UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
 
Saturday September 3, 2022: Comstock, TX
        “Guided Tour to Halo Shelter and the Devils River” with
archaeologist Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research &
Education Center (Shumla) starting at Shumla, 28 Langtry St., Comstock,
Texas*
        8 am-6 pm. $160.
        Halo Shelter sits within a small tributary of Dead Man’s Creek on a
private ranch in Val Verde County. Halo boasts one of the best-preserved
Pecos River Style pictograph panels in the region. The site gets its name
from a unique motif of rayed lines extending from an arch over the top of
several figures’ heads. The Devils River is one of the last wild rivers in
Texas and a haven for adventurers. Access to this spring-fed river is
extremely limited and is one of the reasons why this river has remained one
of Texas’ most protected treasures.
        * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. To register go

Sunday September 4, 2022: Comstock, TX
        “Guided Tour to Painted Shelter and Shumla HQ” with archaeologist
Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research & Education Center
(Shumla), starting at Shumla, 28 Langtry St., Comstock, Texas*
        8 am-1 pm. $80.
        Painted Shelter is located in an unnamed tributary canyon of the Rio
Grande on private property. Shumla will access this site with permission
from the landowner. A spring-fed stream runs in front of the rock art panel
and creates several long pools through the site. Major flash flood events
have washed out most of the archaeological deposits, but there is a remnant
burned rock midden and lithic scatter on the bedrock benches in front of the
shelter. Painted Shelter is home to the best-preserved examples of the Red
Monochrome style rock art, as well as remnant Pecos River Style murals.

Thursday September 8, 2022: Online
        “Indigenous Knowledge: Shifting Narrative, Enhancing Documentation,
and Changing Policy in Museum Collections” free online presentation by Brian
Vallo (Acoma), sponsored by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez,
Colorado*
        4 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged). 
        Collaborative projects and longer-term partnerships with Native
American communities are setting a new tone for the ways in which museums
learn from, and engage with, tribal experts, tribal leaders, and
communities. This “movement” is influencing much anticipated and overdue
change in the ways in which museums steward collections of Native American
materials and develop meaningful, mutually-rewarding projects, programs, and
exhibitions. Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, cultural experts, tribal
leaders, artists, scholars, and other tribal resources are finding
themselves at the forefront in discussions that are influencing new thought
and change in museum practice. The presentation will highlight two
significant projects, Chicago’s Field Museum and the Fine Arts Museums of
San Francisco – de Young, who are providing opportunities for long-term
collaboration with Native people. Brian Vallo, a member of the Pueblo of
Acoma tribe in New Mexico, has 30 years of  experience working in areas of
museum development, cultural resources management, historic preservation,
the arts, and tourism.

Thursday September 8, 2022: Saddlebrooke, AZ
        “Paper Sons: Tales of Chain Migration in Tucson” free presentation
with Li Yang sponsored by Friends of the SaddleBrooke Libraries and Arizona
Humanities at Desertview Theater, 39900 Clubhouse Dr., Saddlebrooke, AZ*
        4-5 pm. Free.
        A “paper son” is a term used for young Chinese immigrants coming to
the United States prior to 1943 who claimed to be a son of a citizen but
were, in fact, sons on paper only. In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was
passed to curb Chinese immigration to the U.S. The passage of this federal
law and many other legislations subsequently ushered in a long period in the
U.S. history when the Chinese were systematically and severely restricted
from entering the country and excluded from becoming naturalized citizens.
To counter these unjust, discriminatory legislations, the Chinese created
ingenious ways of bringing in their close kin, clan relatives or even fellow
villagers. Using false identities and claiming to be sons of American
citizens of Chinese ancestry was one of the most widely adopted immigration
strategies. But such processes were long, complex and painful and had
enduring negative effects on the lives and psyches of the immigrants
involved, as revealed by the stories of the paper sons among the Gin clan in
Tucson’s Chinese community.

Friday September 9, 2022: Flagstaff
        “AAC Fall Conference” sponsored by the Arizona Archaeological
Council at du Bois South Union, Northern Arizona University (NAU), 306 E.
Pine Knoll Dr., Flagstaff*
        9 am-4 pm. Registration fee TBA.
        This year’s AAC fall conference, which is free to the public,
focuses on the theme “Best Practices and Ethical Approaches to Arizona’s
Archaeology.” Archaeologists have long focused on developing better
approaches to the methodology and interpretive frameworks of their
discipline, and Arizona archaeologists have strived to be at the forefront
of such advances. This year’s conference will focus on ethical approaches to
archaeology and the protection and preservation of cultural resources in a
multiperspective and inclusive space, including addressing issues of sexual
harassment, racial and social injustice, and gender equality as well as
confronting archaeology’s colonial legacy as a discipline. The conference
will conclude with a panel discussion “Managing the Future: Training,
Opportunities, and Directions in Arizona Archaeology.”

