"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
employees of the Tohono O’odham Nation)
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.

“Baseball's Earliest Days in Arizona” presentation by Mike Anderson,
sponsored by the Old Fort Lowell Neighborhood Association at the historic
San Pedro Chapel, 5230 E. Fort Lowell Road, Tucson*
3-4 p.m.. Free
While the Earps and cowboys stalked each other on the streets of
Tombstone in 1881, others in the silver camp were busy forming baseball
teams. America's pastime accompanied the westward expansion and was an
integral part of life on the frontier, in a form very much recognizable
to us today. Bisbee baseball historian Mike Anderson will tell the story
of baseball's earliest days in the Arizona Territory, tracing its
evolution as a game and as a part of community life, using photos taken
during the 19th century and early 20th centuries of players and teams in
southern Arizona.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations are needed. For details contact [log in to unmask] or visit

Tuesdays February 5, 12, 19, and 26, 2013
“Archaeology, Cultures, and Ancient Arts of Southern Arizona" adult
education class with archaeologist Allen Dart, RPA, at Recreation Centers
of Sun City West, 19803 R. H. Johnson Blvd., Sun City West, Arizona
6:30-8:30 p.m. each Tuesday. $40 for all four sessions
In this four-session class on Tuesday evenings, Mr. Allen Dart, a
Registered Professional Archaeologist and volunteer director of the Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center in Tucson, will provide information about the
archaeology and cultures of Arizona and the Southwest, focusing on the
arts and material culture of southern Arizona’s prehistoric peoples.
The first session, "Archaeology and Cultures of Arizona," will summarize
and interpret the archaeology of Arizona from the earliest “Paleoindians”
through Archaic period hunters and foragers, the transition to true
village life, and the later prehistoric archaeological cultures
(Puebloan, Mogollon, Sinagua, Hohokam, Salado, and Patayan). Mr. Dart
also will relate the archaeological cultures to the Native American,
European, Mexican, African, and Asian peoples who have been part of our
state’s more recent history.
In Session 2, "Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam
Indians," artifacts, architecture, and other material culture of southern
Arizona’s ancient Hohokam culture are illustrated and discussed. The arts
and culture that the Hohokam left behind provide archaeologists with
clues for interpreting their relationships to the natural world, time
reckoning, religious practices, beliefs, and deities, and possible
reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life.
Session 3, "Ancient Native American Pottery of Southern Arizona," focuses
on some of the Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific
eras in southern Arizona prehistory and history, and discusses how
archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and
interpreting ancient lifeways of the ancient Early Ceramic and Hohokam
cultures, and of the historical Piman (Tohono O’odham and Akimel
O’odham), Yuman (including Mohave and Maricopa), and Apachean peoples.
Finally, in Session 4, "Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern
Indian Rock Art," Mr. Dart illustrates pictographs (rock paintings) and
petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) found in the Southwest,
and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted
differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native American
perspectives.

“Rock Art Conservation Efforts in the Gila River Indian Community”
presentation by Chris Loendorf and Barnaby V. Lewis, sponsored by the
nonprofit Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum
and Archaeological Park, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
7:30 to 9 p.m. Free; PGMA and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members get
free admission to the Museum for PGMA events
The Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Cultural Research Management
Program (CRMP) is actively involved in the protection and management of
the many rock art sites within the community. This presentation
summarizes the results of a recent study of livestock brand petroglyphs
and pictographs in the GRIC that were done in a similar style to
prehistoric Hohokam images in the area. This study documented evidence
for previously unrecognized animal husbandry practices, as well as long
term continuity in cultural traditions from the prehistoric to the
historic periods. An Energy Dispersive X-Ray Florescence (EDXRF) study of
pictographs from Picture Cave in Fort Bliss, Texas is also described.
This analysis documented variation in pigments that may be associated
with different episodes of painting at the site. Chris Loendorf is a
Project Manager for the GRIC CRMP. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. at
Arizona State University, and his B.A. at the University of Montana. He
has worked on all stages of cultural resource management projects in a
wide variety of locations from the Southwest to the Northern Plains. He
has studied Hohokam archaeology since coming to Arizona in 1989, and
began his career as a professional archaeologist in 1981. Barnaby V.
Lewis has been the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) for the
Gila River Indian Community since February 2009. He was previously the
Cultural Resource Specialist for 10 years with the GRIC CRMP. THPO
consults with federal and state agencies concerning matters of religious
and cultural significance regarding historic properties. Mr. Lewis
supervises all aspects of cultural resource consultation in connection
with federal, state, and tribal laws including the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act.

data. The interdisciplinary Southwest Social Networks project was
designed to collect data from a large area of the U.S. Southwest and
apply social network analysis to archaeological case studies. Several
key questions of the project will be addressed: (1) What are the effects
of 13th through 15th century settlement reorganization on network
structure or topology? (2) How does changing the scale of analysis change
the kinds of social network questions that we can address? And, (3) what
are the network characteristics of persistent or successful settlements?

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 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

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 Cody's Beef ‘N Beans
Steakhouse, 2708 E. Fort Lowell Rd., 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

“Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians - The
Hohokam Southern Frontier Revisited” free presentation by archaeologist
Allen Dart at Tucson Jewish Community Center, 3800 E. River Rd., Tucson..
Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities Council.*
10 a.m.-noon Free
Between AD 650 and 1450 a prehistoric agricultural people that
archaeologists call the Hohokam were living in southern Arizona,
constructing earth-covered wood-and-brush houses built in shallow pits,
and producing distinctive pottery and other crafts from stone, bone, and
seashells. It has been suggested that the Hohokam culture extended
southward up the Santa Cruz River valley well beyond the modern community
of Green Valley. Recent research at the Continental archaeological site
and other sites in and near Green Valley suggests, however, that after
A.D. 950 the area from Sahuarita southward was the territory of another
ancient culture contemporary with, but different from the Hohokam. In
this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart will illustrate and discuss a
recent archaeological data recovery project funded by the Pima County
Department of Transportation, and other archaeological studies that have
led to re-evaluation of this question of prehistoric cultural identity.

Arizona. Cosponsored by Arizona Humanities Council.*
12 noon-1:30 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
