UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
 
      Listings below that are preceded by CANCELLED, POSTPONED, or
RESCHEDULED notes are included because they were listed in Old Pueblo’s
previous upcoming-activities emails but have since been cancelled or
postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center has closed our facilities to the public
since mid-March to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and already has
cancelled or postponed most of our in-person events since late March. We
plan to hold in-person events starting this fall, hoping they can go forward
if the pandemic threat is reduced by the time they are scheduled. Until we
have better knowledge about how the pandemic is progressing, we are keeping
these events scheduled rather than cancelling them in case they can proceed.

      We will continue to note in our monthly upcoming-activities emails if
we decide to cancel or postpone already-scheduled in-person events, and are
prepared to switch as many of our non-tour events as needed to Zoom online
events and to offer additional online activities in the future.
      For any activity listed below that is marked “This is not an Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center event” the information may be out of date due to
COVID-19 coronavirus concerns – Readers are advised to confirm details with
the event organizers.
 

Tuesdays February 2, 9, 16, & 23, and March 2, 2021: Online
      “Pueblos and their Ancestors: 4,000 Years Persevering in the U.S.
Southwest” online Humanities Seminar taught by archaeologist Dr. E. Charles
Adams, sponsored by The University of Arizona College of Humanities, Tucson*

      10 a.m.-12 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. $145. 
      Many of us are familiar with and may have even visited the seemingly
mystical places in the Four Corners of the U.S. Southwest on the Colorado
Plateau, including Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, and many
more. These were the long-ago homes of people we know as Pueblo, who began
farming in the region 4,000 years ago. Their descendants – the Hopi, Zuni,
Acoma, and Rio Grande Pueblos – retain strong spiritual connections to these
places told in oral histories passed through generations. Together we will
explore what made these places special then and even today: how did people
survive and prosper in this harsh region, why did they leave these places,
where did they go, and what can Pueblo people today tell us about their
ancestors? [This course was originally scheduled for Spring 2020 but was
postponed due to COVID-19.]

Thursday February 4, 2021: Online
      “Macrohistory of Human Demography in the pre-Hispanic Greater
Southwest” free online presentation by Dr. Erick Robinson sponsored by Crow
Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
      4 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged). 
      The pre-Hispanic Greater Southwest was characterized by cycles of
demographic and organizational change. Large tree-ring datasets provide
absolute chronologies for these cycles on macrohistorical scales. The
geographic scale of this macrohistory depends on the spatial coverage of
those datasets. Radiocarbon data have a wider spatial coverage across the
Greater Southwest and could therefore enhance the geographic scale of this
demographic and organizational macrohistory. However, as with any
archaeological data, radiocarbon data are subject to numerous biases caused
by differential preservation of sample materials, field research
intensities, and the specific organizational forms of past societies. This
presentation addresses these various biases by developing a new method for
comparing different demographic proxy data. These comparisons enable the
specific biases of different proxies to be highlighted, which enhances our
understanding of their relative contributions to demographic macrohistory in
the Greater Southwest. This presentation fills gaps in the demographic
macrohistory of the pre-Hispanic Greater Southwest and links this history to
the wider contexts of neighboring regions.

Saturday February 6, 2021: Tucson & Marana, AZ
        Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's "Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui
Indian) Communities" car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional
culture specialist Felipe S. Molina starting in the Santa Cruz River Park
ramada at 1317 W. Irvington Road, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just
west of the Santa Cruz River)
      8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; $30 donation ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour
expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and
traditional cultures.
      Felipe S. Molina was taught the indigenous language, culture, and
history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and
grandmother, his grandmother's cousin, and several elders from Tucson's
original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern
Arizona to escape the Mexican government's war on and deportations of the
Yoeme in the 1890s and early 1900s. By 1940 there were about 3,000 Yoeme in
Arizona, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio
Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in
Marana, and others near Eloy, Somerton, Phoenix, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina
will lead this tour to places settled historically by Yoeme in the Tucson
and Marana areas including Bwe'u Hu'upa (Big Mesquite) Village, the San
Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community (Barrio Libre), Pascua,
Ili Hu'upa, Wiilo Kampo, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its
San Juan Church and plaza. 
      All participants are asked to wear face masks and to practice physical
distancing during the tour to avoid spreading COVID-19 virus.

