CANCELLATION NOTICE: Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Canyon de
Chelly Archaeology and Cultures” educational tour that was scheduled for
October 18- 21, 2013, has been CANCELLED due to the federal government
shutdown.
RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 9 for the October
13-November 24 (Sundays) “Traditional Pottery Making Level 1 Workshop” with
Andy Ward at Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, 2201 W. 44th Street, just west
of La Cholla Blvd., ½-mile north of John F. Kennedy Park, Tucson
2 to 5 p.m. each Sunday. Fee $79; $63.20 for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; includes all
materials except clay, which participants will collect during class field
trip
A series of seven pottery-making class sessions will be offered
by artist Andy Ward on seven Sunday afternoons October 13 through November
24, 2013, including a clay-gathering field trip on October 20. The class is
designed to help modern people understand how prehistoric Native Americans
made and used pottery, and is not intended to train students how to make
artwork for sale. The Level 1 class demonstrates traditional hand-building
pottery techniques using gourd scrapers, mineral paints, and yucca brushes
instead of modern potters’ wheels and paint. The course introduces some
history of southwestern Ancestral and Modern Pueblo, Mogollon, and Hohokam
pottery-making, includes a field trip in which participants dig their own
clay, and demonstrates initial steps in forming, shaping and smoothing, and
completion of bowls, jars, canteens, ladles, and rattles of both smooth and
corrugated pottery, by scraping, polishing, sanding, slipping and painting.
The paddle-and-anvil hand-building method is also demonstrated.
Reservations required by October 9, 2013: 520-798-1201 or

RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 16 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner & presentation: “Does Deep
History Matter” with archaeologist Dr. John A. Ware at Karichimaka Mexican
Restaurant, 5252 S. Mission Rd., Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the
restaurant’s menu)
For ninety-nine percent of the time humans have been wandering
the globe – and we are inveterate roamers – there was no written history.
Literate peoples tend to think that nothing remarkable happened during
humanity's long shuffling ‘prehistory,’ and that whatever happened in our
remote past has little bearing on contemporary issues, problems, and
prospects. Archaeologist John Ware, the director of the Amerind Foundation
in southeastern Arizona, will try to convince you in this presentation that
the ‘scribbling classes’ may have gotten it all wrong.
Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is
anthropologist and archaeologist Dr. John Ware, the executive director of
the Amerind Foundation in Dragoon, Arizona.
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. Because seating is limited in
order for the program to be in compliance with the Fire Code, those wishing
to attend must call 520-798-1201 and must have their reservations confirmed
before 5 p.m. Wednesday October 16.
