(1) “YEAR-END” EVENT COMES EARLY
 
      Like many not-for-profit organizations, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
normally requests charitable contributions during the holiday season. This
year we’re making our request early because we need your help right now.
      As indicated in each of these monthly Upcoming Activities messages,
Old Pueblo not only offers archaeology-related presentations and activities
for adults, we also sponsor our “Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood”
learning programs for kids – our OPEN3 simulated archaeological excavation
program, the OPENOUT presentations in school classrooms, and youth
archaeological site tours. It is expensive for us to employ trained
archaeology technicians to teach and oversee our OPEN programs and to pay
for our facilities and overhead expenses (utilities, insurance, etc.), so we
normally must charge fees to the school classes that participate in our OPEN
programs to cover our expenses. For school classrooms that can’t afford to
pay our full program costs, Old Pueblo tries to provide classroom
scholarships to reduce the amount of fees they would otherwise have to pay
for using our education programs.
      The past several years have been hard on Old Pueblo and on the schools
that want to take advantage of our programs. The numbers of children we’ve
been able to reach has declined because the State of Arizona’s education
budget cuts have left many schools with too little money to spend on outside
learning activities. Many teachers who used to bring their classes for the
OPEN3 experience have been unable recently to come up with the fees Old
Pueblo normally must charge to cover costs.
      This is where you can help. If you appreciate what we do to educate
children about archaeology, history, and cultures, and to inform the public
– including you! – about archaeology-related activities through these
monthly messages, please take a moment to make a donation to Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center today – rather than waiting till the end of the year – to
help us replenish our classroom scholarships fund and continue paying our
usual expenses. Old Pueblo is a federally recognized 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit organization so donations and membership fees that you
provide to us are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. For several
easy ways to support Old Pueblo please see the OUR MISSION AND SUPPORT
section and the archaeological site tour and December 3 and January 21 event
listings below.
 
Thank you!

Thursdays July 7, 14, 21, & 28, 2016: Tucson
      “50 Years of Archaeology: A Celebration” four-session noncredit class
with Professor David Soren sponsored by University of Arizona Humanities
Seminars at Helen S. Schaefer Building, 1508 E. Helen St., Tucson* 
      10 a.m. to noon each Thursday; 4-week course fee $85
      In this course Professor David Soren presents four of his most
significant accomplishments from his 50-year career in archaeology. First,
he will discuss his excavations at Kourion, Cyprus, where he uncovered a
Greco-Roman city buried by the devastating earthquake of July 21, 365, which
triggered tsunamis so powerful they demolished the Greek coast. Next, he
will tell the story of the agony of Roman emperor Augustus, which caused him
to go with the poet Horace to an exotic spa in Tuscany. Then, he will reveal
the Carthaginians, whose general Hannibal became a name that still inspires
terror in today's world. Finally, Dr. Soren will analyze factors that
hastened the fall of Rome, as he presents his new work with the Yale
Biomedical Anthropology team about the spread of malaria across ancient
Italy.
      David Soren is Regents Professor of Anthropology, Classics, and Art
History at the University of Arizona, a Fellow of the Johns Hopkins School
of Advanced International Studies, and Resident of the American Academy in
Rome. He has been named an Honorary Italian Citizen for his contributions to
Italian archaeology and an Honorary Philhellene by the Greek Orthodox Church
for his work in Cypriote archaeology. He also has been named a Successor
Generation Scholar by Oxford University.

furnishings and tools until 4 p.m. Free
      This is a tale of the economic impact of two roads, the Camino Real
and the Santa Fe Trail, on residents of Santa Fe, viewed through the 1831
will and inventory of Maria Micaela Baca and the 1836 inventory of her
son-in-law, Manuel Sanchez.  Besides multiple pieces of fine clothing Señora
Baca also bequeathed “two ploughshares; seven sickles; 20 plates, 12
glasses; 12 cups; four fine chocolate mugs; one conserve jar; [and} two
coffee pots”. Dr. Snow, who is affiliated with the New Mexico Historic
Preservation Office, helps us view the reality of daily life of early New
Mexico residents through the records they left behind. Dr. Snow is also
recognized for her 1974-1975 work excavating much of the west end of the
Palace of the Governors, in Santa Fe. These excavations revealed a wide
range of  both luxurious and utilitarian items used by Palace residents over
the centuries.