Tuesday February 9, 2021: Online
            “Tucson's Black Community and School Segregation” free online
presentation by Bernard Wilson, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM),
University of Arizona, Tucson*
            4-5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
            Between 1909 and 1911 the Tucson school board enacted a policy
of segregation that divided the bustling upstart city. The school boards’
decision was encouraged by the passing of Arizona Territory legislation and
enacted by a growing southern white population that wanted to introduce Jim
Crow laws. The eventual selection of an old funerary building led to
parents, the Black community, clergy, and newspaper editorials decrying the
decision. This presentation explores the people, legislation and reasons the
Tucson school board put racism over the safety and welfare of Tucson’s
children. This is the first in a two-part ASM series in honor of African
American History Month. Bernard Wilson is an independent researcher and
author of The Black Residents of Tucson and Their Achievements: A Reference
Guide.

Tuesday February 9, 2021: Online
      “Ancient Agaves of Arizona” free presentation by Ron Parker sponsored
by Phoenix Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society (AAS)*
      7:30 p.m. Free.
      This talk will cover the depth and duration of human and agave
coevolution across the desert Southwest, as well as the unusual agaves (A.
murpheyi, shown here) apparently associated with archaeological sites that
were abandoned long ago. These agaves appear to be anthropogenic cultivars –
living archaeological relics developed and planted by indigenous Native
Americans – and many appear to be growing exactly where they were planted
centuries ago. Ron Parker is an outdoorsman, xeric plant enthusiast, and
amateur botanist who spends half his time gardening, and the other half
exploring natural habitats across Arizona and neighboring states. He has
been studying agave populations in Arizona for many years, and has been out
in the field with renowned botanists and regional archaeologists. When not
under the open sky, Ron maintains a well-known xeric plant discussion forum,
<http://agaveville.org/> http://agaveville.org/, an impressive online
repository for information on agaves and other succulent plants.

Wednesdays February 10, March 10, April 14, and May 12, 2021 presentations;
tastings the Thursday after each presentation: Online

            “Agave Renaissance” free online presentations and tasting
sponsored by the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill, Tucson*
            All presentations and tastings start at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard
Time. Free.

      Agave has been a mainstay of culture in the Americas for millenia:
food, drink, tool, spirit, utilitarian, sacred. Adaptations to aridity
represented by both agave and people hold critical insights into how to live
in the desert. This lecture series looks closely at these adaptations and
the reciprocal relationship between this desert plant and people. Through
presentations, roundtable discussions, tastings, and art the Desert
Laboratory will collectively reconnect to the importance of agave, how this
relationship in threatened by climate change and our actions, and how a
resilient future is embedded in the heart of a plant. Presentations began on
January 20. Those still scheduled include:
      February 10: “Tumamoc Agave” with archaeologists Suzy and Paul Fish
      March 10: “Indigenous Agave Practice” with Jacob Butler and Cheryl
Pailzote
      April 14: “A Symbiosis Imperiled” with David Suro-Piñera, Francesca
Claverie, and Valeria Cañedo
      May 12: “Agave Is the Future” with Alex White Mazzarella and Juan
Olmeda

Wednesday February 10, 2021: Online
      “The Salado Phenomenon in the U.S. Southwest” free online Zoom
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart sponsored by Desert Foothills
Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, Cave Creek, Arizona, cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities (rescheduled from September 9, 2020)*
     7-8:30 p.m. Free
      In the early 20th century, archaeologists in the southwestern U.S.
viewed a constellation of distinctive cultural traits – multicolored
pottery, houses arranged in walled compounds, and monumental architecture –
as evidence of a cultural group they termed “Salado.” Subsequent discoveries
cause us to question what the Salado traits really represent. In this
presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates some of the so-called
Salado culture attributes, reviews theories about Salado origins, and
discusses how Salado relates to the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon, Hohokam, and
Casa Grandes cultures of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico’s Northwest. This
program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