September 10, October 8, November 12, or 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 dates
September 10 and November 12; Bell County Museum dates October 8 and
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.

Saturday September 10, 2022: Chandler, AZ
        “Miners, Cowboys and Washerwomen: The  Worksongs of Arizona” free
presentation with Jay Craváth at the Phippen Museum, 4701 U.S. Hwy 89N,
Prescott, AZ, cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
        1-2:30 pm. Free.
        In a narrative and musical portrait of working-class music, Dr. Jay
Craváth explores its roots and rhythms in Arizona. From Hopi basket songs,
the Yavapai acorn gathering songs, to the cotton fields of Chandler and the
crooked streets of Jerome, songs were companions to the immigrants who
explored and built our state. Through performance and discussion, these
tales, which reveal so much of the nature and character of a people, are
explored. Jay Craváth is a composer, writer and scholar in the field of
music, humanities and Indigenous studies. This program is made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

Sunday-Friday September 11-16, 2022: Near Nederland, CO
        “Hessie Cabin, CO 2022” HistoriCorps and Arapaho-Roosevelt National
Forest offer volunteer-assisted rehabilitation and repair project near
Nederland, Colorado*
        Arrive Sunday evening; daylight hours daily thereafter. No fees. 
        The small gold-mining camp town of Hessie grew up between 1895 and
1905, supported about 80 residents, and had several stores, a schoolhouse, a
boarding house, a sawmill, and residences at its peak. Kennewick Cabin is
one of the few standing residential structures left there from Boulder
County’s mining history. It is an excellent example of the type of cabin
that Front Range miners lived and worked in during the 19th century.
Volunteers will help rebuild the cabin’s interior floor system, perform
interior and exterior wood chinking and lime mortar daubing, interior
painting, rehabilitate windows and door, install wood burning stove and
stovepipe through metal roof, and perform miscellaneous carpentry repairs.
Tents, truck campers, campervans, and RVs/trailers can access this campsite
but there are no hookups and RV spacing may be tight. Potable water and
restrooms will be available. High clearance vehicles are recommended. No
dogs. 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 (no sneakers/light
hikers).

Historical Foundation offer volunteer-assisted rehabilitation and repair
project just outside Aspen, Colorado*
        Arrive between 5 and 7 pm Sunday; daylight hours daily thereafter.
No fees. 
        Lack of public funding has allowed structures on this 60-acre site
at 8,000 ft elevation to deteriorate to a state of near oblivion.
HistoriCorps volunteers will excavate sill timbers, pour concrete footers
and infill with local field stones, perform a frame repair and replacement
to sill timbers, wall studs, and roof system, replace the corrugated metal
roof, execute wooden siding repair and replacement, apply exterior
weathering solutions to siding and metal roofing, and more. 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 (no sneakers/light hikers). Tent

        This two-hour minicourse taught by Arizona State Museum historian
Dr. Michael Brescia provides a sweeping conceptual framework for
understanding Indigenous resistance under Spanish colonialism. Invoking an
all-powerful deity to effect radical changes in the social and political
order has deep roots in the Indigenous experience under Spanish rule.
Efforts to restore or revitalize cultural identity and promote economic
security cut across Mexico’s geography and reveal the extent to which
religious understandings of material well-being intersected and conflicted
with established political power, economic systems, and accepted social
norms. Arizona State Museum historian Michael Brescia identifies case
studies from Mexico’s colonial period (1521-1810) to illustrate how
Indigenous communities filtered their lived experiences through a religious
and material framework in an effort to make sense of the challenges and
burdens of Spanish colonialism, and how some of them revolted against
colonial rule.

