of such features are not only important aspects of his research, but also
serve as the foci of social experiences that bring people together through
labor and food.

“Chaco, Mimbres and Paquimé: A New Synthesis” free presentation by
archaeologist Steven LeBlanc, PhD, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum
(ASM) in Environmental & Natural Resources (ENR) Bldg. 2, Room S107
(ground-floor auditorium), 1064 E. Lowell St., University of Arizona campus,
Tucson*
3-4 pm. Free.
Chaco Canyon and Paquimé (Casas Grandes) are both World Heritage
Sites. When they were florescing, between them lay the unique Mimbres
archaeological culture. For over 50 years the relationships among these
three culture regions have produced many theories, but little consensus.
Recent information strongly suggests the terminal dates for Chaco and
Mimbres at ca. 1130 CE are very near the initial date for the founding of
Paquimé, thus changing ideas on how they might have been related. A new
synthesis provides insights into the links among these three cultures. Dr.
LeBlanc is retired Director of Collections, Peabody Museum/Harvard
University.

“Towards a History of American Indian – Jewish Relations” free online
presentation by historian David S. Koffman, PhD, sponsored by Crow Canyon
Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
This talk outlines the long, twisted, fascinating, and largely
unknown history of relationships between Jews and American Indians on Turtle
Island, both in the realms of the imagination and in human-to-human,
face-to-face encounters. The saga runs from the seventeenth century supposed
kinship between descendants of the so-called Lost Tribes of Israel and
ancient American Indians, to present-day American debates about who is
Indigenous to Israel-Palestine. In the middle, there will be a discussion on
how Jews fit in among the settlers’ expansion of the western frontier in the
nineteenth century, and the twentieth century Jews who advocated for Native
rights and justice. David S. Koffman is the J. Richard Shiff Chair for the
Study of Canadian Jewry and an associate professor in the Department of
History at York University, where he teaches courses on Canadian Jewish
history, religion in American life, the meanings of money, genealogy as
history, modern antisemitism, and religion & capitalism.

“Assessing the Variability and Chronology of Red Linear Style
Pictographs in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas” free Zoom presentation
by archaeologist Jerod Roberts sponsored by American Rock Art Research
Association (ARARA)*
5:30-7:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. Free.
This presentation aims to further define the characteristics of Red
Linear style anthropomorphic figures, identify regional variations, and
establish its temporal relationship with other regional rock art styles of
the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. In 2013,
archaeologist Carolyn Boyd et al. presented a list of diagnostic attributes
for the Red Linear style, shedding light on its unique features. They also
identified 38 Red Linear figures under the Pecos River style, suggesting
that the Red Linear style is either older than or contemporaneous with the
Pecos River style. Building on this foundation, this thesis incorporates
anthropomorphic attributes from 15 additional Red Linear sites documented
during Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center's Alexandria
Project, resulting in a comprehensive list of 614 Red Linear anthropomorphs
across 25 sites. Statistical and geospatial analyses helped discern regional
variation patterns in the Red Linear style, and radiocarbon dates on seven
Red Linear style anthropomorphs fell between 4830±35 and 4275±35 BP. These
findings bolster Boyd et al.'s conclusions and offer enriched understanding
through absolute dating methods.

“The White Bison: A Sacred Tradition Revived” free online
presentation with Kari Noren-Hoshal and Miguel Angel Vergara, sponsored by
Aztlander, Chicago*
8 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Free.
The Legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman remains one of the central
stories of Native American tradition. And it was from the White Buffalo Calf
Woman that we first learned about the existence of a rare leucistic
variation of the Bison bison species called the “white buffalo.” A white
bison birth is just one in 10 million. Since 1997 one special bison herd has
produced 25 white bison births. Under the care of spiritual intuitive and
animal trainer Cynthia Hart-Button, the herd thrives in their present home
in Amesville, Ohio. Kari Noren-Hoshal is Vice President of the White Bison
Association, and Miguel Angel Vergara is one of the foremost Maya voices in
this vibrant living tradition.

“No Place For A Lady: The Life Story of Marjorie F. Lambert” free
presentation by anthropologist Shelby J. Tisdale, PhD, sponsored by San Tan
Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, Queen Creek, Arizona*
6:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
In the first half of the twentieth century, the canyons and mesas of
the Southwest beckoned and the burgeoning field of archaeology thrived.
Among those who heeded the call, Marjorie Ferguson Lambert became one of
only a handful of women who not only left their imprint on the study of
southwestern archaeology and anthropology but flourished. Award-winning
author Dr. Shelby Tisdale’s new book No Place for a Lady: The Life Story of
Marjorie F. Lambert provides a glimpse into a time when there were few women
establishing full-time careers in anthropology, archaeology, or museums, and
provides insight into the intricacies and politics involved in the
development of archaeology and museums in New Mexico and the greater
Southwest. Dr. Tisdale retired as Director of the Center of Southwest
Studies, Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado, and is a Research Associate
in the School of Anthropology, University of Arizona.