Friday February 12, 2021: Online
      “Old-Time Religion? The Salado Phenomenon in the U.S. Southwest”
online adult education class with archaeologist Allen Dart via Zoom for
University of Arizona’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program*
      3-4:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Open to OLLI Greater
Tucson (NW and SE Tucson Only) and Green Valley (GTGV) members only;
membership fee of $140 for just Jan.-April classes or $180 for full year
(July-June) allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses.
      When first recognized by archaeologists in the early twentieth
century, a constellation of peculiar cultural traits in the southwestern
United States, including polychrome (three-colored) pottery, above-ground
housing often enclosed in walled compounds, and monumental architecture, was
thought to be indicative of a distinct group of people: "the Salado." As
more and more research was done and the widespread distribution of Salado
material culture became apparent, interpretations of what the Salado
phenomenon represents was debated. In this presentation archaeologist Allen
Dart illustrates pottery and other cultural attributes of the so-called
Salado culture, reviews some of the theories about the Salado, and discusses
how Salado related to the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon, Hohokam, and Casas
Grandes cultures of the "Greater Southwest" (the U.S. Southwest and Mexico's
Northwest).

Monday February 15, 2021: Online
      “Zooarchaeology at Pueblo Grande and the Origin of Chickens in the
American Southwest (Or Why Did the Chickens Cross the Desert?)” free Zoom
online presentation by archaeologist Steve James sponsored by Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
      7-8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free. 
      In the late 1930s, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) crew under
the direction of Albert H. Schroeder excavated Trash Mound No. 1, a Hohokam
Colonial period (775-950 CE) deposit at the extensive Hohokam site of Pueblo
Grande along the Salt River in Phoenix, Arizona. Collections from this
project remained largely unanalyzed for over 50 years. Dr. James will
discuss results of the recent analysis of the faunal collections and make
comparisons with a large Classic period (1150-1400) zooarchaeological
assemblage (26,000 specimens) recovered elsewhere at Pueblo Grande that he
analyzed in another study. Although some contrasts between the two
assemblages are the result of different recovery methods, other differences
appear to be related to habitat degradation and overexploitation of animals
in the vicinity of Pueblo Grande. As a result of the latter, the Hohokam
inhabitants made changes in their subsistence strategies with regard to
animal protein acquisition during the Classic period. The WPA excavations in
Trash Mound No. 1 also recovered domestic chicken bones, which were thought
by some researchers to be pre-Spanish in origin. Dr. James will discuss the
chicken bones in terms of the controversy about whether chickens were
introduced into the Americas perhaps from Polynesia, prior to the arrival of
the Spanish conquistadors in the early 1500s. Speaker Steven R. James is
Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Archaeological Research
Facility in the Archaeology Program within the Division of Anthropology at
California State University, Fullerton.

      ““The Spirit of Spirituals: Famous and Stirring Songs of Faith, and
their Stories” free presentation by Súle Greg Wilson, sponsored by the
Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of Arizona, Tucson*
            4-5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      People the world over express Divine Devotion through humbly coming
together and creating blessed sounds, blending their energies and hearts to
help bridge that sometimes narrow, sometimes great, divide between us, as
temporal beings, and the Infinite. One example of this bridge is African
American sacred music: Negro Spirituals, and the Gospel tradition. Many have
heard them, but few know their historical, or cultural context, much less
their African precedents. What better way to learn about it than to hear and
sing it? Join us in exploring African and Post-African music, the stories
behind the songs, their cultural significance, and why they continue to
endure. This is the second in a two-part series in honor of African American
History Month. Súle Greg Wilson is an educator, musician, dancer,
storyteller, author, archivist, and director of the Smithsonian
Institution’s Afro-American Index Project (precursor to the National Museum
of African American History and Culture).

