SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - “’Of Noble Kings Descended’:  Colonial Documents and the Ancient Southwest”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday May 16\, 2024\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “’Of Noble Kings Descended’:  Colonial Documents and the Ancient Southwest” by archaeologist Stephen H. Lekson\, PhD. The free Zoom online program will be held from 7:00-8:30 p.m.\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nEarly Spanish and Mexican records may have much to tell us about the ancient Southwest.  Those records\, of course\, recount events and conditions of their times\, but many also contain startling information apparently relevant to older places like Chaco Canyon and Casas Grandes.  From Villagrá to von Humboldt\, Dr. Lekson will review a number of “possible/potential/probable” insights for deeper history found in early colonial documents\, and will contextualize these in light of Native accounts and archaeological data. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__Np83er-RGaBcugjFIAuwA. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20240516(v1)ThirdThursday_SteveLekson_’OfNobleKingsDescended’ \nCaption: Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá\, capitan and  procurador general in the Juan de Oñate expedition that first colonized Santa Fe

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:“Badger Springs Pueblo and Petroglyphs Archaeology and Geology Tour”
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST   On Saturday\, February 10\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Badger Springs Pueblo and Petroglyphs Archaeology and Geology Tour” with JJ Golio and Allen Dart in Agua Fria National Monument. This tour will start at 8:30 am at Badger Springs Trailhead parking area ca. 1 mile east of Interstate-17 Exit 256 (Badger Springs)\, and end at 3:30 pm. \nAgua Fria National Monument\, located approximately 40 miles north of central Phoenix\, was established in 2000 by President Bill Clinton to protect its extensive and important cultural and natural resources. Encompassing two mesas\, the canyon of the Agua Fria River\, and the river’s tributaries including Badger Spring Wash\, the monument protects numerous archaeological sites as well as outstanding geological and biological resources. This Old Pueblo tour will visit Badger Springs Pueblo\, a 70-plus room precontact settlement perched atop a high bluff\, plus ancient boulder metates and bedrock outcrops with elaborate figurative petroglyphs. It also will stop at a historical arrastre – an ore-grinding mill in which heavy stones attached to horizontal poles radiating from a central pillar were turned by a draft animal or powered by water to drag the stones on the mill’s floor of stone to pulverize ore. Guides also will point out and interpret geologic processes in which Badger Spring Wash cut through the basalt and granodiorite to create colorful red\,  pink\, yellow\, green\, brown\, white\, dark gray\, and black formations\, some including xenoliths. \nThe request 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.

