2022: Near Sedona, AZ
“Crescent Moon Ranch, AZ 2022” HistoriCorps and Coconino
National Forest offer volunteer-assisted repair project at Crescent Moon
Ranch, Arizona*
Volunteers arrive Sunday evening; daylight hours daily
thereafter. No fees.
Located about 15 minutes south of Sedona at the base of
Cathedral Rocks, Crescent Moon Ranch was first homesteaded by Prescott
cattleman John Lee in 1880, and was originally called OK Ranch. Lee put in
an irrigation ditch, garden, and orchard, but soon left. Since then, the
ranch has changed hands and been repurposed several times. It was added to
the National Register of Historic Places in April 2022, the first such
designation by the Coconino National Forest in more than 20 years. In this
Phase III of the preservation work at Crescent Moon Ranch, volunteers will
help repair many of the ranch structures including the packing shed, well
house, hay loft, main barn, and water wheel shed. Volunteers will camp near
the ranch in tents, truck campers, or campervans; the site is inaccessible
to RVs and trailers. Historicorps provides all meals, tools, and training;
volunteers are responsible for their own transit to the site as well as
personal camping equipment, work gloves, work clothes, and sturdy boots (not
sneakers/light hikers).

October 17, 2022: Online
“Chacoan Perishable Technologies in Regional Perspective” free
presentation by Ed Jolie, PhD, sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Between about 850 and 1140 CE, the archaeology of Chaco Canyon
in northwestern New Mexico reveals the rapid construction of large communal
structures where smaller settlements had existed previously and shows that
the locality became the core of an extensive regional system in the Four
Corners region of the northern Southwest integrated by formal trails, the
circulation of nonlocal goods, and the sharing of ritual items. Researchers
debate the role of increased sociopolitical complexity in this development,
but less attention has been given to questions of sociocultural diversity
and its impacts. Guided by previous research suggesting the existence of
sociocultural or biological diversity, Ed Jolie examined large numbers of
baskets, mats, and sandals seeking to distinguish patterned stylistic
variability in woven artifact manufacture with implications for
understanding sociocultural diversity within and across the Chaco system.
This presentation focuses on the distribution of traditions of ritual
basketry at Chaco Canyon and beyond to suggest linkages between the social
entities that maintained them, first at Pueblo Bonito and, later, at
outlying communities. Diversity in ritual practice emerges as factor that
likely both facilitated a shared Chacoan identity and integrated newcomers.
Edward A. Jolie, an anthropological archaeologist, is Clara Lee Tanner
Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate
Professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. He is
of mixed Oglala Lakota (Sioux) and Hodulgee Muscogee (Creek) ancestry, and
an enrolled citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma.

“Federal Indian Boarding Schools in Colorado” free online
presentation by with Holly Norton and Garrett Briggs sponsored by the
Colorado Archaeological Society’s Hisatsinom Chapter and Crow Canyon
Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4-5 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
The State of Colorado had two off-reservation boarding schools,
the Teller Institute in Grand Junction, which operated from 1886-1911, and
the Fort Lewis Indian Boarding School, which operated from 1891-1911. Both
schools were part of an Indian education experiment focused on the goal of
assimilation and systemic eradication of traditional Native practices
including clothing, hairstyles, language, spiritual beliefs, and religious
systems. This educational approach to force Native American youth into
mainstream society has come more sharply under investigation across the
country in the last several years. Dr. Holly Norton (History Colorado) and
Mr. Garrett Briggs (Southern Ute Indian Tribe) will discuss the current
efforts under way in Colorado for both Teller Institute and Fort Lewis.

“The Underground and Overground Railroad” free presentation by
Dr. Tamika Sanders at Chandler Downtown Library, 22 S. Delaware St.,
Chandler, Arizona*
10-11 am. Free.
Using storytelling, historical artifacts and songs, this
presentation depicts the ingenuity and resiliency used by those involved in
the Underground Railroad to help over 100,000 enslaved people escape to
freedom between 1810 and 1850. It then fast-forwards to the Jim Crow era and
explores the Overground Railroad created by the Green Book, which helped
foster a network of safe spaces that allowed Blacks to travel, live, and
work despite illegal and legally sanctioned discrimination through Jim Crow
laws. Dr. Sanders’ work revolves around bringing a diversity of real-world
perspectives into programming initiatives and creating strategic community
partnerships that can generate revenue and provide access to resources and
opportunities for marginalized groups. This program is made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

