2. WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 19 DEADLINE FOR
OCTOBER 20 “THIRD THURSDAY FOOD FOR THOUGHT” PROGRAM
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner
& presentation: “Debating Hohokam Collapse” with archaeologist Douglas B.
Craig, Ph.D., at Amber Restaurant, 7000 E. Tanque Verde Rd. (at Sabino
Canyon Rd.), Tucson, Thursday October 20, 2011
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s menu)
The collapse of Hohokam society in late prehistory is one of the enduring
mysteries of southwestern archaeology. Many explanations have been put
forward to account for this collapse, ranging from environmental
hardships and declining health and disease to warfare and Puebloan
invasion. Dr. Craig will discuss these ideas in light of recent
excavations along the Santa Cruz River in Tucson and the uplands of the
middle Gila River valley near Florence, Arizona.
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 October 19.
