produce an accurate and detailed record of an archaeological artifact, learn
more about the artifact itself through such careful examination, and inform
others about the intricacies of an artifact through detailed illustration
that cannot be as easily conveyed through words or photographs. Participants
will all stay at the Q Ranch Lodge and may enjoy additional sketching
opportunities of the picturesque ranch, ancient pueblo archaeological site,
and mountain-park scenery. Jonathan Rogers’s Q-Ranch Lodge is a two-story
ranch house with six upstairs bedrooms and three shared bathrooms, where

            “Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians”
and “Modern and Historical O'odham Culture” free presentations by
archaeologist Allen Dart for the “Ha:san Bak Saguaro Harvest Celebration” at
Colossal Cave Mountain Park, 16721 E. Old Spanish Trail, Vail, Arizona.
Cosponsored by the Arizona Humanities.*

            2-4 p.m. Free

            The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern
Arizona from the sixth through fifteenth centuries, and the Akimel O'odham
(Pima) and Tohono O'odham (Papago) occupied this region historically.
Ancient 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 Hohokam discussion is followed by information about the historical
and modern O'odham cultures of southern Arizona, and how they relate to the
Hohokam. Funding for the program is provided by the Arizona Humanities.

Society membership. Minimum enrollment 8, maximum 32.

            "Prehistory of the Southwest" is an introductory course in the
study of the American Southwest, developed by the Arizona Archaeological
Society to provide a basic overview of this region's archaeology and
cultures. Ten weekly evening class sessions will cover cultural sequences,
dating systems, subsistence strategies, development of urbanization,
abandonments of different areas at different times, and the general
characteristics of major cultural groups that have lived in the Southwest
over the past 13,000-plus years. Besides offering an up-to-date synthesis of
southwestern prehistory for anyone interested in the archaeology of the
Southwest, the class can be used as prerequisite for all other courses

            “Pottery Types of the Tonto National Forest” identification
class with archaeologist J. Scott Wood sponsored by Desert Foothills
Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society (AAS) at location to be determined
in the Cave Creek area* 

            9 a.m.-3 p.m. $35; AAS members only with priority to Desert
Foothills Chapter members 

            The Salado knew and used their surroundings well. They learned
to cultivate crops in small patches of fertile land on the craggy hillsides.
They collected rain water for later use. Some group members wove textiles
from native plants, including cotton; others made pottery from local red
clay and decorated the vessels with intricate black and white designs. The
unique style of black and white designs on red pottery known as Salado
polychrome or Roosevelt redware is associated with the ancient Salado
culture. However, not all Salado ceramics were decorated – a plain pottery
was used for daily use whereas decorated ware may have been reserved for
ceremonies. Because Salado pottery is found throughout the Southwest,
decorated ware may also have been used for trade with other American Indian
groups. To learn more about the pottery types, especially the Salado wares,
join Tonto National Forest archaeologist Scott Wood for a day of learning
the ceramic types.

            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “Chiricahua Apaches in Myth and
History” with Cochise College-Douglas History and Anthropology Instructor
Rebecca Orozco at ****[restaurant to be announced], Tucson

            6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the
restaurant’s menu) 

            As the last Native American group to reach a peace accord with
the U.S. government, the Chiricahua Apache were often featured in the press.
Famous warriors Geronimo and Naiche were photographed many times. Their
story has been the basis of numerous feature films. The story of their
conflict first with the Spaniards and Mexicans who claimed their homeland,
and later with the Americans expanding into the region in a policy of
Manifest Destiny, has become a mix of history and heresy.  The full story
never will be completely known. This presentation contains a collection of
historic photos from the end of an era – the late 1800s – that tell the
story of the clash of the people trying save their lifeway and homeland and
the people who believed the land was empty and open for settlement.

            Those wishing to attend must call 520-798-1201 and must have
their reservations confirmed before 5 p.m. Wednesday September 17 because
the fire-safety ordinance limits attendance. 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.

            “Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest” adult education class
with archaeologist Allen Dart, RPA, for OLLI-UA Green Valley members at
****[Location TBA], Green Valley, Arizona* 

            3:30 to 5 p.m. Open only to Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
(OLLI) members who reside in Green Valley; OLLI-UA Green Valley membership
fee of $95 for Fall session or $130 for entire year covers this course

            Preliterate cultures in the American Southwest took advantage of
southern Arizona’s long growing season and tackled its challenge of limited
precipitation by developing the most extensive irrigation works in all of
North America. Agriculture was introduced into southern Arizona more than
4,000 years ago, and irrigation systems were developed here by at least
3,500 years before present – several hundred years before irrigation was
established in ancient Mexico. This study session provides an overview of
ancient Native American irrigation systems identified by archaeologists in
the southern Southwest and discusses their implications for understanding
social complexity.

            * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event.

Erik Berg at ****[restaurant to be announced], Tucson; cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities 

            6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the

            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 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. 

            Raised in Flagstaff, Arizona, Erik Berg is an award-winning
historian and writer with a special interest in the early twentieth century
Southwest and the impact of science and technology. In addition to
contributing to several books, his work has appeared in the Journal of
Arizona History, Arizona Highways, and Sedona Magazine. A past president of
the Grand Canyon Historical Society, Berg currently lives in Phoenix. 

            Guests may select and purchase their own dinners from the

Hohokam Rock Art of South Mountain Park” with archaeologist Dr. Todd
Bostwick at Dragon's View Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson;
cosponsored by Arizona Humanities 

            6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the

distribution, and their possible meanings. Interpretations of the
petroglyphs include the marking of trails, territories, and astronomical
events, as well as dream or trance imagery based on O’odham (Pima) oral
traditions. Most of the trails currently used by hikers in the South
Mountains contain Hohokam rock art, indicating that these trails date back
at least 800 years. 

            Todd Bostwick has conducted archaeological research in the
Southwest for 35 years, was the Phoenix City Archaeologist at Pueblo Grande
Museum for 21 years, and is now the Senior Research Archaeologist for
PaleoWest Archaeology in Phoenix and Director of Archaeology for the Verde

Historic 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
caretaker-interpretive center at Ventana Cave, and the nonprofit Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center’s education programs.