“Desert Rats, River Runners, and Canyon Crawlers: Four Arizona
Explorers” free presentation with Gregory McNamee at the Phippen Museum,
4701 Highway 89 North, Prescott, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
1-2:30 pm. Free.
Francisco Garcés, a Franciscan friar, arrived in what is now
Arizona in 1768. Assigned to the church at San Xavier del Bac south of
present-day Tucson, he traveled widely throughout Arizona and California,
charting overland routes that later travelers would follow. Near where
Garcés would meet his death in 1781, an American soldier named Joseph
Christmas Ives embarked on an arduous expedition up the Colorado River, one
of the first Americans to see what he called the Big Canyon. A dozen years
later, the river-running explorer John Wesley Powell would name it the Grand
Canyon, and a hundred years after that a writer named Edward Abbey would
explore the canyon country, writing classic books such as Desert Solitaire
and Black Sun. In this talk, writer, editor, photographer, and publisher
Gregory McNamee looks back on the accomplishments of these four explorers,
each of whom shaped our understanding of this wild, sometimes challenging
place called Arizona. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“Guided Tour to Black Cave and Vaquero Shelter Rock Art Sites”
with archaeologist Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research
& Education Center (Shumla), starting at Shumla, 28 Langtry St., Comstock,
Texas*
8 am-3 pm. $160.
Black Cave is a large rockshelter within Upper Presa Canyon in
Seminole Canyon State Park that contains striking and vibrant rock art,
owing its preservation to its location high above the shelter floor (which
probably would have required the construction of scaffolding to create).
Vaquero Shelter gets its name for the Historic period rock art depicting two
riders mounted on horseback with a longhorn cow and calf adjacent to a
structure resembling a Spanish mission and a man in a Spanish uniform. Other
rock art styles are present denoting continued use throughout precontact
times.

Atascosa Borderlands: Visual Storytelling Along the
Arizona-Sonora Border” free presentation with Luke Swenson and Jack Dash
sponsored by Arizona Humanities at the Ellis-Shackelford House, 1242 N.
Central Ave., Phoenix, and online*
6 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Tucked away in southern Arizona's rough terrain lies a remote
stretch of land connecting the United States and Mexico: The Atascosa
Borderlands. Documentary photographer Luke Swenson and writer/naturalist
Jack Dash traveled to the Atascosas for an ecological, photographic floral
survey. What they found was a cultural, ecological, and historical corridor
between Mexico and the US. They examined the region’s use as a migratory and
smuggling route, witnessed border wall construction, and observed the
ongoing environmental and social disruptions that followed. They listened to
the voices of cattle ranchers, ecologists, humanitarian aid workers,
migrants, militia members, Coues deer hunters, ex-border patrol agents, and
Indigenous community members. Their survey and observations inspired them to
create Atascosa Borderlands, a community-based visual storytelling project
combining original film photography, recorded oral history interviews, a
botanical collection, and a digital archive of historical photographs from
community members and from state and national archives. This program is
made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“Specters of the Past –Ghost Towns That Built Arizona” free
presentation by Jay Mark sponsored by Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce
and Arizona Humanities at McFarland State Historic Park, 24 W. Ruggles St.,
Florence, Arizona*
11 am-noon. Free.
In addition to an entertaining, visual display of the
communities, towns and settlements that contributed to the early growth of
the state, this presentation also focuses on respect for these diminishing
historic resources. Most of the photographs represent a comprehensive
exploration of Arizona ghost towns made by Mr. Mark in the 1960s and 1970s,
just prior to a major period of incursion and destruction by off-road and
all-terrain vehicles. Many sites are no longer extant or have been seriously
degraded over the last 50-60 years. This presentation emphasizes the need to
respect these valuable, but fragile and vulnerable cultural resources. This
program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“Paint Technology in the Chaco World” free online presentation
by archaeologist Kelsey Hanson, sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological
Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Paint is one of the oldest known human technologies, yet it
remains underrepresented in archaeological discourse. Making paint requires
intimate knowledge of geologic sources, processing requirements, and
application techniques. In the contemporary Pueblo World, paint is an
especially important element of performance regalia, communicating important
knowledge, directional symbolism, and more. Excavations at Chaco Canyon
great houses have yielded enormous amounts of archaeological pigment, paint,
paint production tools, and painted media. In this talk, University of
Arizona PhD candidate Kelsey E. Hanson will provide some preliminary
insights from the study of these objects in museum collections,
contextualize paint as a technology, illustrate its significance in
performances in the Chaco World, and offer some thoughts on sociopolitical
change in the rise and fall of the Chaco World.

