DEADLINES COMING UP
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 20 IS THE RESERVATION DEADLINE for the THURSDAY
JANUARY 21, 6 to 8:30 p.m., Old Pueblo Archaeology Center "Third Thursday
Food for Thought" dinner featuring the presentation "Apaches and Their
Horses" by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour at ULike Asian Buffet
Restaurant, 330 S. Wilmot Rd., Tucson.
Some scholars and others think the people now known as Apache did not
become Apache until the adoption of the horse--which is said to have
triggered the raiding adaptation. In this presentation Dr. Seymour, an
internationally recognized authority on protohistoric and historic Native
American and Spanish colonial archaeology and ethnohistory, addresses this
and many other notions about the Apache and their horses. No doubt, horses
played a central role in the Apachean world but the horse divide is not as
pronounced as thought. She will discuss various ways in which horses changed
the ancestral Apache lifeway, how horses survived and thrived without
European horse culture, how horses shaped warfare and intercultural
relations, and how horses were intertwined with family and inter-band
relations through horse trading and gambling. While the horse is maintained
in contemporary culture, archaeological traces document the animal's
historical role in rock art, horse bones, landscape use, and artifacts.
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.

Archaeology Center car-caravan educational tour with archaeologist Allen
Dart departing from Tucson at the Park & Ride parking lot at I-10 and
Ruthrauff Rd. (northeast corner of the I-10 westbound Frontage Road at Exit

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers this early-morning car-caravan
tour onto the Tohono O'odham Nation to visit the Ventana Cave National
Historic Landmark site. During the Arizona State Museum's 1940s excavations
in the cave, led by archaeologists Emil W. Haury and Julian Hayden, evidence
was found for human occupation going back from historic times to around
10,000 years ago. The cave, which actually is a very large rockshelter, also
contains pictographs, petroglyphs, and other archaeological features used by
Native Americans for thousands of years. Tour leaves Tucson at 6 a.m. to
ensure the pictographs can be seen in the best morning light. Fees will
benefit the Tohono O'odham Hickiwan District's efforts to develop a
caretaker-interpretive center at Ventana Cave, and the nonprofit Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center's education programs.
