transition to true village life, and the later prehistoric archaeological
cultures (Puebloan, Mogollon, Sinagua, Hohokam, Salado, and Patayan). He
also discusses connections between archaeology and history, and provides
an overview of the Native American, European, Mexican, African, and Asian
peoples who have formed our state’s more recent history. Funding for

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: Digging Keet Seel: Julian Hayden's 1934 Diary” with Steve
Hayden at La Parrilla Suiza Mexican Restaurant, 2720 N. Oracle Road,
Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
In the winter of 1934 the Civil Works Administration (CWA) hired Irwin
Hayden, a Harvard-trained archaeologist, and his son, Julian Hayden, to
lead the excavation of the largest and best-preserved Anasazi cliff
village in Arizona. The four-month project, under the general direction
of John Wetherill, was never written up, and almost nothing is known
about the camp, the crew, or the work. Julian Hayden, 23 years old at the
time, kept a detailed diary that only surfaced seven years after his
death in 1998. It is a passionate account of stories told around the
camp fire, character sketches of the crew, visitors, and mules, and the
work, personalities, and dramas that shaped the outcome of “Project #6.”
This month’s Old Pueblo Archaeology Center presentation by Julian
Hayden’s son Steve is illustrated with original photos from the 1934
expedition, mostly from the Hayden family archives. Old Pueblo’s guest
speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Steve Hayden, Julian’s son.
Guests 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. The restaurant needs advance notice to
schedule staff and must limit seating to comply with the fire code, so
reservations are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday November 14. 520-798-1201 or

"Prehistoric Salt Procurement, Use, and Ritual in the American Southwest"
presentation by archaeologist Todd W. Bostwick, Ph.D., RPA, sponsored by
the AIA Central Arizona Society in Room 316 of Business Administration
Center C Wing, Arizona State University, Tempe*
6-7 p.m. Fred
Salt is necessary for human survival and has been a valuable trade item
throughout human history. For the Maya, salt was considered white gold.
In the American Southwest, salt procurement involved dangerous journeys
and was closely associated with ritual activities and sacred landscapes.
Salt was obtained from Gulf of California beaches, from the shores of
natural lakes, and from mining buried deposits. This presentation
discusses several examples of Native American salt procurement sites in
Arizona, New Mexico, and southern Nevada. The tools used for mining are
examined, and possible rituals associated with the salt deposits are
discussed.

“Southwestern Rock Calendars and Ancient Time Pieces” free presentation
by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's director, archaeologist Allen Dart,
for the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary meeting at Pueblo Grande Museum,
4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix. Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities
Council.
7:30-9 p.m. Free
Native Americans in the Southwest developed sophisticated skills in
astronomy and predicting the seasons, centuries before Old World peoples
first entered the region. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart
discusses historically known sky-watching practices of various
southwestern peoples, and how their ancestors’ observations of the
heavens may have been commemorated in ancient architecture and rock
symbols. The program illustrates cardinal, solstice, and equinox
alignments and possible calendrical reckoning features at such places as
Arizona’s Casa Grande Ruins and Picture Rocks petroglyphs sites, New
Mexico’s Chaco Canyon archaeological district, the Hovenweep area of
Utah, and the Mesa Verde and Chimney Rock regions of Colorado. Mr. Dart
also offers interpretation of how these discoveries may relate to ancient
Native American ritual. Funding for program provided by the Arizona
Humanities Council.
No reservations needed. For meeting details contact the Pueblo Grande

"Rock Art and Archaeology of Ventana Cave" Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
carpooling educational tour with archaeologist Allen Dart departing from
Pima Community College, 401 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson.
6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Fee $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and
Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; no charge for members or

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers this early-morning carpool tour onto
the Tohono O’odham Nation to visit the Ventana Cave National Historic
Landmark site. During the Arizona State Museum’s 1940s excavations in the
cave, led by archaeologists Emil W. Haury and Julian Hayden, evidence was
found for human occupation going back from historic times to around
10,000 years ago. The cave, which actually is a very large rockshelter,
also contains pictographs, petroglyphs, and other archaeological features
used by Native Americans for thousands of years. Tour leaves Tucson at
6:30 a.m. to ensure the pictographs can be seen in the best morning
light. Fees will benefit the Tohono O’odham Hickiwan District’s efforts
to develop a caretaker-interpretive center at Ventana Cave, and the
nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s education programs.