Monday July 18, 2016: Tucson
      “Current Research in Digital Archaeology” free presentation by Doug
Gann at Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society meeting, Banner
University Medical Center DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson*
      7:30-9 p.m. Free
      Archaeological research has been greatly transformed by spatial data
and geodetic mapping techniques. Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
LIDAR, and photogrammetric mapping have transformed the ways archaeology can
study, document, and record the landscapes, settlements, deposits, and
objects that comprise the archaeological record. Hand-in-hand with similar
digital developments in the entertainment industries, public archaeologists
now have the opportunity to utilize a wide set of new tools and technologies
to share archaeological research with the general public. Archaeology
Southwest personnel have spent the past two decades working with these new
media methods for capitalizing on these opportunities. By employing the same
software that “drives” the new generation of video games, beginning with the
Chaco’s Legacy project, we are developing a tool called Chronological
Virtual Reality to allow archaeologists to build their own virtual exhibits
that incorporate GIS, Lidar, and photogrammetric models into timeline-based
touch-screen, web-based, or full virtual reality exhibits. This presentation
will focus on the development of new tools for sharing ancient and historic
places, such as the Marana Platform Mound, Las Capas, Homol’ovi IV, and
Pecos Pueblo, through time and space.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations needed. For details visit  <http://www.az-arch-and-hist.org/>

Monday-Friday July 25-29, 2016: Tucson
      “Museum Summer Camp for Adults: Pottery Research on the Point of Pines
Collection” at the Arizona State Museum, 1013 E University Blvd, Tucson*
      Times TBA; $470 per person or $430 ASM members ($270 / $230 tax
deductible)
      Existing museum collections are critically important resources that
present exciting opportunities for revealing new knowledge about the
archaeological record and infinite possibilities for teaching. Among ASM's
most important collections is the large and exquisitely documented
assemblage recovered during the 1940s and 1950s, as a result of the
archaeological field school at Point of Pines Pueblo on the San Carlos
Apache Indian Reservation. It was there that Emil Haury, then ASM director,
encountered what is now thought of as the best-documented case of
prehistoric migration in the U.S. Southwest. Maverick Mountain Series
pottery, made locally by immigrants from the Kayenta region of far
northeastern Arizona and southeastern Utah, was first described at Point of
Pines and helped to tell this migration story. Unfortunately, the
collections resulting from these important excavations were never fully
analyzed nor published, so this summer camp will help toward that goal. For
the past three years, current ASM Director Dr. Patrick Lyons, assisted by
graduate students and community volunteers, has been systematically
re-examining the more than 800 whole pottery vessels and hundreds of boxes
of sherds from this site. Camp Director Dr. Patrick D. Lyons is director of
the ASM and an associate professor in the School of Anthropology at the
University of Arizona. His goals for this project include addressing
questions about the immigrants at Point of Pines, improving the type
descriptions for the Maverick Mountain Series pottery, refining the
chronology of Point of Pines Pueblo and nearby late prehistoric sites based
on the artifact collections, learning more about the distribution and dating
of Roosevelt Red Ware ("Salado polychrome”) pottery, and comparing Point of
Pines Pueblo with the four other large, late prehistoric period pueblos in
the Arizona mountains (Kinishba, Tundastusa, Grasshopper, and Q-Ranch).
Educational offerings will include lectures on ancient ceramic technology
and Southwestern archaeological ceramic typology, behind-the-scenes tours of
the Pottery Vault and other collections storage areas, and hands-on training
in ceramic analysis.

