Saturday February 9, 2019: Benson, AZ

12-1:30 p.m. Free
Ancient Indian pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) are claimed by some to be forms of writing for which meanings are known. But are such claims supported by archaeology or by Native Americans themselves? Mr. Dart illustrates southwestern petroglyphs and pictographs, and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native American perspectives. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“An American Art Form: A Century of Zuni and Navajo Jewelry” gallery talk with Carlton Jamon (A:shiwi) and exhibit opening at the Amerind Museum, 2100 N. Amerind Rd. Dragoon, Arizona*
1-2 p.m. presentation; 2-4 p.m. exhibit opening and community reception; free with museum admission
Amerind is the proud home of one of the largest and best documented A:shiwi (Zuni) and Diné (Navajo) jewelry collections in the world. A recent donation made by one remarkable family includes thousands upon thousands of jewelry pieces made by artisans and masters from the late 19th through 20th century. This exhibit debuts a small fraction of this amazing collection. Collected over three generations, the donor family had a personal relationship with many of these artisans. The jewelers represented in this collection pioneered a uniquely American art form that thrust Indigenous design and vision onto a global stage. Our honored guest speaker is Mr. Carlton Jamon, a master jeweler and innovative metalsmith from the Pueblo of Zuni. At the age of 14, Jamon learned to work with silver from his grandmother Winnie Jamon, whose work is represented in the new Amerind jewelry collection. Having won numerous awards and honors today, Jamon creates and sells his work out of his studio in Zuni, New Mexico. Refreshments will be served..

“The Archaeology of Coastal Shell Middens along the Northern Gulf of California” free presentation by Dr. Jonathan Mabry for Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) meeting at Banner University Medical Center DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson*
7:30-9 p.m. Free
A group of U.S. and Mexican scientists specializing in archaeology, geology, botany, and paleoecology has been exploring prehistoric shell middens along the northern Gulf of California coast near the modern community of Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico. We have documented over 60 midden sites through reconnaissance survey near Puerto Peñasco since 1997. More recently, we have conducted controlled excavations and identified a variety of mollusk species, small fish bones, fish otoliths, crab claws, terrestrial animal bones, sea turtle bones, and artifacts. This project represents the first extensive and sustained archaeological investigations of prehistoric coastal adaptations in the Sonoran Desert, and the first research collaboration of U.S. and Mexican archaeologists and other researchers in this coastal region. Through this work, we are documenting material and chronological evidence of seasonal movements of diverse human groups across the present-day U.S.-Mexico border over the last 6,000 years, coeval with changing coastal landforms and ecosystems. In addition, our project is trying to address several research issues through continued fieldwork and analyses in this area of the northern Gulf of California, including paleoenvironmental history of the coast, the cultural identities of prehistoric groups using this coastal area, patterns of interaction and exchange, and the impacts of economic development on the archaeological record of the region.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No reservations needed. For details visit www.az-arch-and-hist.org <http://www.az-arch-and-hist.org> or contact John D. Hall at 520-205-2553 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
February 19 & 26 and March 12 & 19, 2019: Tucson
“Finding the Whole in Our Past: Episodes in Modern World History” ASM Master Class taught by historian Dr. Michael M. Brescia in the University of Arizona’s Old Main, Silver and Sage Room, 1200 E. University Blvd., Tucson*
9:30 to 11:30 a.m. each Thursday; $200 ASM members, $250 nonmembers
This four-part series will differ from the more traditional 'western civ' approach to understanding the past and instead take the entire globe as its field of historical study. Dr. Brescia will examine the history of the modern world since 1500 via the premise that political, economic, and cultural interconnections and dependencies among peoples of the world--nowadays called "globalization"-- have deep roots in the past. Societies and cultures around the world unfolded neither in isolation nor in a vacuum but rather as a consequence of their relationships with neighboring and sometimes distant peoples. To make sense of the world in which we live today, we will cultivate our historical imaginations to critically view the globe and its peoples as a whole rather than as discrete and exceptional units devoid of contact and exchange. Broad coverage of the modern world includes the origins of global interdependence (1450-1800); the age of revolution, industry, and empire (1750-1914); and the so-called 'short twentieth century.' Light refreshments and campus parking included.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Layering Diverse Relationships to Place: A View from the Top of Inscription Rock” by Kelsey Hanson at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant, 5252 S. Mission Road, Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense)
Towering high above El Morro Valley in New Mexico, Inscription Rock is a massive sandstone promontory that has attracted diverse groups of people for centuries. Principally known for its early Spanish inscriptions, Inscription Rock manifests a deeper, centuries-long reverence in hundreds of petroglyphs and pictographs, hand-and-toe-hold trails, and pueblos. In this talk, University of Arizona School of Anthropology Ph.D. student Kelsey Hanson addresses the question “How can we both recognize and protect diverse relationships to a single place without privileging some relationships over others?” Drawing from ongoing work to nominate the Inscription Rock Archaeological District to the National Register of Historic Places, she demonstrates the importance of underappreciated legal mechanisms for layering historic relationships to places. This presentation will highlight the benefits of working with multiple stakeholders and the importance of proactively seeking multiple layers of protection for places of cultural significance.
Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the Wednesday before the program date: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] or 520-798-1201.

