RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 27 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center's Saturday November 30, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. "Rock Art and
Archaeology of Ventana Cave" carpooling educational tour with archaeologist
Allen Dart. Tour departs from Pima Community College, 401 N. Bonita Ave.,
Tucson. This early-morning carpool tour onto the Tohono O'odham Nation will
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 6:30 a.m. to ensure the pictographs can be seen in the
best morning light. Fee of $35 ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and
Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members; no charge for members or employees
of the Tohono O'odham Nation) 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.