“Contemporary Native Warriors” free online presentation by
Warren Queton sponsored by the Amerind Museum, 2100 N. Amerind Rd., Dragoon,
Arizona*
11 am Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested)
Warren Queton (Kiowa, Cherokee, and Seminole) will discuss
American Indian veterans in the military and their relationships to

Native American culture, and identify and hopefully remove some stereotypes
audience members may have acquired over their lifetimes. Among the topics to
be discussed are the key components of Warrior Tradition in Native society,
information about contemporary American Indian and Alaskan Native veterans,
how to distinguish and utilize appropriate American Indian and Alaskan
Native vocabulary, and how to apply cultural knowledge to work more
effectively with Indigenous community members. Warren Queton is a Kiowa
Tribe of Oklahoma citizen, a military veteran, and an active Major in the
Oklahoma Army National Guard who completed three tours overseas including in
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.

November 6-11 or 13-18, 2022: Joshua Tree National Park, California
“Silver Bell Ore Bins, CA 2022” HistoriCorps and partner Joshua
Tree National Park offer volunteer-assisted rehabilitation and repair
project in the national park*
Arrive between 5 and 7 pm first day; daylight hours daily
thereafter. No fees.
The Silver Bell Ore Bins (aka tipples) are adjacent to the
Silver Bell Mine, which operated as a surface mine from ca. 1934 to 1962.
Gold and silver were extracted in the early years of mine production, later
shifting to lead and copper. The ore bins were constructed sometime after
1956, representing post-WWII mining activity which was limited within the
park boundaries. Other original mine features and equipment were salvaged
for reuse after the mine ceased operations, however, terracing and the road
access are still present. Many other mine sites within the district can be
viewed from the Silver Bell site. Learn more about the park's ecology, its
history, and its namesake tree from the National Park Service during this
volunteer-assisted project to improve site drainage and trail conditions
around the Ore Bins, reconstruct and extend a stone foundation wall below
Ore Bin #1, and repoint a stone foundation wall below Ore Bin #2. Volunteers
will camp (tent, campervan, or truck camp) at the Sheep Pass Group Camp and
hike in daily. RVs/trailers and dogs are not permitted on this site.
Historicorps provides all meals, tools, and training. Volunteers are
responsible for their own transit to the site, personal camping equipment,
work gloves, work clothes, and sturdy boots.

Saturday November 12, 2022: Ironwood Forest National Monument, AZ
“Cocoraque Butte Archaeological District Hike” free petroglyph
site tour with archaeologist Allen Dart sponsored by Friends of Ironwood
Forest, starting at N. Sandario Rd. & W. Mile Wide Rd. intersection west of
Tucson*
8 am-1 pm. Free.
Cocoraque Butte is a Tucson-area site offering abundant rock art
and other archaeological objects of scientific interest within the Ironwood
Forest National Monument. At least 150 sites from the precontact Hohokam era
(ca. 650-1450 CE) are recorded in the area. Expect unusual petroglyphs that
you may not have seen before and bring your camera and/or binoculars. Also,
expect moderate rocky terrain on this hike. The trek from the parking area
to the petroglyph sites is a relatively flat and easy hike but getting up to
the petroglyphs is challenging for some hikers because one must scramble up
and around boulders and bedrock on a 120-foot-high butte to see many of the
glyphs. You must be in good physical condition to go on the hike. There are
no restrooms or other facilities within the Monument, and the dirt roads are
not well maintained. Wear sturdy hiking shoes (not open-toed ones), pack at
least one liter of water plus snacks and lunch, and don’t forget your hat,
sunscreen, camera and binoculars.

Saturdays November 12 and December 10, 2022: Florence, TX
“Guided Tours of the Gault Site” offered by the Gault School of
Archaeological Research through the Bell County Museum (Belton, Texas) or
the Williamson Museum (Georgetown, Texas) at the Gault archaeological site,
3433 FM 2843, Florence, Texas*
9 am-noon. $10 (ages 10 and under free). Williamson Museum tour
November 12; Bell County Museum tour December 10.
The Gault School of Archaeological Research (Austin, Texas)
offers guided tours of the Gault archaeological site in partnership with the
Bell County Museum and the Williamson Museum. Gault, about 40 miles north of
Austin, Texas, has produced evidence of almost continuous human occupation
starting at least 16,000 years ago, making it one of the earliest reliably
dated sites in North and South America. For decades most archaeologists
believed that the Clovis Paleoindian people, who made distinctive projectile
points and other stone artifacts, were the first to arrive in the Americas
about 13,500 years ago and that they quickly spread throughout the Americas.
Gault and other earlier sites have refuted the “Clovis First” idea. The
Gault site contains pre-Clovis strata with evidence of human occupation and
has produced evidence that Clovis people were full-range hunter-gatherers
rather than just hunters of mammoths and other big-game animals. Gault’s
upper geological layers have Archaic (9,000 to 1200 years before present)
and late precontact (1200 to 500 BP) archaeological material. Gault also was
a source of high-quality Edwards Plateau chert, which was used for making
flaked stone tools that have been found as far away as northern Colorado.