“Postcard History” free presentation by Dr. Ann Lane Hedlund sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM) in Center for English as a Second Language (CESL) Room 103, 1100 James E. Rogers Way, University of Arizona campus, Tucson*
7-9 p.m. Free
Beginning in the late 1800s, amateur and professional photographers documented Diné (Navajo) weavers and their artwork. The images they captured tell stories of the artists, their homes, and the materials, techniques, and designs they used. Many postcards illustrate their publishers' efforts at popularizing travel in the American Southwest and promoting Navajo weaving, and relate to the economic, social, and political realities that influenced the region's most iconic craft. In this richly illustrated talk, Ann Hedlund discusses how she and her co-authors interpreted over 150 postcards dating from the 1880s to 1980s as historic documents. She describes these cards as important time capsules that shed new light on traditional weaving practices and on the tourist trade. Reception and book signing follow program.

A.D. 570-670) occupation corresponds with the founding of Hohokam villages throughout southern and central Arizona. The Late Rincon/Tanque Verde phase (ca. A.D. 1150-1250) occupation occurred during the transition between the Hohokam pre-Classic and Classic periods. Environmental constraints combined with the existing social landscape likely led to the abandonment of the Tortolita habitation at PACC, but not the place. Investments made in the land and the rights to those lands remained tied to the social group who moved from PACC. Evidence suggests that the floodplain adjacent to PACC continued to be farmed long after habitation at PACC ceased. As pre-Classic villages began to fragment in the 11th and 12th centuries, people returned to the abandoned settlement at PACC, drawn by their long-held ties to the land. New habitation structures were constructed within the old plaza, the physical and social center of the abandoned village. Though not "occupied" for 450 years, the rights to the farmlands associated with the place had been maintained through time. During a time of social stress, the holders of those rights, real or created, returned.

“Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Lake Havasu Museum of History at ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu’s Daytona Hall (gymnasium), 100 University Way, Lake Havasu City, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
5:30-6:30 p.m. reception, 7-8:30 p.m. presentation. Free
Ancient Indian pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) are claimed by some to be forms of writing for which meanings are known. But are such claims supported by archaeology or by Native Americans themselves? Mr. Dart illustrates southwestern petroglyphs and pictographs, and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native American perspectives. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“Ancient Southwestern Native American Pottery” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Prescott Valley Public Library, 7401 E Civic Circle, Prescott Valley, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
6-7 p.m. Free
In this presentation Mr. Dart shows and discusses Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific peoples and eras in the U.S. Southwest prior to about 1450, and talks about how archaeologists use pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He discusses the importance of context in archaeology, how the things people make change in style over time, and how different styles are useful for identifying different cultures and for dating archaeological sites. His many illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the American Southwest from about 2000 to 500 years ago. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

Thursday April 18, 2019: Tucson
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Whiskey is for Drinking, Water is for Fighting Over: Spain’s Impact on Law and Natural Resources in the American West” by historian Dr. Michael M. Brescia at a Tucson-area restaurant to be announced.
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu at your expense)
We tend to think that Spain’s historical influence in Arizona and the greater Southwest is confined to language and religion, but its impact on law and agrarian practices tells us the fascinating story of water and the rhythms of daily life. Despite the 164 years that have passed since Arizona and southwestern New Mexico entered the United States (and 170 years for other places like California and northern New Mexico), American Indians and the Hispanic descendants of the first Spanish conquistadors continue to call upon old Spanish law to defend their rights to natural resources. Dr. Brescia examines how the Spanish empire defined property and natural resources during the colonial period, the reasons why Spanish water rights are taken into consideration by the U.S. judicial system today, and the inevitable clash that has taken place between two legal systems -- American common law and Hispanic civil law – in the adjudication of water disputes in the Southwest.