“Feathered Serpents and Pole Climbing Clowns: The Paradox of the
Southwest/Northwest and Mesoamerican Connection” free online presentation by
archaeologist Randall McGuire, PhD, sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological
Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
A comparison of the US Southwest/Mexican Northwest and Mesoamerican
culture areas reveals an intriguing paradox. Parallels occur in cosmology,
iconography, metaphor, and ritual, yet the societies of the two regions
remain qualitatively different. In the past, archaeologists have attempted
to resolve this paradox by either denying significant connections between
the regions (regionalists) or by seeing the SW/NW as the northernmost
extension of Mesoamerica (Mesoamerican advocates). The vast majority of
these scholars have been archaeologists working in the SW/NW. Regionalists
seek an understanding based on the specifics of Southwest history and
ethnography. Mesoamerican advocates argue for profound iconographic,
cosmological, and metaphorical parallels and connections between the
Southwest and the Mesoamerican religions. This has resulted in explanations
for the connections between the two regions that are both too specific and
too general. A multiscalar relational approach presents an alternative to
the two camps. Such comparisons necessitate approaching the problem from
both the SW/NW and Mesoamerica. From this perspective, Dr. McGuire will ask
how the relations between migrations, commerce, conquest, religion, and
elites through time and in space made and remade the Southwest/Northwest and
Mesoamerican connection.

“Late Pleistocene Peopling of the Americas: Integrating Genetics and
Archaeology” free online presentation by archaeologist Ben A. Potter, PhD,
sponsored by Pacific Coast Archaeological Society (PCAS), Costa Mesa,
California*
7:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time. Free.
Ancient genetics have transformed our understanding of the peopling
of the Americas, yet archaeological and paleoecological data have yet to be
fully integrated to produce more rigorous and realistic models. This talk
will bring together the most recent archaeogenetic data (most published
within the last few years) to bear on the archaeology of the far north. The
talk will highlight both the emerging consensus among these records as well
as important areas of disagreement on the origins and expansions of the
earliest Americans. Potential routes (coastal and interior) will be
evaluated based on current data. Dr. Ben A. Potter is Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

“Presidio District Tour – Why is Tucson the City It is Today” walking
tour with historian Ken Scoville, sponsored by the Presidio San Agustín del
Tucson Museum, beginning at the 1928 Pima County Courthouse, 115 N Church
Ave, Tucson*
10 am-12 pm. $30 ($20 Presidio Museum members).
Beginning at Tucson’s 1928 Pima County Courthouse, guide Ken Scoville
will discuss the archaeological efforts to find the Spanish presidio (fort),
two earlier courthouses built at this same location, and the beginning of
the burg now known as “the Old Pueblo.” El Presidio Historic District
provides many of the answers to why Tucson is the city it is today. Homes
constructed there responded to and later denied the desert environment. The
constant pressure for change and real estate speculation in a growing city
is also a part of the story as the infancy of historic districts established
the desire to preserve the buildings and landscape environment of an area
that connects to important past events and people in the community and
nation.

“Learning from the Grandmothers: The 2023 Traditional Technologies
Navajo Weaving Seminar to Washington, D.C.” free presentation by Diné
weavers Barbara Teller Ornelas, Lynda Teller Pete, Kevin Aspaas, Calandra
Cook, Elisio Curley, and TahNibaa Naataanii, sponsored by Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) in Environmental & Natural
Resources (ENR) Bldg. 2, Room 107 (ground-floor auditorium), 1064 E. Lowell
St., University of Arizona, Tucson*
7-8:30 pm. Free.
In October 2023 six Diné weavers traveled to Washington, D.C. for a
week to study historic and contemporary Navajo textiles at the National
Museum of the American Indian, National Museum of Natural History, and The
Textile Museum. Led and organized by master weavers and educators Barbara
Teller Ornelas and Lynda Teller Pete, the seminar group also included
emerging artists Kevin Aspaas, Calandra Cook, Elisio Curley, and TahNibaa
Naataanii. Sponsored by the AAHS Traditional Technologies program, the
seminar’s goals were to learn more about the yarns, dyes, and techniques
used to create the older weavings, experience the artistry and resiliency of
their weaving ancestors, create opportunities for artistic growth, and
expand Diné perspectives in Navajo weaving education, interpretation, and
scholarship. In this in-person presentation the participants will share
their experiences from the seminar with the AAHS membership. They will also
share examples of their weavings inspired by the research.

TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring
Equinox Tour to Los Morteros and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological
Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart departing from near Silverbell Rd. and
Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana, Arizona
8 am to noon. $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and
S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour
expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and
traditional cultures.
The 2024 vernal equinox occurs on Tuesday March 19, 2024 at 8:06 pm
Mountain Standard Time (Mar. 20, 3:06 am Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate
the equinox day (but not the exact time!) and explore ancient people's
recognition of equinoxes and other calendrical events, archaeologist Allen
Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s executive director) leads this tour to
Los Morteros, an ancient village site that includes a Hohokam ballcourt,
bedrock mortars, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks,
where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker,
dancing human-like figures, whimsical animals, and other rock symbols made
mostly Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar
petroglyph at the site exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of
sunlight on the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of
the actual celestial equinox, so participants in this tour will see that
sunlight interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the
sunlight.

“The Eyes of the Army: Indian Scouts and the Rise of Military
Innovation during the Apache Wars” free online presentation by Professor
Felicity Amaya Schaeffer, sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center,
Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
This talk explores the question: How has the US-Mexico border become
a militarized war zone replete with virtual walls and surveillance? Rather
than consider the migrant threat as key to this question, University of
California, Santa Cruz Professor Amaya Schaeffer goes back to the Southwest
Indian wars to consider how the control of Apache fugitives structured the
development of military innovations in surveillance. While Indian scouts
were dubbed “the eyes of the army,” Apache visionary practices with land had
the power to aid or disorient military control of the Southwest border
region. At the same time, Apache and other Native skills maneuvering the
land were tied to centuries of adaptations to all the forces of land that
she calls a “sacredscience.” Their animated vision and communication across
space constituted a powerful tie to land that was dangerous to
military-backed settler belonging. Early military innovations, such as the
heliograph and binoculars, were created to extend settler seeing in order to
track down, contain, and replace Apache fugitives in frontier regions
considered remote, wile, untamable, and hostile to the civilizational might
of settler presence.

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
the presentation “In Search of a Borderland: Archaeological Patterns of
Northwest Mexico and Neighbors” by archaeologist Matthew C. Pailes, PhD,
sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). Free.
In this presentation Matthew Pailes will review recent archaeological
research in Northwest Mexico, a region frequently invoked as a tierra
incognita in grand schemas of continental history. Was it the origin point
for major social movements? A source or destination of populations known
from the US Southwest? Or even more basically, is there continuity in
traditions from the US Southwest to Mesoamerica? Thanks to decades of work
by Mexican and international archaeologists we can now begin to place
Northwest Mexico in its rightful place in continental scale narratives. This
review will span the traditions of Northwest Mexico, focusing most on the
Sierra Madre Occidental. New data suggest this region presents a unique
story of persistent occupation for millennia, avoiding the boom and bust
political cycles of many neighbors and resisting incorporation into the
religious and political tumult that characterized much of the 1200 to 1400s
in the US Southwest. Dr. Pailes, Associate Professor of Anthropology,
University of Oklahoma, has done extensive archaeological research in
Sonora, Chihuahua, and Arizona.

“Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Glendale
Public Library Foothills Branch, 19055 N. 57th Ave., Glendale, Arizona;
cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
6:30-7:45 pm. Free.
The deep time perspective that archaeology and related disciplines
provide about natural hazards, environmental change, and human adaptation
not only is a valuable supplement to historical records, it sometimes
contradicts historical data used by modern societies to make decisions
affecting social sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from
scientific evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in
Arizona and the Southwest eventually surpassed their thresholds of
sustainability, leading to 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 evidence of prehistoric tsunamis? This
presentation looks at archaeological, geological, and
sustainable-agricultural 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. This program is made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

2:30-3:30 pm each day. 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.