Archaeology lets us explore what it means to be human, but the
field is shaped by those who participate in it and the knowledge systems
they prioritize. This 90-minute panel discussion will highlight the
importance of recognizing and including Indigenous traditional knowledge and
perspectives, as five Native American archaeologists share their experiences
and challenges in a field created by colonizers.

“De-Colonizing the Colorado River: Can We Re-Think Our
Relationship with Water?” free presentation with Andrew Curley, PhD,
sponsored by Arizona Humanities at the Ellis-Shackelford House, 1242 N.
Central Ave., Phoenix, and online*
6 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Climate change is seen as the main culprit behind a drier,
hotter Arizona. But what are the other factors contributing toward our water
crisis? For 100 years, the Colorado River Compact established the law of the
river. It codified water rights and spurred the modernization of water
infrastructure. It fundamentally reshaped the natural environment and the
way of life for Indigenous nations. What is the cultural legacy and impact
of Arizona’s dams, reservoirs, and water systems? Can Indigenous ways of
thinking about our relationship to water and land help us tackle the
challenges of our changing environment? Join Arizona Humanities for a lively
program with Dr. Andrew Curley (Assistant Professor, School of Geography,
Development & Environment, University of Arizona) that re-examines the past
to help us think about the future of water in the Southwest.

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program
featuring “Navajo Pueblito Sites in Dinétah: Origins and Variability”
presentation by archaeologist Ronald H. Towner, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson
7 to 8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free
Pueblitos, as the name implies, are small masonry structures. In
the ancestral Navajo homeland of Dinétah in northwestern New Mexico, more
than 250 such structures and associated hogans have been documented. Once
thought to be the result of a massive immigration of Pueblo people fleeing
the Spaniards, research in the past 2+ decades demonstrates significant
variation in these sites over time. This presentation describes this
variation and suggests important implications for understanding Navajo
cultural development and land use in the 18th century. Dr. Ronald H. Towner,
an Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research and School of
Anthropology at the University of Arizona, did his dissertation on Navajo
pueblitos and has more than 35 years experience in western US archaeology in
contract, academic, and volunteer settings.

Friday & Saturday November 18 & 19, 2022: Central Arizona
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Salado, Whatever that Means”
tour with archaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart starting in northwest corner
of Walmart parking lot at 1695 N. Arizona Blvd., Coolidge, Arizona
9 am Friday to 1 pm or later Saturday. $99 donation per person
($80 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum
members) includes all site entry fees and Old Pueblo’s expenses but no
transportation, lodging, or meals.
Archaeologists Rich Lange and Al Dart lead this car-caravan
educational tour to central Arizona archaeological sites representing the
“Salado phenomenon.” What does “Salado” mean? Was Salado a distinct
precontact-era culture like the Ancestral Pueblo, Hohokam, Mogollon, and
Patayan cultures (all of which were at least partly contemporary with
Salado)? If not, then what was Salado exactly? During this tour, Rich and Al
will discuss these ideas during visits to the Casa Grande Ruins in Coolidge
and Besh Ba Gowah Pueblo and Gila Pueblo on Friday, and Tonto National
Monument’s Lower Cliff Dwelling and the Schoolhouse Point Platform Mound
archaeological site near Roosevelt Lake on Saturday. On the drive from
Coolidge to Globe, participants will see spectacular central Arizona
mountains and scenery including Queen Creek Canyon, Devil's Canyon, and the
fabled Apache Leap. There are several restaurant options in Globe for Friday
lunch and dinner and Saturday breakfast. Participants provide their own
lodging, meals, and transportation.