“Land and Sky in the Cultural Sciences of the Greater Southwest” conference at Native American Cultural Center, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff*
Four days; registration options start at $80 to attend for 2 days
This Society for Cultural Astronomy in the American Southwest conference features papers and presentations addressing the development of science within native cultures to give us a broader perspective of how the science of a native tribe’s astronomy fits within a broader “cultural classification system” or cosmovision. It focuses on the integration of land and sky into a cultural landscape with an emphasis on astronomy lore, ethnobotany, climate patterns, and resource management in an ever-changing world.

Friday April 26, 2019: Tularosa, NM
“Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Jornada Research Institute in Tularosa, New Mexico*
TIME TBA
Preliterate cultures in the American Southwest took advantage of southern Arizona’s long growing season and tackled its challenge of limited precipitation by developing the most extensive irrigation works in all of North America. Agriculture was introduced into southern Arizona more than 4,000 years ago, and irrigation systems were developed here by at least 3,500 years before present – several hundred years before irrigation was established in ancient Mexico. This study session provides an overview of ancient Native American irrigation systems identified by archaeologists in the southern Southwest and discusses their implications for understanding social complexity.

“Old-Time Religion? The Salado Phenomenon in the Greater Southwest” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at El Paso Museum of Archaeology, 4301 Transmountain Road, El Paso*
2-3 p.m. Free
When first recognized by archaeologists in the early twentieth century, a constellation of peculiar cultural traits in the southwestern United States, including polychrome (three-colored) pottery, above-ground housing often enclosed in walled compounds, and monumental architecture, was thought to be indicative of a distinct group of people: “the Salado.” As more and more research was done and the widespread distribution of Salado material culture because apparent, interpretations of what the Salado phenomenon represents was debated. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart will illustrate pottery and other cultural attributes of the so-called Salado culture, review some of the theories about the Salado, and discuss how Salado related to the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon, Hohokam, and Casa Grandes cultures of the “Greater Southwest” (the U.S. Southwest and Mexico’s Northwest).

Saturday July 20, 2019: Tucson
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeology, Paleontology, and Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour” starting in the courtyard at Mercado San Agustin, 100 S. Avenida del Convento, Tucson
8 a.m. to noon: $25 donation ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members)
This Old Pueblo Archaeology Center summer tour visits two TOO-COOL environmental-science laboratories in Tucson – the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, both administered by The University of Arizona (UA). In the first tour segment, Dr. Ben Wilder will lead us through the Tumamoc Desert Laboratory, which began its existence in 1903 as the Carnegie Desert Botanical Laboratory established by the Carnegie Institution of Washington and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1940 the Carnegie Institution sold it to the US Forest Service for $1, and in 1956 the UA bought it from the U.S. government, promising in the deed to use it solely for research and education. During its 115 years of existence the Tumamoc Hill and Desert Laboratory staff have been on the cutting edge in the fields of paleontology and desert ecology.
The UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) also has a venerable record of research in archaeology, astronomy, and environmental sciences. Created in 1937 by UA Professor of Astronomy Andrew Ellicott Douglass, founder of the science of dendrochronology, the LTRR has helped establish many other dendrochronology and tree-ring science labs around the world and remains a foremost facility in environmental research, teaching, and outreach, as we will see as docent Randall Smith leads us through the tree-ring laboratory.
The first tour segment to Tumamoc Hill is limited to six vehicles so carpooling is required and no more than 24 people (in addition to Old Pueblo’s tour coordinator Allen Dart) can register depending on whether we can designate six 4-passenger vehicles for carpooling from Mercado San Agustin to the Desert Lab. Then after we leave there we will return to the Mercado so carpoolers can get back into their own vehicles, and we will caravan from the Mercado to the LTRR for the second tour segment. Reservations and donation prepayments are required by 5 p.m. Wednesday July 17: 520-798-1201 or <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]