Mexico and the Borderlands through Food and Taste” presentation by historian
Dr. Michael Brescia
      7 to 8:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time Free. 
      This presentation examines how the fusion of foods and diet of the
Americas and beyond transformed Mexico in the wake of the Spanish conquest
and the establishment of Spanish colonialism in North America. Historian Dr.
Michael Brescia will provide a food history of Mexico and the northern
Borderlands region and discuss the cultural significance of a mestizaje of
taste, or the blending of foodways and nutritional regimes that changed

      “Far from Isolated: Resilience and Adaptation among the Rarámuri in
the 20th Century” free online presentation by José Miguel Chávez Leyva 
sponsored by the Amerind Museum, Dragoon, Arizona*
      11 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      The Rarámuri (Tarahumara) have traditionally been viewed as a group
that retreated into the mountains and canyons of Chihuahua, fighting outside
influence with isolation. This ignores the ways that the Rarámuri have
responded to the multiple intrusions to their territory over the course of
the 20th century. From fighting in the Mexican Revolution to working as
railroad laborers, the Rarámuri have never shied away from participating in
a society that has branded them as primitive. This lecture will explore some
of the rich tapestry of Rarámuri history, looking at ways in which they have
actively worked to preserve their way of life from the turn of the century
through the 1970s. José Miguel Chávez Leyva is a Ph.D. candidate in
Borderlands History at the University of Texas at El Paso whose research is
centered on the environmental ethnohistory of the Chihuahuan and Sonoran
deserts and how Indigenous peoples in these regions have maintained their
identities despite outside pressures from the colonial era to modern times.

      “Naiche – Last Hereditary Chief of the Chiricahua Apache” Salon and
Saloon Lecture by Bill Cavaliere sponsored by Presidio San Agustín del
Tucson Museum, Tucson*
      7 p.m. $5 for Zoom link. 
      Bill Cavaliere, president of the Cochise County Historical Society and
board member of the Arizona Historical Society’s southern chapter, covers
the life of Naiche, Cochise’s youngest son, who unexpectedly rose to the
position of chief in 1876 with the sudden passing of his older brother.
Naiche’s life was eventful yet ultimately tragic. He was constantly compared
to his famous father Cochise. His authority was always overshadowed by his
companion Geronimo, and he faced the humility of being the chief who was
responsible for surrendering his people.  This presentation covers his life
from his early years until his death. Cavaliere is the author of The
Chiricahua Apaches – A Concise History, and he lectures frequently on the
Chiricahua Apaches at colleges and historical societies. Cosponsored by
Tucson Lifestyle magazine.

      Special Old Pueblo Archaeology Center Readers’ Invite to OLLI-UA
Speaker Series: “Diverting the Gila: The Pima Indians and the Florence Casa
Grande Project, 1916-1928” free online Zoom presentation by author David H.
DeJong sponsored by The University of Arizona Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute (OLLI) and The University of Arizona Press, Tucson*
      1 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free
      In the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, Americans assumed the
land and water resources of the West were endless, with settlement of the
Florence-Casa Grande and the Upper Gila River Valleys facilitated by federal
entry and resource laws. While entry laws were part of the grand social
experiment of transforming the West into a collection of yeoman farms, such
federal laws benefitted non-tribal settlers to the detriment of the
once-successful Akimel O'odham (Pima Indian) growers along the Gila River.
At the same time, the scarcity of water in the Gila River created tension
between the residents of Florence and Casa Grande, who not only fought among
themselves but also opposed Upper Valley development, leading to distrust
among all parties, including the Pima. Into this political foray stepped
Arizona’s freshman Congressman Carl Hayden who not only united the farming
communities but also used Pima water deprivation to the advantage of
Florence-Casa Grande and Upper Valley growers. The result was the federal
Florence-Casa Grande Project that was to benefit Pima growers on the Gila
River Indian Reservation first and foremost. But as was so often the case in
the West, well-heeled non-tribal political interests manipulated the laws at
the expense of the Pima. Learn more about the book