SUMMARY:“Archaeological Sites of the Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Community” Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST   Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeological Sites of the Marana Hohokam Platform Mound Community tour\,” guided by archaeologists Paul and Suzanne Fish\, will be held on Saturday\, January 27\, 2024\, from 8:30 am to 12:00 noon. The tour group will meet at and depart from 13961 N. Sandario Rd.\, in Marana\, Arizona. \nUniversity of Arizona archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne K. Fish lead this tour to selected archaeological sites in one of southern Arizona’s largest ancient Hohokam communities. Our visit will include the Marana Platform Mound site (which was surrounded by 40+ residential compounds)\, a sampling of Hohokam agricultural field locations including specialized ones for agave cultivation\, and a secondary compound center on the Tortolita Mountains bajada. The Marana Mound site is one of the very few Hohokam Early Classic period (1150-1300 CE) villages that has wholly escaped the destruction resulting from modern agriculture and urbanization and where adobe-wall remnants can be clearly identified on the surface. We also will visit the location where a segment of the nearly seven-mile-long Marana Mound site canal was identified from surface and excavated remains before that area was included in a modern housing development. These site visits will provide a basis for understanding the social and economic processes during the Early Classic period\, when processes of Hohokam centralization and population aggregation greatly accelerated. \nThis tour is limited to 20 people including guides.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation: “The Perils of Dyhydrogen Monoxide – Challenging Hembrillo Canyon 1880 Myths of the Apache Wars”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, January 18\, 2024\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s  “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation with historian Robert N. Watt\, PhD\, who will discuss “The Perils of Dyhydrogen Monoxide – Challenging Hembrillo Canyon 1880 Myths of the Apache Wars.” This free Zoom online presentation will be held from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThis month’s Third Thursday presenter Dr. Robert N. Watt\, University of Birmingham\, UK\, completed his trilogy on the Victorio Campaign of 1877-1881 in 2019 after almost 20 years of research. His presentation will challenge several myths concerning the two engagements between the US Army Ninth Cavalry and Apaches led by Victorio in southern New Mexico’s Hembrillo Canyon and Basin between April 5 and 7\, 1880. Historic records tell of the drinking of tainted water and overnight siege of Captain Henry Carroll’s two Ninth Cavalry companies in Hembrillo Basin on April 6-7\, 1880\, and include Lt. John Conline’s detailed report of a skirmish between Company A\, Ninth Cavalry\, and Victorio’s warriors on April 5 of that year. Archaeologist Karl Laumbach’s archaeological and archive research has shown that these accounts are inaccurate. Historian Robert Watt’s archive research supports Laumbach’s conclusions and challenges additional myths that the US Army knew the location of Victorio’s camp and that the operation to trap Victorio was undermined by Captain Carroll attacking too early. \nFollowing up on Laumbach’s work\, Bob Watt has found that the US Army’s letters and telegrams sent and received prior to this operation also tell a very different story than that which was entered into the official record after the event. He has published articles on this conflict in Small Wars and Insurgencies (2002)\, The New Mexico Historical Review (2011 and 2022)\, War in History (two articles in 2011)\, The Southwestern Historical Quarterly (2015)\, and in an article in The Journal of Military History (2016) that was awarded the Moncado Prize. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6SsyU2ahQjiGYtBUfQG18g.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation - "“Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:Join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation on “Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine” by anthropologist Sharonah Fredrick\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, December 21\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nArchaeological finds\, colonial Spanish chronicles\, and most importantly\, the living memories of tribal elders in Central America\, South America\, and the American Southwest demonstrate not only extraordinary botanical medical knowledge\, but understandings of surgery and osteopathy that contradict stereotypes of Native peoples as always and only practicing “spiritual” medicine. It is spiritual\, mental\, and deeply physical\, and has been so for millennia. Through understanding the causal links between spiritual\, physical\, mental\, and environmental factors\, Native medicine systems\, when allied with Western holistic and conventional medicine\, have been able to produce superb results for health and well-being. How can we learn from these systems\, how can we respect Native science without appropriating it\, and what are the connections between the stories of the Cosmic Twins in Native cultures and their healing abilities for human mental health? The Hopi\, Mayan\, and Andean Yauyo cultures are all characterized by village autonomy and diversity of thought and theory regarding their own beliefs\, a trait that has previously only been associated with so-called Western societies. The importance of the Twin metaphor and its connections with healing focus on the need to find continual balance between shifting polar opposites that are life itself. In this view\, health is based on balance\, not elimination of the bad. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y2LAfUJbRxCmfvZqWegrmg.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Interests Program to Feature “Wa’alupe: Yaqui Village in Phoenix Urban Sprawl”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” program will feature “Wa’alupe: Yaqui Village in Phoenix Urban Sprawl” presentation by Octaviana V. Trujillo (Yaqui)\, PhD. This free Zoom online will be held on Tuesday\, November 14\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nYaqui Indian families came from Sonora\, Mexico\, to Arizona’s Salt River Valley in the 1880s to labor in the agricultural fields\, railroads\, and mines. They formed their villages on the outskirts of cities. This is how Guadalupe came to be. We have been known to be hard workers\, strong minded and of good heart. The Tempe community knew how important we were to the growth and sustainability of their city. Many today remember how Guadalupe was so far away from any city\, we had so many open spaces to play and have our fiestas for baptisms\, weddings\, birthdays\, and ceremonies. There was no Interstate 10 or the largest shopping mall of Arizona.  Just cotton fields\, orchards\, Japanese flower gardens\, a small crop duster airfield and our monte near us. Many good memories of play\, smells\, and place. This presentation will take you to the beginning of our village\, now our cemetery. Guadalupe is still here\, it has persisted and flourished during the most challenging times; the people will make sure it endures. \nOctaviana Trujillo is founding Chair and Professor Emerita in the Department of Applied Indigenous Studies at Northern Arizona University and former Chairwoman of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Indigenous Interests” free Zoom webinar series provides Native American presenters with a forum for discussing issues important to Indigenous peoples today. The series is hosted by Old Pueblo board of directors members Martina Dawley (Hualapai-Diné)\, Anabel Galindo (Yaqui)\, and Maegan Lopez and Samuel Fayuant (Tohono O’odham). \nTo register for the program go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_b75fQ5VDRbmN31tcK_LEZQ. For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20231114(v1)IndigenousInterests_OctavianaTrujillo_Wa’alupe_YaquiVillageInPhoenixUrbanSprawl (1) \nCaption: 1909 – Old Guadalupe Yaqui Matachini Dancers\, photo courtesy of Octaviana V.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Food for Thought Program Presents “Scientific Evidence for Tonto Basin Salado Polychrome Pottery Production and Exchange”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought program will feature “Scientific Evidence for Tonto Basin Salado Polychrome Pottery Production and Exchange” by Mary F. Ownby\, PhD. This free Zoom online presentation\, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, will be held on Thursday\, October 19\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe importance of Salado Polychrome pottery for understanding fourteenth-century population dynamics in the Southwest cannot be underestimated. This ware was clearly significant in the assimilation and adaptation of migrant groups into local populations in southern Arizona and New Mexico. Arizona’s Tonto Basin was an important area of Salado Polychrome production and exchange. Chemical (neutron activation analysis) and petrographic analyses of both decorated and utility ware vessels from six Tonto Basin sites illustrate the complexity of Salado Polychrome production and consumption. The results show there were multiple pottery production locations (though one is clearly dominant) and significant exchange among sites in the basin. The use of raw materials atypical of Hohokam ceramic traditions may indicate some Salado Polychrome was made by migrant potters. This study is an example of how Salado Polychrome pottery research continues to clarify how migrant groups settled into their new homes and utilized pottery as a form of cultural connection amongst themselves and their local friends. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_i3aLfJ0wTr2i-89axO3QCQ.  For more information contact Old Pueblo at info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201. \nFlyer: 20231019(v1)ThirdThursday_MaryOwnby_ TontoBasinSaladoPolychrome \nCaption: Thin section petrographic image in cross-polarized light\, and Cliff Polychrome (a Salado type) bowl\, photos courtesy of Mary Ownby