Thursday September 15, 2022: Online
(An Encore from March 17)
        Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free Zoom online program featuring “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?”
presentation by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles, Jr.
        7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific
Daylight Time). Free.
        “Sinagua” is the name first coined in 1939 to refer to the
pre-European people who inhabited the Flagstaff region of north-central
Arizona. But what, exactly, does this mean? Does Sinagua refer to a
geographic area, a specific kind of pottery, an actual grouping of people,
or is it something else? These are difficult questions this presentation
will attempt to explore. The Sinagua archaeological area of Arizona has been
considered a cultural “frontier,” characterized as a blend of other
cultures, yet unique enough to warrant its own cultural designation.
However, over the years, this uniqueness dissolved as old interpretations
were no longer satisfactorily explaining what archaeologists were finding.
By the 1960s, new areas of study and new explanatory models were developed.
However, these paradigm shifts have failed to satisfactorily answer the
questions posed by past interpretations. These shifts beg the major
questions: Who were the Sinagua, how do they fit into the “Big Picture” of
Southwest prehistory, and what happened to the culture? In order to bring
closure to these questions, archaeologists need to explain how past
questions have been . . . not exactly the wrong questions, but they need to
be re-fitted and examined under a different lens, focused by degrees of
scale. This presentation will attempt to illustrate these different
approaches, as well as to demonstrate that the concept of “Sinagua” is both
fact AND fiction.
        Archaeologist Peter Pilles has studied the Southwest’s Sinagua
archaeological culture for decades. In this presentation (rescheduled from
March 17 when he was unable to share his PowerPoint file) he will give an
overview of Sinagua and how it related to the surrounding, contemporary
Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Pueblo, and Patayan cultures.

Fridays September 16-October 14, 2022: Online
        “Archaeology, Cultures, and Ancient Arts of Southern Arizona”
five-session online adult education class with archaeologist Allen Dart via
Zoom for University of Arizona’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)*
        3-4:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight
Time). OLLI Greater Tucson (NW, SE) and Green Valley membership fee of $150
for Monsoon/Fall Semester (7/1/2021 to 12/31/2021) classes or $200 for full
year (July-June) allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses.
        This online class will cover four main topics:
        1) “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 Formative period Puebloan, Mogollon, Sinagua, Hohokam, Salado, and
Patayan archaeological cultures and their relationships to Arizona’s
historical Native American peoples, to provide context for the
archaeological cultures of southern Arizona.
        2) “Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians”
will focus on artifacts, architecture, and other material culture of
southern Arizona’s Hohokam culture. Items 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.
        3) “Ancient Native American Pottery of Southern Arizona” will
provide details about Native American ceramic styles that characterized
specific eras in southern Arizona precontact and postcontact eras. The
instructor will discuss 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.
        4) “Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art”
features illustrations of southwestern US pictographs (rock paintings) and
petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) and discussion of how
specific rock art symbols are interpreted differently from popular,
scientific, and modern Native American perspectives.
        Instructor Allen Dart, a Registered Professional Archaeologist, is
the executive director of Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center.

        “Re-viewing the Dishes: Considering the Place of Salado Polychrome
Ceramics in the Phoenix Basin” free online presentation by Caitlin Wichlacz,
sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
        7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
        How were Salado Polychrome (Roosevelt Red Ware) ceramics
incorporated into Phoenix basin Hohokam ceramic assemblages during the late
Classic period? Understanding the roles and relations of Salado pottery
within local assemblages is important to building a better understanding of
the social and material meanings of engagement with Salado ideas, objects,
and practices. As simple as the idea may seem, situating Salado pottery in
assemblage contexts proves to be quite challenging, and for a variety of
surprising and illuminating reasons. This presentation explores a portion of
Caitlin Wichlacz’s current research on vessel form analysis and explores
what can be learned about archaeological research and the archaeological
record by carefully examining both the data and challenges along the way.

        “The Great Cave Murals of Baja California” free virtual field trip
with archaeologist Kirk Astroth sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
        11 am-12:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
        In forbidding terrain of the Baja California sierras there are
thousands of brilliantly painted pictographs and deeply etched petroglyphs
that have survived for centuries in remote caves and shelters. Designated a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, the more than 80 caves with rock images
are hard to get to and some are off-limits to tourists. This virtual field
trip follows the tour leader’s March 2022 participation in a rigorous mule
trip into these canyons and arroyos to see a small fraction of the ancient
images. This presentation will highlight portions of this incredible 20+
kilometer trip to see amazing pictographs that the Mexican National
Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) dates to 10,000+ years. Some of
the larger-than-life pictographs painted on cave ceilings and walls depict
anthropomorphs more than 7-8 feet tall plus whales, turtles, manta rays,
fish, eagles, deer, bighorns. Tour leader Kirk Astroth is a Registered
Professional Archaeologist and graduate of the University of Arizona
Master’s program.