      “More than Pocahontas and Squaws: Indigenous Women Coming into
Visibility” free online presentation by Dr. Laura Tohe (Diné), sponsored by
the Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of Arizona, Tucson*
            4-5 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      This visual presentation shows how Indigenous American women have
contributed service to Arizona and the US, yet remain invisible in the media
and stereotyped in early films. Nevertheless, they have been honored in all
areas of public service—law, medicine, literature, military, education, and
activism with awards such as, the Presidential Freedom, the McArthur (genius
award), among others. Among some traditional tribal cultures, women’s lives
are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express
courage and kinship values. Rites of passage celebrate female creativity and
the transformative nature of women, hence there was not a need for the
concept of feminism. This talk presents cultural aspects of Indigenous
culture and how women have contributed in significant ways, not only to
their tribal nations, but to contemporary American life. Laura Tohe is
Professor Emerita at Arizona State University and Navajo Nation Poet
Laureate (2015-2019).

Monday March 8, 2021: Online 
      Special Old Pueblo Archaeology Center Readers’ Invite to OLLI-UA
Speaker Series: Flower Worlds in the Art and Ideology of Prehispanic and
Contemporary Indigenous Societies in Mesoamerica and the American Southwest”
free online Zoom presentation by Dr. Michael D. Mathiowetz and Dr. Andrew D.
Turner sponsored by The University of Arizona Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute (OLLI) and The University of Arizona Press, Tucson*
      1 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free
      The identification of “flower worlds” is one of the most significant
breakthroughs in the study of Indigenous spirituality in the Americas. These
worlds are solar and floral spiritual domains that are widely shared among
both pre-Hispanic and contemporary Native cultures in Mesoamerica and the
American Southwest. During the last 30 years, archaeologists, art
historians, ethnologists, Indigenous scholars, and linguists have emphasized
the antiquity and geographical extent of similar flower world beliefs among
ethnic and linguistic groups in the Americas. Flower worlds are not simply
ethereal, otherworldly domains, they are embodied in lived experience,
activated, invoked, and materialized through ritual practices, expressed in
verbal and visual metaphors, and embedded in the use of material objects and
ritual spaces. Today, flower worlds are expressed in everyday work and lived
experiences, embedded in sacred geographies, and ritually practiced both
individually and in communities. The forthcoming volume Flower Worlds:
Religion, Aesthetics, and Ideology in Mesoamerica and the American Southwest
(University of Arizona Press, 2021), edited by Michael Mathiowetz and Andrew
Turner, is the first to bring together a diverse range of scholars to create
a truly multidisciplinary understanding of Indigenous flower worlds. This
comprehensive book illuminates the origins of flower worlds as a key aspect
of religions and histories among societies in Mesoamerica and the American
Southwest. It also explores these multisensory realms and their role in
shaping ritual economies, politics, and cross-cultural interaction among
Indigenous peoples extending over 2,500 years, offering different
disciplines, perspectives, and collaborations to understand these domains.
This presentation stresses the importance of contemporary perspectives and
experiences of living traditions and the historical trajectories of flower
worlds by melding scientific and humanistic research and emphasizing
Indigenous voices. Learn more about the book

