“Winter Stories” presentation by Phoenix Indian Center Cultural
Specialist Freddie Johnson at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological
Park, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
7:30 to 9 p.m. Free; PGMA and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members get
free admission to the Museum for PGMA events
For many generations, the Diné have celebrated the arrival of winter with
storytelling, games and traditional ceremonies which are only held in the
winter, after the first snow has fallen on the Navajo reservation. One
type of story told is Coyote stories. The Coyote stories are about the
trickster Coyote who plays tricks on the neighboring animals to get their
attention; he is a character who doesn't listen to the wiser and older
animals. The Coyote stories are hilarious to tell and watch, teaching
moral principles to young people about self-respect. Raised for the
majority of his life in Rock Point, Arizona, on the Navajo Indian
Reservation, Johnson moved to Phoenix as an adult and has focused his
energy on sharing the time-honored knowledge given to him by his
grandparents. By sharing the knowledge learned at his grandparents' knees
with those living in the city, Johnson helps to bridge cultures and
generations through an understanding of Navajo language and culture.
During his tenure with the Phoenix Indian Center, Johnson has developed a
series of language classes, created seasonal story programs focusing on
traditions, and hosted cultural events that foster intergenerational
experiences and growth.

“Archaeology’s Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at the
Copper Queen Library, 6 Main St., Bisbee, Arizona. Cosponsored by the
Arizona Humanities Council.
5:30-6:30 p.m. Free
The deep time perspective that archaeology provides on natural hazards,
environmental change, and human adaptation not only is a valuable
supplement to historical records, it sometimes contradicts historical
data that modern societies use to make decisions affecting social
sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from archaeological
evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in Arizona and
the Southwest eventually reach a threshold of unsustainability, which
probably was a factor in the ultimate 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 prehistoric
archaeological evidence of tsunamis? This presentation looks at some of
the archaeological 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. Funding for program
provided by the Arizona Humanities Council.
No reservations needed. For meeting details contact Liz Hampton-Derivan

Thursday January 17, 2013
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “Tree-rings, Documents, and Oral History along Cebolla
Creek, New Mexico” with archaeologist Ronald H. Towner, Ph.D. at Mimi's
Café, 120 S. Wilmot Rd. (at Broadway Blvd.), Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
The Cebolla Creek area of west-central New Mexico is an isolated area of
lava flows, pinyon-juniper forests, and flat valley bottoms that is part
of the El Malpais National Conservation Area. Completely depopulated
today, in the early 20th century the area was home to Navajo, Hispanic,
and Anglo populations who hunted, gathered, and farmed the canyon’s
resources. Research over the past five years has illuminated aspects of
interaction and land use by these groups during a critical time in
southwestern history. In this month’s Third Thursday presentation our
speaker will discuss heretofore unknown, early 20th century Navajo sites
and the Sue Savage Homestead (LA 74544), a complex of more than 25
archaeological structures and features occupied by a widow and her
children during the Great Depression. The presentation will show how
tree-ring data, historical documents, and oral histories illuminate the
hardscrabble life of Depression-era occupants of the Southwest, place the
occupations in their proper environmental and social contexts, and
suggest how archaeologists can use the Cebolla Creek project’s
information and interpretations for estimating length of occupations and
for comparing different data types.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program, Ron Towner,
is an Associate Professor at the University of Arizona and an expert in
dendroarchaeology and Early Navajo period archaeology.
Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s
menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit
Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. The restaurant needs advance notice to
schedule staff and must limit seating to comply with the fire code, so
reservations are due by 5 p.m. Wednesday January 16. 520-798-1201 or

“University Indian Ruin: Changing Views of the Late Hohokam Classic
Period in the Tucson Basin” free presentation by archaeologists Suzannne
K. Fish, Paul R. Fish, and Mark D. Elson for Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society monthly meeting at University of Arizona Medical
Center's Duval Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson
7:30-9 p.m. Free
The Fishes and Elson will discuss ongoing research conducted by The
University of Arizona School of Anthropology’s archaeological field
school at the University Indian Ruin, which has heightened appreciation
of Hohokam architectural complexity in the Tucson Basin during a time of
population movement, aggregation, and accelerated cultural change.
Differential acquisition of polychrome types, distant obsidian, exotic
chert, consumption of bison, and late Prehispanic pottery of Zuni and
probable Sonoran origins provide new insight into Classic period regional
interaction as well.

