DEADLINES COMING UP
RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 15 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center’s Thursday October 16, 2014, 6 to 8:30 p.m. “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “The Eagle and the
Archaeologists: The Lindberghs’ 1929 Southwest Aerial Survey” with historian
Erik Berg at Dragon's View Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson.
Charles Lindbergh is best known for his famous 1927 flight across the
Atlantic Ocean. But few realize that Lindbergh and his wife Anne played a
brief but important role in archaeology. In 1929 they teamed up with noted
archaeologist Alfred Vincent Kidder to conduct an unprecedented aerial
photographic survey of southwestern prehistoric sites and geologic features
including Chaco Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and Canyon de Chelly. Featuring
Lindbergh’s historic photographs, this presentation describes this
adventurous pioneering collaboration of aviation and archaeology. This
program was made possible by Arizona Humanities. There is no entry fee but
guests are asked to purchase their own dinners so that the restaurant won’t
charge Old Pueblo for their seats, and donations will be requested to
benefit Old Pueblo’s educational efforts.
Seating is limited in order for the program to be in compliance
with the Fire Code. Therefore, those wishing to attend must call
520-798-1201 and must have their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m.
Wednesday October 15.
