At the Tucson Mayor and City Council meeting on Tuesday March 5th, Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild proclaimed March 2019 as Old Pueblo Archaeology Month, acknowledging Tucson’s many archaeological and historic cultural resources that manifest the City’s heritage as the oldest continuously occupied community in the United States, and recognizing that in its 25 years of existence the nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center has provided heritage education to Tucson’s schools, residents, and visitors. In his proclamation Mayor Rothschild encouraged Tucson’s residents and visitors to learn about, visit, appreciate, and promote Tucson’s cultural resources and the City’s role as a leader in Arizona archaeological research and education.
