(2) NEW ON-LINE ARCHAEOLOGY & ROCK ART VIDEOS
(a) “POZOS DE SONOQUI: DISCOVERING THE MYSTERIES OF THE HOHOKAM”
17-minute video by Maricopa County Department of Transportation
This video has been produced by the Maricopa County Department
of Transportation (MCDOT) in partnership with the Town of Queen Creek,
Arizona, to highlight the MCDOT-sponsored cultural resources compliance
project at the Pozos de Sonoqui Hohokam archaeological site. Because part of
this ancient Hohokam village was situated within the future path of Riggs
Road, archaeological fieldwork was conducted in the new roadway segment
earlier this year. The video highlights the significance of the cultural
resources aspect of the roadway design project, as well as the historical
importance of the ancient Hohokam in the Sonoran Desert. To view it on the
web go to <http://youtu.be/Slw2J8L9m64> http://youtu.be/Slw2J8L9m64.
(b) INDIAN ROCK ART OF THE SOUTHWEST. PART 1

“Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” free
presentation by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's director, archaeologist
Allen Dart, for Pima County Natural Resources Parks and Recreation at Brandi
Fenton Memorial Park, 3482 E. River Road, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities Council
10-11 a.m. Free
The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona
from the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts, architecture,
and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying
where the Hohokam lived, for interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran
Desert for centuries, and explaining why the Hohokam culture mysteriously
disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates the
material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible interpretations about
their relationships to the natural world, their time reckoning, religious
practices, beliefs, and deities, and possible reasons for the eventual
demise of their way of life. The program features slides of Hohokam
artifacts, rock art, and other cultural features, a display of authentic
prehistoric artifacts, and recommended readings for more information about
the Hohokam. Funding for program provided by the Arizona Humanities Council.

"Archaeology and You: Preserving the Past for the Future" free
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Homolovi Chapter, Arizona
Archaeological Society, at Winslow Chamber of Commerce (Old Hubbell
Building), 523 W. Second St., Winslow, Arizona. Cosponsored by the Arizona
Humanities Council.
7-8 p.m. Free
Tombs in an ancient Maya city are sacked by looters seeking artifacts
to sell. Relic collectors lease an archaeological site and dig it up to
collect artifacts, leaving craters littered with human bones and broken
grave objects. A petroglyph is chiseled out of a rock face. These actions
destroy part of the archaeological record of humankind. In this presentation
Mr. Dart notes that artifacts and cultural features ranging from small
pieces of pottery and arrowheads to petroglyphs, glass bottles, coins, and
other historical objects often are the only sources of information that
archaeologists have to answer questions about an ancient people's way of
life, which makes it important for these items to be left undisturbed in
their original context. Funding for program provided by the Arizona
Humanities Council.
No reservations needed. For meeting details contact Darlene

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner & presentation: “Along the California Trail” with American Indian
cultures scholar-musicologist Dr. Jay Craváth, at Coco's Bakery Restaurant,
7250 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson.
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s

An ancient set of Indian paths and the natural flow of the Gila River
created a major artery for travel through Arizona. The Gila provided a ready
route for the earliest traders (who some would say included the Toltecs of
Mexico) who traded among the Mogollon, Anasazi (Ancestral Pueblo), and
Hohokam. This program focuses on the varied travelers along this route –
their struggles, stories, and fates. It also explores the legacies these
explorers left. The journals, stories, songs and art that came from these
travels are rich and revealing of our state’s explorers and citizens.
Jay Craváth is a composer, writer, and scholar in the field of music
and American Indian studies. Dr. Craváth crafts programs from these
interests into interactive discussions that include stories, musical
performance, and dance. His most recent publication is “The Mohave Book for
Little Ones.”
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.