by archaeologist Allen Dart for the Friends of the Library at Parker
Public Library, 1001 Navajo Ave., Parker, Arizona. Cosponsored by the
Arizona Humanities Council.*
1-2 p.m. Free
Native Americans in the Southwest developed sophisticated skills in
astronomy and predicting the seasons, centuries before Old World peoples
first entered the region. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart
discusses historically known sky-watching practices of various
southwestern peoples, and how their ancestors’ observations of the
heavens may have been commemorated in ancient architecture and rock
symbols. The program illustrates cardinal, solstice, and equinox
alignments and possible calendrical reckoning features at such places as
Arizona’s Casa Grande Ruins and Picture Rocks petroglyphs sites, New
Mexico’s Chaco Canyon archaeological district, the Hovenweep area of
Utah, and the Mesa Verde and Chimney Rock regions of Colorado. Mr. Dart
also offers interpretation of how these discoveries may relate to ancient
Native American ritual. Funding for program provided by the Arizona
Humanities Council.

evolution as a game and as a part of community life, using photos taken
during the 19th century and early 20th centuries of players and teams in

In this four-session class on Tuesday evenings, Mr. Allen Dart, a
Registered Professional Archaeologist and volunteer director of the Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center in Tucson, will provide information about the
archaeology and cultures of Arizona and the Southwest, focusing on the
arts and material culture of southern Arizona’s prehistoric peoples.
The first session, "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 later prehistoric archaeological cultures
(Puebloan, Mogollon, Sinagua, Hohokam, Salado, and Patayan). Mr. Dart
also will relate the archaeological cultures to the Native American,
European, Mexican, African, and Asian peoples who have been part of our
state’s more recent history.
In Session 2, "Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam
Indians," artifacts, architecture, and other material culture of southern
Arizona’s ancient Hohokam culture are illustrated and discussed. The arts
and culture that 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.
Session 3, "Ancient Native American Pottery of Southern Arizona," focuses
on some of the Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific
eras in southern Arizona prehistory and history, and discusses 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.
Finally, in Session 4, "Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern
Indian Rock Art," Mr. Dart illustrates pictographs (rock paintings) and
petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) found in the Southwest,
and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted
differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native American
perspectives.

“Rock Art Conservation Efforts in the Gila River Indian Community”
presentation by Chris Loendorf and Barnaby V. Lewis, sponsored by the
nonprofit Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum
and Archaeological Park, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
7:30 to 9 p.m. Free; PGMA and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members get
free admission to the Museum for PGMA events
The Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Cultural Research Management
Program (CRMP) is actively involved in the protection and management of
the many rock art sites within the community. This presentation
summarizes the results of a recent study of livestock brand petroglyphs
and pictographs in the GRIC that were done in a similar style to
prehistoric Hohokam images in the area. This study documented evidence
for previously unrecognized animal husbandry practices, as well as long
term continuity in cultural traditions from the prehistoric to the
historic periods. An Energy Dispersive X-Ray Florescence (EDXRF) study of
pictographs from Picture Cave in Fort Bliss, Texas is also described.
This analysis documented variation in pigments that may be associated
with different episodes of painting at the site. Chris Loendorf is a
Project Manager for the GRIC CRMP. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. at
Arizona State University, and his B.A. at the University of Montana. He
has worked on all stages of cultural resource management projects in a
wide variety of locations from the Southwest to the Northern Plains. He
has studied Hohokam archaeology since coming to Arizona in 1989, and
began his career as a professional archaeologist in 1981. Barnaby V.
Lewis has been the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) for the
Gila River Indian Community since February 2009. He was previously the
Cultural Resource Specialist for 10 years with the GRIC CRMP. THPO
consults with federal and state agencies concerning matters of religious
and cultural significance regarding historic properties. Mr. Lewis
supervises all aspects of cultural resource consultation in connection
with federal, state, and tribal laws including the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act.

