain Standard Time (Mar. 20\, 3:06 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.\nThe request donation is $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.  Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Sunday\, March 17\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20240319(v2)LosMorteros&PictureRocksSpringEquinoxTour \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick

SUMMARY:Vista del Rio Archaeological Site ENCORE Free Tour
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center is providing a free ENCORE tour of the Vista del Rio Archaeological Site on Saturday March 2\, 2024 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The earlier Vista del Rio Archaeological Site Free Tour from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m.\, celebrating Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month\, filled so quickly after it was announced that archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) is offering this second\, same-day opportunity to tour the site from 1-3 pm. Vista del Rio was an ancient village of the southern Arizona Hohokam archaeological culture\, inhabited between 1000 and 1150 CE.