        Mesoamerican codices are documents created by Maya, Aztec, and other
Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America before and after the
Spanish conquest. The codex tradition provided Indigenous peoples with a
voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking place all around them. In
this Old Pueblo course, Arizona State Museum ethnohistorian Dr. Michael
Brescia examines the manuscript culture of ancient Mexico and what the
codices reveal about the political, economic, social, and cultural rhythms
of daily life for the Maya and Aztec societies of Mesoamerica. He will tease
out multiple dimensions of pre-Columbian Maya society as manifested in
codices such as the Dresden Codex and the Grolier Codex, the latter having
only been authenticated by scholars in 2018.  He will discuss links between
the Maya codices and scholarly efforts to crack the so-called Maya code (a
hieroglyphic writing system), and the changes and continuities in Aztec
(Mexica) society that are revealed in several codices and writings produced
just before and right after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec confederation
in 1521.

        “Silver Linings: Adaptation and Sustainability” is the them of this
year’s NMAM conference, in response to conditions of the past three years:
geopolitical unrest, an endemic virus, a looming recession, and raging
wildfires. Where can we find silver linings from these situations to adapt
and sustain New Mexico’s cultural landscape? In what ways have external
events shaped organizational culture, remote work, virtual fundraising,
audience engagement, and crisis management and how can we continue to adapt
our practices and move toward increased sustainability? The focus will be to
find the benefits of these situations and share best practices about what we
have learned over the last few tumultuous years in order to move toward
sustainability. Conference includes workshops, presentation sessions, and
poster sessions.

        Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Central Arizona Tradition
Archaeological Sites Tour” guided by archaeologist J. Scott Wood starting at
Goat Camp Ruin in Payson, Arizona
        12-4 pm. $40 donation ($32 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and
Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) includes Old Pueblo’s expenses and
access to sites but no transportation, lodging, or meals. 
        Scott Wood leads Old Pueblo’s car-caravan tour to archaeological
sites of the Central Arizona Tradition (CAT). What is that? It’s a name that
archaeologists Peter Pilles and Scott Wood gave to a cultural lifeway that
developed around 300 CE in central Arizona just north of the Salt River
valley. The CAT was characterized by small wickiup-like pithouses, some
larger bean-shaped houses, and plain brown paddle-and-anvil-made pottery,
without any locally made decorated ceramics. The CAT lasted until about 500
CE when people in most parts of the area began to be assimilated into the
Hohokam, Mogollon-Pueblo, and Sinagua cultures that developed all around
central Arizona. Scott will show us two CAT archaeological sites: Goat Camp
Ruin, where he has been leading excavations since 2008, and Shoofly Village,
where Arizona State University conducted excavations in the mid-1980s.
Payson offers numerous restaurant and lodging options. Participants provide
their own lodging, meals, and transportation. Directions to the meeting
place will be provided to persons who have made reservations.

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.

Saturdays October 15, 22, 29, & November 5 & 12, 2022: Tucson
        “Culture and Identity” Master Class taught by Suzanne L. Eckert,
PhD, at the Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of Arizona, 1013 E.
University Blvd., Tucson*
        10 am-12 pm each Saturday. $200 (ASM members $170). Credit card
payments incur a 3% fee. Free campus parking.
        Identity plays an important role in modern cultures, societies,
politics, and economies, and has been a powerful instrument for constructing
and reflecting culture since the beginning of humanity. Who we are, how we
identify with our own social groups, our attitudes to other cultures, are
all interconnected with the values placed upon us by ourselves and others.
This five-part, in-person Master Class uses archaeological examples from
across time and space to investigate identity: its complex nature and
performance, the politics and economics surrounding identity, how
individuals hold multiple contradictory identities, how societies use
identity to enforce cultural norms, and how individuals use it to rebel
against societal norms. Dr. Suzanne L. Eckert is Head of Collections and
Associate Curator of Archaeology at ASM and Associate Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Arizona. 
        * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. Limited to 10

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.

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

Thursday December 15, 2022: Online
        “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.

Seven Saturdays January 21-April 22, 2022: Tucson
        “Rock Imagery Inventory and Documentation” seven-session adult
education course with 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 the 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.
        Prerequisite to enroll in this course is successful completion of
either the AAS “Archaeology of the Southwest” or “Advanced Southwest
Archaeology – Hohokam” class or equivalent training approved by Dr. Wright. 
        Reservations and prepayment are due 10 days after reservation
request or by 5 pm Friday January 13, whichever is earlier. To register or