archaeologist Jesse Ballenger, Ph.D., at La Parrilla Suiza Mexican
Restaurant, 2720 N. Oracle Road, Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
This presentation summarizes the results of five years of intensive
survey and excavation by the University of Arizona’s Bureau of Applied
Research in Anthropology (BARA) and the Blackfeet Tribe in the Two
Medicine River Valley, Montana. In 2012 alone more than 6,500 individual
rock cairns were point-located to reveal a glimpse of what may be the
most complete bison drive-line systems yet documented in the northwestern
Plains. Our guest speaker will discuss the subtle monumentality and
complexity of these ephemeral hunting features in relation to intensified
bison harvesting during the Old Woman’s phase, ca. AD 1000-1700.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Dr. Jesse
Ballenger, a Senior Project Director at the Tucson consulting firm
Statistical Research, Inc., and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the
School of Anthropology, University of Arizona.

Apache Junction, Arizona. Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities Council.
2-3 p.m. Free
Archaeologist Allen Dart, Executive Director of Tucson, Arizona’s

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “Tree-rings, Documents, and Oral History along Cebolla
Creek, New Mexico” with archaeologist Ronald H. Towner, Ph.D. at Mimi's
Café, 120 S. Wilmot Rd. (at Broadway Blvd.), Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
The Cebolla Creek area of west-central New Mexico is an isolated area of
lava flows, pinyon-juniper forests, and flat valley bottoms that is part
of the El Malpais National Conservation Area. Completely depopulated
today, in the early 20th century the area was home to Navajo, Hispanic,
and Anglo populations who hunted, gathered, and farmed the canyon’s
resources. Research over the past five years has illuminated aspects of
interaction and land use by these groups during a critical time in
southwestern history. In this month’s Third Thursday presentation our
speaker will discuss heretofore unknown, early 20th century Navajo sites
and the Sue Savage Homestead (LA 74544), a complex of more than 25
archaeological structures and features occupied by a widow and her
children during the Great Depression. The presentation will show how
tree-ring data, historical documents, and oral histories illuminate the
hardscrabble life of Depression-era occupants of the Southwest, place the
occupations in their proper environmental and social contexts, and
suggest how archaeologists can use the Cebolla Creek project’s
information and interpretations for estimating length of occupations and
for comparing different data types.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program, Ron Towner,
is an Associate Professor at the University of Arizona and an expert in
dendroarchaeology and Early Navajo period archaeology.
Guests 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. The restaurant needs advance notice to

“Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Rim
Country Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at Church of the Holy
Nativity, 1414 Easy Street in Payson, Arizona
10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Free
The deep time perspective that archaeology provides on natural hazards,
environmental change, and human adaptation not only is a valuable
supplement to historical records, it sometimes contradicts historical
data that modern societies use to make decisions affecting social
sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from archaeological
evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in Arizona and
the Southwest eventually reach a threshold of unsustainability, which
probably was a factor in the ultimate 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 prehistoric
archaeological evidence of tsunamis? This presentation looks at some of
the archaeological 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. Funding for program
provided by the Arizona Humanities Council.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “¿Que Pasa Paquimé? Recent Archaeological Research in the
Casas Grandes Region” with archaeologist Paul Minnis, Ph.D., at Dragon's
View Asian Cuisine Restaurant, 400 N. Bonita Avenue (just west of the
Santa Cruz River between St. Mary's Rd. & Congress St.), Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
Paquimé or Casas Grandes is one of the premier archaeological sites in
the U.S. Southwest/northwestern Mexico. Yet, research has lagged since
the monumental Joint Casas Grandes Project during the middle of the
twentieth century. Fortunately, there has been a renaissance in research
during the past two decades. Our February guest speaker will discuss the
results of archaeological survey and excavation that he and Michael
Whalen have directed in the Casa Grandes region since 1989. He will
discuss the size and character of Paquimé, its regional organization, and
its relationships with other ancient communities in the U.S. Southwest
and northwestern Mexico.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Paul
Minnis, a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma whose
archaeological research has focused on the New Mexico Mimbres and
northwestern Chihuahua-Casas Grandes regions.
Guests 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. The restaurant needs advance notice to
schedule staff and must limit seating to comply with the fire code, so
reservations are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday February 20. 520-798-1201 or