TOUR FULL – WAITING LIST Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Garden
Canyon, Fort Huachuca, and Camp Naco Pictographs, Archaeology, and History”
tour with archaeologist Allen Dart and historic architect R. Brooks Jeffery,
starting at the Van Deman Gate Visitor Control Center, Hatfield St., Fort
Huachuca, Arizona
8:30 am to 3:30 pm. $55 donation per person ($45 for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old
Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
Located on the historic Fort Huachuca Army Post, the Garden Canyon
site is a precontact American Indian settlement near where the Mogollon,
Hohokam, and Trincheras archaeological cultures came together. Limited
excavations at this site revealed remnants of pithouses and above-ground
dwellings, funerary features, and pottery and other artifacts. Farther up
Garden Canyon, a few hundred feet above its floor, are rockshelters that
contain pictographs that may have been painted in the 1700s by Apaches. In
part 1 of this tour archaeologist Allen Dart, Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center’s Executive Director, will guide our visit to these sites and the
Fort Huachuca Museum, which focuses on the region’s military history. After
visiting Fort Huachuca, the tour group will take a lunch break then caravan
from Sierra Vista to Naco, Arizona to visit historic Camp Naco. This early
twentieth-century Buffalo Soldiers installation is now the target of a City
of Bisbee rehabilitation effort to explore a wide range of future uses that
commemorate history, expand cultural opportunities, and serve as a resource
for the communities of Naco and southern Cochise County. Tour participants
need to bring picnic lunch and water, wear sturdy hiking shoes, and be able

“Guided Tour to Eagle Cave, Skiles Shelter, and Kelley Cave” with
archaeologist Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research &
Education Center, meets at Judge Roy Bean Museum and Langtry Travel
Information Center, 526 State Loop 25, Langtry, Texas*
8 am-5 pm. $120.
Eagle Cave, Skiles Shelter, and Kelley Cave are large rockshelters
located within Eagle Nest Canyon in Langtry, Texas. Combined, all three
sites contain evidence of human occupation spanning over 10,000 years into
Paleoindian times. The rock art is predominantly Pecos River style with that
in Eagle Cave having recently returned radiocarbon dates between 3350 and
3210 years ago. Following the Eagle Nest Canyon tour is a chance to visit
the Judge Roy Bean Visitor’s Center to learn more about Langtry’s history as
well as a tour of Shumla’s research facility and laboratory in Comstock,
Texas.

“Guided Tour to Black Cave and Vaquero Shelter” with archaeologist
Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research & Education Center,
meets at Shumla Center, 28 Langtry St., Comstock, Texas*
8 am-3 pm. $120.
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.

“Ten Steps for Recording a Rock Art Site” workshop with
archaeologists and rock art researchers Larry Loendorf, Amanda Castaneda,
Laurie White, and Mark Willis sponsored by Sacred Sites Research
(Albuquerque) and the Society for American Archaeology Rock Art Interest
Group at the SAA Annual Meetings at the New Orleans Marriott and the
Sheraton New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana*
10 am-5 pm. $20 per person.
Material covered in this workshop includes up-to-date methods and
techniques for recording pictograph and petroglyph sites, like use of
DStretch image enhancement software, constructing 3D models with Structure
from Motion, portable XRF, dating procedures, and drone mapping. Important
parts of the workshop will include the use of software like Photoshop on
drawing tablets to obtain finished panel drawings, and use of a total site
approach to search for tools used to make the rock imagery and look for
associated psychotropic plants like tobacco, datura, and others.
Participants will be taught to look for sun/solar interactions, acoustics,
and viewshed, much of the knowledge of which comes from working with Native
Americans on-site during the recording process. The instructors have
recorded rock image sites for dozens of years, including the Crow Tribal
Historic Preservation Officer Aaron Brien, who will offer his thoughts
through the workshop.

“How We Reveal the Paint Sequence of Pecos River Style Murals” free
Lunch and Learn presentation by David Keim, MA, sponsored by Shumla
Archaeological Research & Education Center, Comstock, Texas*
12 pm Central Standard Time. Free.
You’ve heard us say over and over that nothing in Pecos River Style
art is random. But how do we know? How do we know the artists, whether 5,000
years ago or 2,000 years ago, followed the same rules about how the murals
should be painted? In this Lunch and Learn, David will tell how a portable
microscope and a sophisticated diagram software have led to some of Shumla’s
most exciting discoveries.

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
the presentation “Interaction on the Northern Mogollon Frontier:
Perspectives from the Cañada Alamosa” by archaeologist Karl W. Laumbach,
sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). Free.
The Cañada Alamosa is a spring-fed canyon located on the northeastern
edge of the Mimbres Mogollon world. The Ojo Caliente or Warm Spring supplies
2,000 gallons per minute, ensuring a perennial flow to the Rio Alamosa as it
flows to the Rio Grande. Separated by 50 miles and the imposing Black Range
from the Mimbres Mogollon cultural center, the canyon’s well-watered
position on a “zone of interaction” between the Mogollon and Ancestral
Pueblo peoples resulted in a unique cultural sequence from the pithouse
period up to the abandonment of the canyon in the 14th century, reflecting a
variety of local interactions as well as changes in their respective
centers. Karl Laumbach’s archaeological career in southern New Mexico since
1974 included direction of the Human Systems Research nonprofit
organization’s Cañada Alamosa project.