Saturday December 7, 2019: Gila Bend area, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Sears Point, Painted Rock, and Gatlin: Patayan and Hohokam Petroglyphs and Archaeology” tour guided by archaeologist Dr. Aaron M. Wright starting at Interstate 8 Exit 78 (Spot Road) approximately 39 miles west of Gila Bend, Arizona
10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (or later if joining the group for dinner in Gila Bend). A $45 donation per participant ($36 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center & Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
Archaeologist Dr. Aaron Wright leads this tour to see thousands of petroglyphs and one of the largest Hohokam village sites in southwestern Arizona. Aaron, a Preservation Archaeologist with Tucson’s Archaeology Southwest organization, has research interests in paleoclimatology, indigenous Southwest ritualism and religion, and rock art and has been a leader in the effort to establish a Great Bend of the Gila National Monument. The first place we’ll visit is Sears Point, the northwestern escarpment of the Sentinel Plain – a vast basaltic field dotted with low shield volcanoes located along the lower Gila River between Gila Bend and Yuma, Arizona. Sears Point is renowned for its density of petroglyphs as well as their unique style attributed to the Patayan culture tradition (believed to be ancestral to contemporary Yuman- and O'odham-speaking communities). The site is adorned with thousands of petroglyphs and seemingly endless ancient trails. Next, we’ll caravan to the Painted Rocks petroglyphs site northwest of Gila Bend, and finally will visit the Gatlin Platform Mound village site in Gila Bend. Tour participants interested in having dinner together before returning home can reconvene at Sophia's Mexican Restaurant in Gila Bend after the tour.

(4) OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER’S YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Reservations are taken continually for school classes and other children’s groups take advantage of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s OPEN3 simulated archaeological excavation, OPENOUT archaeology outreach presentations, and archaeological site-touring children’s education programs.
The OPEN3 Simulated Archaeological Excavation Education Program
The Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood (OPEN) program allows students and adults to learn what archaeology is all about by excavation in “OPEN3,” a full-scale model of an archaeological site. OPEN3 is a simulated excavation site that archaeologists have constructed to resemble a southern Arizona Hohokam Indian ruin. It has full-size replicas of prehistoric pithouses and outdoor features that the Hohokam used for cooking, storage, and other (sometimes surprising) purposes. Students participating in the program get to learn and practice techniques used to excavate real archaeological sites. They are also exposed to scientific interpretation of how ancient people constructed their houses, what they looked like, ate, and believed in, and how they created beauty in their lives.
OPENOUT Archaeology Outreach Presentations
Old Pueblo’s OPENOUT (Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood Outreach) program offers 45-60 minute presentations by professional archaeologists. Each presentation shows kids how some aspects of everyday life have changed while others have stayed the same.
The “Ancient People of Arizona” presentation gives children an overview of how the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), Mogollon, and Hohokam peoples lived.
The “Lifestyle of the Hohokam” program shows children how the ancient Hohokam lived.
The “Ancient People of Arizona” and “Lifestyle of the Hohokam” presentations both include real and replica artifacts, plus abundant illustrations to help children experience how prehistoric Native Americans of our area lived and to appreciate the arts they created.
“What is an Archaeologist?” is a program designed to give children an idea of what archaeologists do, how they do it, and how they learn about people through their work. This presentation includes examples of the tools archaeologists work with, real and replica artifacts, and activities to help children experience how archaeologists interpret the past.
The hands-on materials and fun lesson plans in our OPENOUT programs bring archaeology and the past alive for children and are a perfect prelude for the OPEN3 simulated archaeological excavation program.
Tours for Youth
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers guided tours to real archaeological sites for classrooms and other organized children’s groups. Heritage sites that can be visited in this program include a choice of the Picture Rocks petroglyphs site (visited by the school group shown in the accompanying photo), Los Morteros Hohokam Village, or Vista del Rio Hohokam Village. Each youth tour is a guided visit that does not include archaeological excavation; participants are not allowed to collect artifacts.