      Special Old Pueblo Archaeology Center Readers’ Invite to OLLI-UA
Speaker Series: “The Fernandeños: Lineages, Neophytes, Citizens, and Tribe”
free online Zoom presentation by authors Duane Champagne and Carole Goldberg
sponsored by The University of Arizona Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
(OLLI) and The University of Arizona Press, Tucson*
      1 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time/Arizona Time. Free
      The Indigenous people who were brought to Mission San Fernando,
northwest of present-day Los Angeles, came from autonomous, lineage-based
villages, connected through ceremonies, trade, and intermarriage. The
University of Arizona Press’s new book A Coalition of Lineages depicts the
dispossession, attempted detribalization, persistence, and multicultural
adaptations of these lineages, including formation of an overlapping Mission
Indian identity and tribal organization. Although most histories of Mission
Indians end with the closing of the missions, this book presents powerful
evidence that the Fernandeño tribal community has continued into the
present. Even as a Tribe seeking federal recognition, the Fernandeño
Tataviam Band of Mission Indians has successfully pursued economic
development, social welfare for its members, and engagement with federal,
state, and local governments. Learn more about the book

      “The Navajo Long Walk (1863 through 1868): Through the Eyes of Navajo
Women” free online presentation by Dr. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie (Diné),
sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of Arizona, Tucson*
            4-5 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
      The Navajo people of old were forced to leave their homes and walk
over 450 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico where they were
imprisoned on a small reservation. For four long years the Navajo people
faced hunger, loneliness, disorientation, illnesses, severe environmental
conditions, and hopelessness. Navajo women were forced to become warriors.
It was the nurturing role, words and actions of women that spared the lives
of the ones who survived. Before their release from prisoner of war status
in 1968, it was the demands of the women that led the Navajo people back to
their original lands in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico.
The Long Walk has been collected in historical literature by non-Navajo
authors. Absent from the literature is the Navajo perspective. The audience
will hear the Navajo female elders’ version of the Long Walk in this
presentation. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie is Professor Emerita of Navajo at
Northern Arizona University.

Thursday March 18, 2021: Online
        “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online dinnertime
program featuring 
"Mimbres in Context: Hohokam, Chaco, Casas Grandes" free Zoom online
presentation by archaeologist Stephen H. Lekson, sponsored by Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center, Tucson
            7 to 8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
            The ancient Mimbres people of southwestern New Mexico were
interesting not only for their famous pottery, but also as “players” in the
larger history of the ancient Southwest.  We consider Mimbres history in
context of its times: Hohokam up to about 1000 CE; Chaco from 1000 to 1150;
and the run-up to Paquimé/Casas Grandes from 1150 to 1250.  Mimbres began as
pithouse villages making red-on-brown pottery (much like Hohokam
red-on-buff) and developing Hohokam-inspired canal irrigation systems in the
Chihuahua Desert.  Around 1000 Hohokam waned as Chaco waxed – the “Pueblo II
Expansion” of old textbooks. Emil Haury, long ago, identified 1000 as
approximately the time Mimbres was transformed into stone pueblos making
black-on-white pottery; he insisted that Mimbres (a subset of the larger
Mogollon region) essentially ceased being Mogollon and became much more
Anasazi-like.  Mimbres flourished while Chaco flourished, from 1000 to
shortly before 1150.  Political shifts after 1125 at Chaco were reflected at
the same time by mass depopulation and social change in the Mimbres river
valleys.  Post-Mimbres people moved south into the desert, and formed new
communities in mud-walled-pueblo villages (some of considerable size) with
little or no locally produced painted pottery.  Those post-Mimbres societies
almost certainly contributed substantially to the base population for
Paquimé, the Casas Grandes regional center from 1300 to 1450.

Saturday March 20, 2021: Tucson-Marana, AZ
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour of Los Morteros
and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with archaeologist Allen
Dart departing from near Silverbell Road and Linda Vista Blvd. in Marana,
Arizona
      8 a.m. to noon. $30 donation ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s tour
expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and
traditional cultures.
      The 2021 spring equinox occurs on March 20 at 2:37 a.m. Mountain
Standard Time (9:37 a.m. GMT). To celebrate the vernal equinox,
archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's executive
director) leads this tour to Los Morteros, an ancient village site that
includes a Hohokam ballcourt and bedrock mortars, and to Picture Rocks,
where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker,
dancing human-like figures, whimsical animals, and other rock symbols made
by Hohokam Indians between 650 and 1450 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph
at the site exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on the
morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual
celestial equinox, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight
interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight.
      All participants are asked to wear face masks and to practice physical

