Activities Coming Up Soon

“Archaeology Summer Camp” for ages 10-14 at Presidio San Agustín
del Tucson Museum, 196 N. Court Ave., Tucson*
8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. each day. $290 (Presidio Museum members
$265). Lunch and snacks are NOT provided.
Campers will learn how archaeologists really work through a
series of hands-on activities that include using pre-Hispanic tools,
excavating a simulated archaeological site, and analyzing the artifacts they
have found. This camp teaches the science of archaeological and artifact
analysis. There is some digging but most time is spent on what happens
before and after the dig.

Wednesday June 29, 2022: Prescott, AZ
“Artist Talk” free presentation by Dale O’Dell for exhibit at
Yavapai College Art Gallery, 1100 E. Sheldon St., Building 16 (next to
theater), Prescott, Arizona*
5 p.m. Free.
In conjunction with Yavapai College Art Gallery’s new “Rock Art
of the American Southwest: Photographic Documentation, Restoration &
Reinterpretation” exhibit (showing through August 5), Dale O’Dell will
discuss the process he used to document rock art and to repair damaged sites
to bring petroglyphs and pictographs back to how they were left by ancient
artists, and his reinterpretation and modernization of the rock art moving
it into the gallery and into the 21st century. He will describe the
destruction of some sites by vandals and the potential endangerment of sites
due to deregulation, and how to photograph and behave at such sites. His
PowerPoint presentation will include photographs of individual petroglyphs
and pictographs, documentation of whole panels and rock art in the
landscape, and will conclude with a series of modernized,
digital-impressionist images using the ancient art as source material.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more

Thursday June 30, 2022: Online
“Holes in our Moccasins, Holes in our Stories: Apachean Origins
and the Promontory Caves” free online presentation by archaeologist John
Ives, PhD, sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
In 1930-1931, anthropologist Julian Steward recovered hundreds
of well-worn moccasins in Utah’s Promontory caves – along with mittens,
bison robe fragments, bows, arrows, pottery, bone and stone tools, cordage,
gaming pieces, and abundant faunal remains – making for one of the most
remarkable hunter-gatherer archaeological records in western North America.
Steward recognized the moccasins and other artifacts were out of place in
the Great Basin and instead were characteristic of the Canadian Subarctic
and northern Plains. He further suspected they reflected ancestral Apachean
populations who left the Canadian Subarctic, ultimately making their homes
in the Southwest and southern Plains. Steward’s findings languished for
decades, with the Promontory materials regarded as enigmatic. Dr. John Ives’
Apachean Origins research has involved new excavations in Promontory Caves 1
and 2 that reinforce Steward’s conclusion that the early Promontory phase
resulted from an intrusive, large-game hunting population, particularly of
bison, very different from nearby late Fremont communities. While lingering
for just one or two human generations, the cave occupants began to accept
people as well as material and symbolic culture from surrounding 13th
century neighbors. Ives and collleagues employ a transdisciplinary search
image to evaluate the possibility that the Promontory phase materials
reflect the presence of Apachean ancestors, with a treatment that expands to
Franktown Cave in Colorado and other sites suspected of having Apachean
connections. In these records lie the seeds for the intensive
Plains-Puebloan interactions of the centuries that followed. John W. (Jack)
Ives has been a professor in the Department of Anthropology, University of
Alberta since 2007.
