> This intensive four-day pottery workshop will immerse you in the

> Central Arizona and the beautiful pottery that they made here. Q-Ranch

> to the ancient traditions. Technologies covered included forming pottery
> using the coil-and-scrape technique, slipping and painting pottery using

> stones, painting traditional designs using brushes you create yourself from
> yucca leaves, and firing in an outdoor, open juniper-wood fire. Limited to

> 7-8:30 p.m. Free
> By the time Spanish missionaries arrived in the 18th century, the

> Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
> 6:30 p.m. Free
> 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 because 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 Casa Grandes cultures of the “Greater Southwest” (the U.S. Southwest
> and
> Mexico’s Northwest). This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

> (3) OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER’S YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
>
> Reservations are taken continually for school classes and other
> children’s groups take advantage of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s OPEN3
> simulated archaeological excavation, OPENOUT archaeology outreach
> presentations, and archaeological site-touring children’s education
> programs.
>
> The OPEN3 Simulated Archaeological Excavation Education 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’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.
>
> 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

> Village. Each youth tour is a guided visit that does not include