Series presentation by Jack Lasseter on the picnic grounds at Tubac Presidio
State Historic Park, 1 Burruel Street, Tubac, Arizona*
      2-3 p.m. $15.
      This is the fascinating story of the Chiricahua Apache and their
effect upon Spanish settlement here on the Northern Frontier (Pimaria Alta).
You will hear about their culture that made them such a force, about the
Spanish response of “Establecimientos de Paz”, about Manso Apaches, and the
environment in which Cochise was raised, all before the coming of the
Americans. Snacks will be served. Bring your own chair – the lecture will be
outdoors in the park’s large picnic area.

Tuesday March 23, 2021: Online
      “China Mary: History and Legend” free online presentation by Dr. Li
Yang, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of Arizona,
Tucson*
      4-5 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Free. 
      A 1960 episode of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, the first Western
television series, immortalized China Mary as a strong, powerful and
ruthless Asian female figure in American popular imagination. The legend of
her as an infamous Dragon Lady who ruled Tombstone’s Chinatown with an iron
fist cannot be substantiated by historical research. Yang’s presentation
will debunk the myth of China Mary and tell the real story of her as well as
other Chinese who lived in Tombstone, Arizona, during the Exclusion period.
Li Yang is a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. This is the
third in a three-part series in honor of Women's History Month made possible

Tuesday March 30, Thursday April 1, Tuesday April 6 and Wednesday April 7,
2021: Online
      “The Archaeology of Chaco Canyon” four-session online course sponsored
by School for Advanced Research (SAR), Santa Fe *
      2 p.m. Mountain Time each session. SAR member $200 / $250 course fee +
one year SAR Arroyo Hondo membership or $50 for recorded sessions only.
      Archaeological interpretations of Chaco seem to veer back and forth
between “mysterious” and “no big deal.” According to Steve Lekson it was
neither. Chaco is not difficult to understand in the context of 11th century
Native North America: Not mysterious. And Chaco played a pivotal role in the
history of the US Southwest and northwest Mexico: A big deal. This course
surveys the development of archaeological views of Chaco through the 20th
and 21st centuries and how it got to mysterious/no big deal; looks at what
Chaco (most likely) was, in the context of Native America in the 10th-12th
centuries; follows the region’s history, in which Chaco was a climactic
event, from the 6th century through the 16th century; and finally suggests
what Chaco, properly understood, might offer to history and science, and its
apparently problematic place in Native heritage. Stephen H. Lekson, former
Curator of Archaeology at the Museum of Natural History, University of
Colorado, Boulder, directed more than 20 archaeological projects throughout
the Southwest, focused about half of his 50-year career on Chaco, and has
written a dozen books, chapters in many edited volumes, and articles in
journals and magazines.

presentation by archaeologist Richard C. Lange
Thursday April 15, 2021: Online
            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “A History of Arizona State
Museum Research around Homol’ovi and at the Ancestral Hopi Village of
Homol’ovi II” presentation by archaeologist Richard C. Lange
            7 to 8:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time Free.
            Rich Lange, who served as Associate Director of the Arizona
State Museum, University of Arizona (ASM) Homol'ovi Research Program for
over three decades, will review the history of that program and the
Winslow/Homol'ovi area. He will focus on the seven late ancestral-Hopi
Homol'ovi Settlement Cluster villages that were founded in a roughly
140-year span between 1260 and 1400 CE. Much of these villages’ population
probably came originally from the Hopi Mesas area and returned there when
the Homol'ovi villages were no longer occupied on a regular basis. Rich will
examine the unique role of Homol'ovi II, the largest and latest of the
Cluster’s villages where excavations occurred in 1983-84 and from 1991-1995,
and discuss how it was founded, when, and by whom.