SUMMARY:“Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui Indian) Communities” Tour
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 7\, 2023\, 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. This tour will begin at 8:00 a.m. 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)\, and will end around 1:00 p.m. \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. By 1940 there were about 3\,000 Yoeme in Arizona\, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson\, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in Marana\, and others near Eloy\, Somerton\, Phoenix\, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina will lead this tour to places settled historically by Yoeme in the Tucson and Marana areas including Bwe’u Hu’upa (Big Mesquite) Village\, the San Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community (Barrio Libre)\, Pascua\, Ili Hu’upa\, Wiilo Kampo\, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its San Juan Church and plaza. \nThere is a requested $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of S’edav Va’aki Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.

SUMMARY:“Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Autumn Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart will depart on Saturday\, September 23\, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. from near Silverbell Rd. and Linda Vista Blvd.\, Marana. This tour will end 12:00 p.m. noon. \nThe 2023 autumn equinox occurs on September 23 at 12:50 am Arizona/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time; Sept. 23\, 6:50 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 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 $35 requested donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of S’edav Va’aki Museum 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 Thursday September 21\, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or info@oldpueblo.org. \nFlyer: 20230923(v1)LosMorteros&PictureRocksAutumnEquinoxTourFlyer \nCaption: Equinox “sun dagger” on spiral petroglyph at Picture Rocks site\, Pima County\, Arizona\, photo by Tom Herrick

SUMMARY:“The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites” Presentation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 21\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program will feature “The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites” by applied anthropologist and archaeologist Brian W. Kenny. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGeorge McJunkin\, who is widely known today as the original discoverer of a fossil bone deposit exposed after a devastating 1908 flood in Wild Horse Arroyo near Folsom\, New Mexico\, died in Folsom in January 1922. The “Folsom site” he discovered turned out to be where archaeologists in 1927 first confirmed the antiquity of humans in the Americas based on direct association of in-situ stone tools and Pleistocene bison bones. The Folsom site has been examined in popular and academic works\, but among professional archaeologists there are generalized and continuing disputes regarding the type and extent of credit and recognition McJunkin should receive for our early historical understanding of the Folsom site. McJunkin was born a slave in Texas\, was emancipated\, and left home as a young man to become a cowboy in west Texas. He learned his trade from Mexican vaqueros and was known for superior cowboy skills and some wild adventures as he worked in the big cattle outfits that moved stock up from Texas\, New Mexico\, and Colorado to the transcontinental Overland Route. After the Colorado and Southern Railroad was completed in 1888 he settled near Folsom\, patented a homestead\, built a house in town\, and worked for local ranchers. He was well respected by the local community and became a ranch foreman and leader of Black and Mexican cowboys working for New Mexican ranchers.  During his time there\, McJunkin built a number of ranch facilities\, many of which are now obsolete\, abandoned\, or reused in alternate ways. These sites\, their contents\, and the nature of their construction\, use\, and abandonment hold the key to investigating McJunkin from alternate perspectives. From 2021-2023\, a century after McJunkin’s passing\, Brian Kenny and colleagues initiated archival\, ethnographic\, and archaeological research in the Folsom community. In Old Pueblo’s September Third Thursday presentation\, Kenny will tell how the members of “Team McJunkin” have visited and documented known McJunkin sites using basic methodologies of community ethnography\, archival research\, landscape scale characterization\, and archaeological survey\, and how team members are currently reviewing their field results and preparing for journal publication. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0SwzVEeWTdGHvp1Qyh_Wsg.