“Southwestern Rock Calendars and Ancient Time Pieces” free
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Verde Valley Chapter, Arizona
Archaeological Society, at Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road,
Sedona, Arizona. Cosponsored by Arizona Humanities Council.*
7-8:30 p.m. Free
Native Americans in the Southwest developed sophisticated skills in
astronomy and predicting the seasons, centuries before Old World peoples
first entered the region. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart
discusses historically known sky-watching practices of various southwestern
peoples, and how their ancestors’ observations of the heavens may have been
commemorated in ancient architecture and rock symbols. The program
illustrates cardinal, solstice, and equinox alignments and possible
calendrical reckoning features at such places as Arizona’s Casa Grande Ruins
and Picture Rocks petroglyphs sites, New Mexico’s Chaco Canyon
archaeological district, the Hovenweep area of Utah, and the Mesa Verde and
Chimney Rock regions of Colorado. Mr. Dart also offers interpretation of how
these discoveries may relate to ancient Native American ritual.

Hohokam Indians” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Pima
County Public Library's Valencia Branch, 202 W. Valencia Rd., Tucson*
6-7:30 p.m.; free
The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona
from the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts, architecture,
and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying
where the Hohokam lived, for interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran
Desert for centuries, and explaining why the Hohokam culture mysteriously
disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates the
material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible interpretations about
their relationships to the natural world, their time reckoning, religious
practices, beliefs, and deities, and possible reasons for the eventual
demise of their way of life.

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. Fees will
benefit the Tohono O’odham Hickiwan District’s efforts to develop a

View Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s

The Sears Point Archaeological District (SPAD) is a large and complex
cultural resource strewn along the terraces on the south side of the Gila
River. Steep volcanic cliffs and boulders contain over 2,000 panels of
petroglyphs, one of the largest concentrations in North America. Evelyn F.
Billo and Robert K. Mark of Rupestrian CyberServices, and archaeologist
Donald E. Weaver, Jr., of Plateau Mountain Desert Research mapped all
petroglyph panels, and photographed and recorded at least 9,746 individual
rock symbols and an additional 87 archaeological features. Geoglyphs
(intaglios), rock piles, rings, and alignments, cleared areas, extensive
trails, historical features from the 1800s, and traces of temporary
habitation features all were documented. A variety of archaeological
cultures including the Desert Archaic, Patayan, and Hohokam used the site,
and it is possible there was Paleoindian presence.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner & presentation: “Hohokam and Mimbres Art and Ideology” with
archaeologist Allen Dart at ****[restaurant to be announced], Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
Comparison of New Mexico’s Classic Mimbres (AD 1000-1130) rock
art and that of the contemporaneous Hohokam culture of southern Arizona
helps define the spheres of those cultures’ art and ideology. Certain icons
are common to both Hohokam and Mimbres rock art, whereas each culture also
exhibits repeated motifs that apparently were not produced by the other.
Comparison and contrast of the shared and unshared rock art images, and of
other aspects of Hohokam and Mimbres cultures, suggest similarities as well
as differences in their respective religious beliefs and practices.
The presenter for this “dinner-format” program is Allen Dart, a
registered professional archaeologist who works full time as State Cultural
Resources Specialist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and
volunteers his time as Executive Director of Tucson’s Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center.
Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the restaurant’s

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner & presentation: “Carbon 14 Dating, from the Earliest Dog to the
World's Most Mysterious Manuscript” with Professor Greg Hodgins, at Amber
Restaurant & Gallery, 7000 E. Tanque Verde Road (near Sabino Canyon Rd.),
Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
The time-depth of written history is about 5,000 years, while that of
artifacts about 2.5 million. Needless to say, a lot of human history
happened before the invention of the written word, and a lot afterwards that
nobody had the time or inclination to write about. Luckily, artifacts tell
tales. It is the job of archaeologists to find ways to allow them to speak;
to tell the stories of human existence that were not written down. A
fundamental tool in this endeavor is carbon dating. Radiocarbon dating
covers the last 50,000 years, which is only the most recent 2% of artifact
time-depth. Nevertheless, that span covers the most recent one-third of Homo
sapiens existence, from the end of Neanderthals, the end of the last Ice
Age, the peopling of the New World, the origins of animal domestication and
agriculture, and the rise of complex societies. Carbon dating helps order
artifacts within the vast and confusing jumble of past human and natural
events. This talk will describe how carbon dating works, and provide some
examples of how it contributes to our understanding of past human existence.
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