Monday April 19, 2021: Online
      “Sharing an Ear of Corn: An Archaeologist’s Perspective on the Role of
Food in Community Collaborations” free Zoom online presentation by
archaeologist Lisa Young sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical
Society (AAHS), Tucson*
      7-8:30 p.m. Free
      Collaborative consultations, especially with descendent communities,
have become an important and vibrant component of archaeological projects.
Engagement with community members commonly occurs during the fieldwork and
analysis components of a project. What happens when the project is
completed? How can archaeologists maintain connections with their community
partners, especially in contexts where substantial distances separate them?
In this talk, Lisa Young shares her perspective on the importance of food in
nourishing collaborations that began over 15 years ago at the Homolovi State
Park near Winslow, Arizona. A conversation about the importance of sharing
an ear of roasted corn kindled these long-term relationships and led to her
deeper understanding of the connections between corn, heritage, and
ancestors for the Hopi community as well as Anishinaabe communities in the
Great Lakes region.

OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER’S YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
 
            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s in-person Youth Education
Programs are on hiatus until schools can begin offering in-person classroom
programs safely again according to Pima County Health Department guidelines,
as southern Arizona’s COVID-19 pandemic risk lessens. Meanwhile, we are
developing online versions of all of our programs, so please see below, and
watch this space in our next few Upcoming Activities email announcements!
        For descriptions and pricing of our children’s education programs
please visit our
www.oldpueblo.org/programs/educational-programs/childrens-programs/
<http://www.oldpueblo.org/programs/educational-programs/childrens-programs/>
web page.


 
ON HIATUS: The OPEN3 Simulated Archaeological Excavation Education Program


      We are working to develop on-line alternatives for this program.
 
      The Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood (OPEN) program allows students
and adults to learn what archaeology is all about by excavation in “OPEN3,”
a full-scale model of an archaeological site.  OPEN3 is a simulated
excavation site that archaeologists have constructed to resemble a southern
Arizona Hohokam Indian ruin. It has full-size replicas of prehistoric
pithouses and outdoor features that the Hohokam used for cooking, storage,
and other (sometimes surprising) purposes. Students participating in the
program get to learn and practice techniques used to excavate real
archaeological sites. They are also exposed to scientific interpretation of
how ancient people constructed their houses, what they looked like, ate, and
believed in, and how they created beauty in their lives.
 
OPENOUT Archaeology Outreach Presentations


      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center now offers each of the following
programs via Zoom.
 
      Old Pueblo’s OPEN­OUT (Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood Outreach)
program offers 45-60 minute presenta­tions by pro­fes­sional archaeologists.
Each presentation shows kids how some aspects of everyday life have changed
while others have stayed the same.
      The “Ancient People of Arizona” presentation gives children an
overview of how the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), Mogollon, and Hohokam
peoples lived.
      The “Lifestyle of the Hohokam” program shows children how the ancient
Hohokam lived.
      The “Ancient People of Arizona” and “Lifestyle of the Hohokam”
presentations both include real and replica artifacts, plus abundant
illustrations to help children experience how prehistoric Native Americans
of our area lived and to appreciate the arts they created.
      “What is an Archaeologist?” is a program designed to give children an
idea of what archaeologists do, how they do it, and how they learn about
people through their work. This presentation includes examples of the tools
archaeologists work with, real and replica artifacts, and activities to help
children experience how archaeologists interpret the past.
      The hands-on materials and fun lesson plans in our OPENOUT programs
bring archaeology and the past alive for children and are a per­fect prelude
for the OPEN3 simulated archaeological excavation program.
 
ON HIATUS: Tours for Youth
 
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers guided tours to real
archaeological sites for classrooms and other organized children’s groups.
Heritage sites that can be visited in this program include a choice of the
Picture Rocks petroglyphs site (visited by the school group shown in the
accompanying photo), Los Morteros Hohokam Village, or Vista del Rio Hohokam
Village. Each youth tour is a guided visit that does not include
archaeological excavation; participants are not allowed to collect
artifacts.