Tularosa, NM, and 28 miles south of Carrizozo, NM on US 54; and ending at
a site northwest of Lordsburg, NM.
1 p.m. MST Friday to 4 p.m. MDT Wednesday (Daylight Saving Time goes into
effect Sunday morning at 2 a.m.) Fee $395 for the full six days of

El Paso-area rock-art site guides Glenn Omundson and Bob White team up
with archaeologists Marc Thompson, Ph.D. (Director Emeritus, El Paso
Museum of Archaeology) and Allen Dart, RPA (tour coordinator; Executive
Director, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, Tucson) to lead this six-day
tour to twelve of the most spectacular prehistoric and historical
petroglyph and pictograph sites in southern New Mexico and West Texas.
ALL sites to be visited have multiple hundreds of rock art elements.
Tentative schedule is as follows:
• Friday March 1, Marc will guide us to the famous Three Rivers site near
Tularosa, NM, where more than 25,000 petroglyphs have been recorded.
• Saturday March 2, Centipede Cave petroglyphs and pictographs, Little
Cunningham Tank petroglyphs (and maybe the site’s four pictographs), and
the Mullen site petroglyphs with Glenn.
• Sunday March 3, 6-hour tour to Hueco Tanks State Park (90+% pictographs,
less than 10% petroglyphs) with Bob.
• Monday March 4, Alamo Mountain petroglyphs with Glenn.
• Tuesday March 5, Jaguar Cave petroglyphs and pictographs, Story Teller
Panel petroglyphs, and a great Archaic period petroglyphs site with Glenn.
• Wednesday March 6 (last day), Glenn leads us to the Archaic and Jornada
culture petroglyphs and trincheras features on Canador Peak, and to the
petroglyphs and pictographs in Cottonwood Canyon and the Lower Gila Box
petroglyphs northwest of Lordsburg, NM.
The tour will be based in El Paso Friday (Day 1) through Tuesday (Day 5)
nights and will depart from a hotel there each morning on Days 2-6. On
the evening of Day 6 you can return home or stay in Lordsburg overnight.
Hotels, camping, and other accommodations (to be arranged individually by
the tour registrants) are available in and near El Paso and Lordsburg.
Although some sites on Days 1 and 3-5 are accessible in regular cars,
high-clearance vehicles (HCVs) and 4-wheel-drive are highly recommended.
HCVs are essential (4WD highly recommended) for Days 2 and 6, so anyone
without HCVs can tour on those days only if the registrants who do have
the HCVs can take extra riders.
Most of the rock art is accessible via foot trails, but there will be
some bush-whacking and boulder-hopping. Bring your own picnic lunch and
water each day, and wear comfortable hiking shoes.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “The Zuni Region across the Lost Century: AD 1450-1540”
with archaeologist Matt Peeples, Ph.D., at ****[ restaurant to be
announced]**** , Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
The period between A.D. 1450 and the arrival of Coronado in 1540 has
often been depicted as a “lost century” in the Southwest. During this
period, most of the region saw a substantial decline in population, large
scale population movements, and rapid changes in the organization of the
communities that remained. The Zuni region of west-central New Mexico is
one of only a few places in the northern Southwest where large
agricultural villages that were first constructed during the late
prehistoric period continued to be occupied through the “lost century”
and into the historic period. The construction of the latest prehistoric
Zuni towns in the late 14th and early 15th centuries was accompanied by
major changes in architecture, cooking technology, ceramic design, and
burial practices. These changes suggest the Zuni region was a destination
for migrants from some of the areas to the south that were emptying out
at this time. In this month’s presentation our guest speaker will
summarize several lines of archaeological and biological evidence to
explore the origins, timing, and consequences of immigration into the
Zuni region, and the establishment of the communities encountered by the
Spanish explorers de Niza and Coronado at contact.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Matt
Peeples, an archaeologist specializing in the Zuni-Cibola and Mimbres
regions of the U.S. Southwest.
Guests 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. The restaurant needs advance notice to
schedule staff and must limit seating to comply with the fire code, so