Sunday July 31, 2016: Online
      “Crowdfunding project to preserve Chaco outlier site” sponsored by The
Archaeological Conservancy online*
            Please join in the excitement of saving the endangered Holmes
Group Chaco outlier archaeological site by making your contribution no later
than Sunday July 31 to help preserve the site! The Archaeological
Conservancy, which is the only national, nonprofit organization that
identifies, acquires, and preserves the most significant archaeological
sites in the United States, seeks to acquire and preserve this significant
part of our nation’s prehistory. Over 35 years ago, the Conservancy became
aware of this spectacular yet endangered Chaco outlier, which is considered
one of the largest and most complex of all the Chaco-period occupation
sites. Despite some early looting, its features are still easily
identifiable, and the research potential is enormous, yet this site remains
under threat of looting, and oil and gas exploration until we can protect
it! You can help by donating  now at
www.generosity.com/fundraisers/holmes-group-archaeological-project
<http://www.generosity.com/fundraisers/holmes-group-archaeological-project> 
            * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. Since its
beginning in 1980, The Archaeological Conservancy has preserved over 500
sites across the nation, ranging in age from the earliest habitation sites
in North America to a 19th-century frontier army post. For more information

August 5-7, 2016: Near Alpine, AZ
      “2016 Pecos Archaeological Conference” in the Apache-Sitgreaves
National Forest (sorta) near Alpine, Arizona*
      Times TBA. Registration $50/person (student $40); optional add $20 for
Saturday evening dinner & dance, extra costs for Conference memorabilia 
      Nearly every August since 1927 archaeologists have gathered under open
skies somewhere in the southwestern United States or northwestern Mexico for
the Pecos Conference. They set up a large tent for shade, and then spend
three or more days together discussing recent research, problems of the
field, and the challenges of the profession. In recent years, Native
Americans, avocational archaeologists, the general public and media
organizations have come to speak with the archaeologists. These individuals
and groups play an increasingly important role, as participants and as
audience, helping professional archaeologists celebrate archaeological
research and to mark cultural continuity. Archaeologist Brian Kenny adds, “I
really hate to tell you this, but to avoid any later regret, you'll actually
need to bring your fishing gear and valid AZGF fishing license.”
      This year’s conference site is at Lat. 33.752532, Long. -109.414836
approximately 25 miles southwest of Alpine, Arizona, west of the PS Knoll
Lookout Tower. From Alpine take Three Forks Road, Forest Roads 276 and 25
for approx 1 hr 24 min and turn left on FR 25G.

Wednesday August 10, 2016: Winslow, AZ
      "Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability" free presentation by Allen Dart for Homolovi Chapter,
Arizona Archaeological Society, at Winslow Chamber of Commerce, 523 W.
Second St., Winslow, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
      7-8 p.m. Free 
      The deep time perspective that archaeology and related disciplines
provide about natural hazards, environmental change, and human adaptation
not only is a valuable supplement to historical records, it sometimes
contradicts historical data used by modern societies to make decisions
affecting social sustainability and human safety. What can be learned from
scientific evidence that virtually all prehistoric farming cultures in
Arizona and the Southwest eventually surpassed their thresholds of
sustainability, leading to collapse or reorganization of their societies?
Could the disastrous damages to nuclear power plants damaged by the Japanese
tsunami of 2011 have been avoided if the engineers who decided where to
build those plants had not ignored evidence of prehistoric tsunamis? This
presentation looks at archaeological, geological, and
sustainable-agricultural evidence on environmental changes and how human
cultures have adapted to those changes, and discusses the value of a "beyond
history" perspective for modern society. The program is made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

Wednesday September 14, 2016: Cave Creek, AZ
      “It’s All About Scale: Polity and Alliance in Prehistoric Central
Arizona” free presentation by archaeologist David R. Abbott for Desert
Foothills Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at Good Shepherd of the
Hills Episcopal Church’s Community Building, 6502 E. Cave Creek Rd, Cave
Creek, Arizona*
      7 p.m. reception and socialization; program begins approximately 7:30
p.m. Free
      The Pueblo IV period (ca. A.D. 1275-1400) in the American Southwest
was characterized by political upheaval and population distributions for
defense. It has been suggested that in central Arizona a large-scale
confederation, the “Verde Confederacy,” may have arisen in the Verde
River-to-Perry Mesa region for purposes of warfare against Hohokam enemies
to the south. Atop Perry Mesa, large pueblos may have been strategically
built for defensive purposes to protect residents of other settlements and
block access along all routes to the mesa top. But did the Verde Confederacy
truly exist?  Arizona State University Associate Professor David R. Abbott
examines multiple lines of evidence to address this question.

