Thursday November 17, 2011
	Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “Soil Changes in Ancient Agricultural Systems of the
American Southwest” with archaeologist Jeffrey Homburg, at [restaurant to
be announced], Tucson
	6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
	Although numerous southwestern archaeological studies have focused on
irrigation canals, the soils that were irrigated with those canals have
received far less attention. Soil studies of irrigation systems along the
Gila and Santa Cruz rivers of Arizona now underway will help fill this
research gap. In this presentation our guest speaker will discuss
archaeological traces of ancient agricultural field systems that persist
and remain intact, allowing archaeologists to recognize that soil changes
are highly variable, ranging from degradation to minimal net change to
enhanced soil quality.
	Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program is Jeffrey A.
Homburg, Ph.D., Director of Geosciences for the Tucson-based Statistical
Research cultural resource management company.
	Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s
general 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 November 16.

Thursday December 15, 2011
	Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “Patterns of Violence: Archaeological Migration and Trade
through New Mexico’s Gallina Heartland” with archaeologist Lewis Borck,
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)
	Previous research into the Gallina archaeological culture of northern New
Mexico has revealed significant evidence of violence and massacres, and
has focused on the area's apparent “material disconnect” from adjacent
prehistoric groups. While the Gallina certainly embody a unique, near
enigmatic, cultural development within the northern Southwest, it is only
by understanding them in relation to their neighbors that archaeologists
can begin to recognize how the Gallina people affected, and were affected
by, larger regional occurrences. Specifically, patterns of violence in
the Gallina district indicate movement of people through the landscape of
northern New Mexico. The Gallina exemplify why archaeologists need to
understand peripheral groups in the American Southwest to more fully
explain the past.
	Old Pueblo’s guest speaker for this “dinner-format” program, Lewis Borck,
studies issues relating to frontiers, premodern warfare and conflict, and
peripheral groups represented in the prehistoric archaeology of the
American Southwest.. He has been working in the Southwest for the past
six years and has excavated from Chaco Canyon to the Tucson Basin.
	Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s
general 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 December 14.

	“Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” free
presentation by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's director, archaeologist
Allen Dart, for Agua Fria Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at
Glendale Public Library, 5959 W. Brown St., Glendale, Arizona;
Cosponsored by Arizona Humanities Council
	6-7 p.m. Free
	The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona from
the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts, architecture,
and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for
identifying where the Hohokam lived, for interpreting how they adapted to
the Sonoran Desert for centuries, and explaining why the Hohokam culture
mysteriously disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart
illustrates the material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible
interpretations about their relationships to the natural world, their
time reckoning, religious practices, beliefs, and deities, and possible
reasons for the eventual demise of their way of life. The program
features slides of Hohokam artifacts, rock art, and other cultural
features, a display of authentic prehistoric artifacts, and recommended
readings for more information about the Hohokam. Funding for program
provided by the Arizona Humanities Council.

	“Ancient Native American Pottery of Southern Arizona” free presentation
by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's director, archaeologist Allen Dart,
for San Tan Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at Queen Creek
Museum (southwest corner of Ellsworth and Queen Creek Roads) in Queen
Creek Arizona. Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities Council.
	7-8:30 p.m. Free
	Using digital images and actual ancient pottery, archaeologist Allen Dart
shows Native American ceramic styles that characterized specific eras in
Arizona prehistory and history, and discusses how archaeologists use
pottery for dating archaeological sites and interpreting ancient
lifeways. Allen discusses the importance of context in archaeology, how
things people make change in style over time, and how different styles
are useful for identifying different cultures and for dating pottery.
Then he shows illustrations and examples of the pottery styles that were
made in southern Arizona by the ancient Early Ceramic and Hohokam
cultures, and historically by Piman (Tohono O odham and Akimel O odham),
Yuman (including Mohave and Maricopa), and Apachean peoples from as early
as 800 B.C. into the early twentieth century. The program features slides
and a display of authentic prehistoric pottery, and recommended readings
for more information about ancient ceramics. Funding for program provided

the Rose Cottage Education Center at Agua Caliente Park, 12325 East Roger
Road, Tucson*
	1 to 2 p.m. Free

	"Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability" free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Little
Colorado Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at the Old
Springerville School, 418 E. Main St. (in same building as the Casa
Malpais Museum), Springerville, Arizona
	6:30 business meeting, 7-8:30 p.m. presentation. 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.

cultural features, and a display of authentic prehistoric artifacts.

	Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month Kick-Off Presentation:
“Geronimo's Wickiup: Archaeological Perspectives on the Cañon de los
Embudos Surrender Site” with archaeologist Dr. Deni Seymour, at Himmel
Park Branch Library, 1035 N. Treat Ave., Tucson
	6:30-8 p.m. Free.
	In the spring of 1886 Geronimo and Naiche attempted to surrender to
General Crook at Cañon de los Embudos in Sonora, Mexico. This was several
months before the actual surrender at Skeleton Canyon in southern
Arizona. This important event was attended by C. S. Fly, who
photographically documented the place, the Apache people, and some of
their material culture. While others left descriptive accounts of the
occasion, these are the only photographs of the Apache in the field while
still enemy combatants of the United States. Rumors led to the dispersal
of Geronimo and his people before the surrender was consummated, delaying
his final capitulation to General Nelson Miles until fall of the same
year. In this presentation archaeologist Deni Seymour will discuss how
comparison of the photographs to on-the-ground archaeological evidence
provides a clearer view of the Apache structures and other material
culture at Cañon de los Embudos and other archaeological sites of the
Apache.

	“Petroglyphs of the Sutherland Wash Rock Art District” guided tour with
William Gillespie and Janine Hernbrode, starting at the Minit Mart
convenience store parking lot at the southeast corner of Oracle Road
(State Highway 77) and Golder Ranch Road (0.7 mile north of Oracle Road
Milepost 85) in Catalina, Arizona
	8:30 to 3 p.m. Free (reservations required)
	In celebration of Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Awareness Month,
Coronado National Forest archaeologist Bill Gillespie and rock art
researcher Janine Hernbrode will guide Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s
free Archaeology Month tour into the Sutherland Wash Rock Art District.
Situated on the lower western flank of the Santa Catalina Mountains near
the town of Catalina, this archaeological district encompasses one of
southern Arizona’s richest arrays of ancient Hohokam petroglyphs, on
sheer bedrock faces and on rocks large and small. We will get to see many
of the more than 680 rock art panels that display thousands of
petroglyphs, as well as bedrock mortars, metates, and small “cupules” for
which the ancient people’s uses are debated. Upon check-in we will form
carpools in high-clearance vehicles to drive to the rock art vicinity,
then we’ll hike over mostly flat, sandy ground to see the petroglyphs.
Total roundtrip walking distance is 4-5 miles, mostly on brushy,
unimproved trails (many of the petroglyphs can only be accessed by
scrambling over boulders). Riders are asked to contribute cash to their
carpool drivers to help defray fuel and vehicle maintenance costs. Wear
sturdy hiking shoes, hat, and sunscreen, and BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH AND
WATER.
	Reservations are required; limited to 20 people dependent on the
availability of high-clearance vehicles. For reservations or more