“Arizona’s and New Mexico’s Hidden Scholars: Husband and Wife
Archaeological Teams” free online presentation by Nancy Parezo, PhD,
sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
In 1983 Dr. Nancy Parezo began a research project to document
and honor the over 1600 women who worked in the American Southwest between
1870 and 1940 and published articles about what they learned. We knew much
about the most famous of the over 3,500 men who likewise worked in the
region, especially Franz Boas, John Wesley Powell, and Emil Haury, whose
contributions had been analyzed and celebrated in histories of anthropology.
But what about women like Lucy Wilson, Natalie Curtis Burlin, Matilda Coxe
Stevenson, or Marion Mindeleff? Over the last 30 years a group of dedicated
scholars have tried to rectify these omissions by uncovering who worked in
the American Southwest and producing summaries of work, biographies,
analyses of their intellectual contributions and data collection activities,
exhibits, and popular articles. We have even had women declared state
treasures. This presentation will focus on recent work by Dr. Parezo and
colleagues Don and Kay Fowler on early husband and wife archaeological teams
who worked in Arizona and New Mexico, and how their efforts have gone
unrecognized but helped pave the way for future generations to have
successful careers.

“Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art”
free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Casa Grande Ruins National
Monument, 1100 Ruins Dr., Coolidge, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities*
1-2:30 pm. 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.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program
featuring “Tracking the First Americans across the White Sands” presentation
by archaeologist Vance Holliday, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free
The question of when people first arrived in the Americas, based
on scientific evidence, has been argued for decades and even centuries. For
many years the conventional answer was about 13,000 years ago with the
appearance of people who made distinctive artifacts called Clovis points
(named for a famous archaeological site near Clovis, New Mexico). Other
sites have been proposed as being older than Clovis. A few early occupations
ca. 14,000 to ca. 16,000 years old were about the oldest well-documented
sites accepted by most (but not all) archaeologists. The White Sands
locality changed that for many archaeologists. The site provides convincing
evidence that humans were in what is now southern New Mexico between 23,000
and 21,000 years ago. That is the oldest obvious case we have. Human
activity in the form of footprints is quite clear and numerous and the
dating is solid. At other sites considered older than Clovis, often there
are debates over the age or presence of humans, which is usually based on
interpretations of broken rocks or bones as tools. The time range for the
tracks at White Sands is significant because it puts people in the Americas
during the last Ice Age, which means they were likely here sooner, before
the last Ice Age covered essentially all of Canada from coast to coast maybe
25,000+ years ago.

archaeologist Aaron M. Wright, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717-0577
8 am to 5 pm on each Saturday. $99 donation ($80 for members of
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, the Arizona Archaeological Society, and
Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum); donation does not include cost of optional
AAS membership or AAS Certification Program enrollment.
Rock imagery – as in petroglyphs and pictographs – is found the
world over and is especially abundant in the southwestern region of North
America. With 20 hours of seminar and 42 hours of fieldwork, this course
will provide enrollees a basic intellectual and practical experience in the
inventory and documentation of rock imagery. While both the classroom and
fieldwork components will be situated in southern Arizona, the knowledge
gained and skills developed will be applicable to any rock imagery context
worldwide. Participants who successfully complete the course will have
developed a general familiarity with rock imagery, be able to converse with
more experienced avocationals and professionals in the field, understand the
relevant laws, methods, and ethics, and be field-ready for future field
projects.
Class sessions scheduled for Saturdays January 21, February 4
and 18, March 4 and 25, and April 8 and 22 each will include 2½ hours of
in-classroom and 5½ hours of field recording time with two half-hour breaks.
Most or all of the class fieldwork will be at the Picture Rocks petroglyphs
site west of Tucson. Participants are responsible for providing their own
transportation, lunches, and lodging. Participants also are encouraged to
attend the March 3-6 American Rock Art Research Association Conference in
Tucson (information to be forthcoming).
Dr. Aaron Wright is a Preservation Anthropologist with the
Tucson-based Archaeology Southwest nonprofit organization and author of
Religion on the Rocks: Hohokam Rock Art, Ritual Practice, and Social
Transformation (University of Utah Press, 2014) among other publications.
The class meets the requirements of the Arizona Archaeological
Society (AAS) Training, Certification and Education (TCE) program's “Rock
Art Recorder” course. For information on the AAS and its TCE program visit
<http://www.azarchsoc.org/page-807603> www.azarchsoc.org/page-807603.

of either the AAS “Archaeology of the Southwest” or “Advanced Southwest
Archaeology – Hohokam” class or equivalent training approved by Dr. Wright.
Class is limited to 16 participants. Reservations and prepayment
are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Friday January 13,
whichever is earlier. To register or for more information contact Old Pueblo