Whalen have directed in the Casa Grandes region since 1989. He will
discuss the size and character of Paquimé, its regional organization, and
its relationships with other ancient communities in the U.S. Southwest
and northwestern Mexico.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Paul
Minnis, a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma whose
archaeological research has focused on the New Mexico Mimbres and
northwestern Chihuahua-Casas Grandes regions.
Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s
menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit
Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. The restaurant needs advance notice to

Tularosa, NM, and 28 miles south of Carrizozo, NM on US 54; and ending at
a site northwest of Lordsburg, NM.
1 p.m. MST Friday to 4 p.m. MDT Wednesday (Daylight Saving Time goes into
effect Sunday morning at 2 a.m.) Fee $395 for the full six days of

El Paso-area rock-art site guides Glenn Omundson and Bob White team up
with archaeologists Marc Thompson, Ph.D. (Director Emeritus, El Paso
Museum of Archaeology) and Allen Dart, RPA (tour coordinator; Executive
Director, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, Tucson) to lead this six-day
tour to twelve of the most spectacular prehistoric and historical
petroglyph and pictograph sites in southern New Mexico and West Texas.
ALL sites to be visited have multiple hundreds of rock art elements.
Tentative schedule is as follows:
• Friday March 1, Marc will guide us to the famous Three Rivers site near
Tularosa, NM, where more than 25,000 petroglyphs have been recorded.
• Saturday March 2, Centipede Cave petroglyphs and pictographs, Little
Cunningham Tank petroglyphs (and maybe the site’s four pictographs), and
the Mullen site petroglyphs with Glenn.
• Sunday March 3, 6-hour tour to Hueco Tanks State Park (90+% pictographs,
less than 10% petroglyphs) with Bob.
• Monday March 4, Alamo Mountain petroglyphs with Glenn.
• Tuesday March 5, Jaguar Cave petroglyphs and pictographs, Story Teller
Panel petroglyphs, and a great Archaic period petroglyphs site with Glenn.
• Wednesday March 6 (last day), Glenn leads us to the Archaic and Jornada
culture petroglyphs and trincheras features on Canador Peak, and to the
petroglyphs and pictographs in Cottonwood Canyon and the Lower Gila Box
petroglyphs northwest of Lordsburg, NM.
The tour will be based in El Paso Friday (Day 1) through Tuesday (Day 5)
nights and will depart from a hotel there each morning on Days 2-6. On

Hotels, camping, and other accommodations (to be arranged individually by
the tour registrants) are available in and near El Paso and Lordsburg.
Although some sites on Days 1 and 3-5 are accessible in regular cars,
high-clearance vehicles (HCVs) and 4-wheel-drive are highly recommended.
HCVs are essential (4WD highly recommended) for Days 2 and 6, so anyone
without HCVs can tour on those days only if the registrants who do have
the HCVs can take extra riders.
Most of the rock art is accessible via foot trails, but there will be
some bush-whacking and boulder-hopping. Bring your own picnic lunch and
water each day, and wear comfortable hiking shoes.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “The Zuni Region across the Lost Century: AD 1450-1540”
with archaeologist Matt Peeples, Ph.D., at Cody's Beef ‘N Beans
Steakhouse, 2708 E. Fort Lowell Rd., Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
The period between A.D. 1450 and the arrival of Coronado in 1540 has
often been depicted as a “lost century” in the Southwest. During this
period, most of the region saw a substantial decline in population, large
scale population movements, and rapid changes in the organization of the
communities that remained. The Zuni region of west-central New Mexico is
one of only a few places in the northern Southwest where large
agricultural villages that were first constructed during the late
prehistoric period continued to be occupied through the “lost century”
and into the historic period. The construction of the latest prehistoric
Zuni towns in the late 14th and early 15th centuries was accompanied by
major changes in architecture, cooking technology, ceramic design, and
burial practices. These changes suggest the Zuni region was a destination
for migrants from some of the areas to the south that were emptying out
at this time. In this month’s presentation our guest speaker will
summarize several lines of archaeological and biological evidence to
explore the origins, timing, and consequences of immigration into the
Zuni region, and the establishment of the communities encountered by the
Spanish explorers de Niza and Coronado at contact.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Matt
Peeples, an archaeologist specializing in the Zuni-Cibola and Mimbres
regions of the U.S. Southwest.
Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s
menu. There is no entry fee but donations will be requested to benefit
Old Pueblo’s educational efforts. The restaurant needs advance notice to
schedule staff and must limit seating to comply with the fire code, so

knowledge. Featured opening ceremonies speaker is Dr. Jean Clottes, Past