Thursday September 15, 2016: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “A Boot in the Door: Pioneer Women
Archaeologists of Arizona” with Dr. Nancy Parezo at El Molinito Mexican
Restaurant, 10180 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities
      6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu) 
      The men who explored Arizona are legends in the history of the region
and of anthropology, but what about the women who accompanied them or
explored by themselves? Did you know that Matilda Coxe Stevenson was a
member of the first official government survey of Canyon de Chelly or that
Emma Mindeleff surveyed ruins in the Verde Valley while Theresa Russell
helped her husband locate Hohokam sites? Probably not, for none are listed
in “official” histories. Learn about the hidden pioneer archaeologists of
the 19th century and honor Arizona’s unsung heroines of science. Dr. Nancy
Parezo is a Professor of American Indian Studies and Anthropology at the
University of Arizona and an Associate Curator of Ethnology at the Arizona
State Museum. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.
      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.
on the Wednesday before the program date.

      "Thirty Years into Yesterday: A History of Grasshopper Archaeology"
free presentation by Professor J. Jefferson Reid for Arizona Archaeological
and Historical Society (AAHD) meeting at Banner University Medical Center
DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson*
      7:30-9 p.m. Free
      Research conducted during the University of Arizona Archaeological
Field School at Grasshopper Pueblo continues to expand and give us exciting
stories of life and death at this 500-room pueblo on the Fort Apache Indian
Reservation. As this month’s guest speaker Jeff Reid and co-author Stephanie
Whittlesey have discussed in their several books on Grasshopper, no
archaeological enterprise in the Southwest can match the field school's
contributions to method, theory, and prehistory. This presentation
highlights some of the most interesting interpretations that Grasshopper
researchers have made over the years.

      In this presentation Mr. Dart shows and discusses Native American
ceramic styles that characterized specific eras in the U.S. Southwest prior
to about 1450, and talks about how archaeologists use pottery for dating
archaeological sites and interpreting ancient lifeways. He discusses the
importance of context in archaeology, how the things people make change in
style over time, and how different styles are useful for identifying
different cultures and for dating archaeological sites. His many
illustrations include examples of ancient pottery types made throughout the
American Southwest from about 2000 to 500 years ago.

Wednesday October 12, 2016: Cave Creek, AZ
      “From Rock Art Ranch to Homol’ovi: 13,000 Years of Migration in the
Middle Little Colorado River Valley” free presentation by archaeologist E.
Charles Adams for Desert Foothills Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society,
at Good Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church’s Community Building, 6502 E.
Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek, Arizona*
      7 p.m. reception and socialization; program begins approximately 7:30
p.m. Free
      Six years of research on Rock Art Ranch near Winslow, Arizona, by
Arizona State Museum archaeologists have documented human use going back to
Clovis times. The ranch was also a focus of intensive hunting, gathering,
and small-scale agriculture during the Basketmaker II (early agriculture)
period from 1000 BC to AD 500. During the 1200s Mogollon groups from the
south built numerous small pueblos throughout the region and later joined
Pueblo groups from the north to build and occupy the large Homol’ovi pueblos
along the Little Colorado River. Evidence of this lengthy use is etched in
the walls of Chevelon Canyon. Speaker Chuck Adams traces this fascinating
history of population movement that truly made the area a cultural
crossroads.

Workshop” with Andy Ward at Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, 2201 W. 44th
Street, just west of La Cholla Blvd., ½-mile north of John F. Kennedy Park,
Tucson
      2 to 5 p.m. each Sunday October 16, 23, & 30, and November 6, 2016;
Fee $79 ($63.20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo Grande Museum
Auxiliary members) includes all materials
      Maverick Mountain polychrome pottery can be traced to Ancestral Pueblo
people who began migrating south into southern Arizona in the thirteenth
century bringing their pottery traditions with them. The Maverick Mountain
series pottery found in southern Arizona closely resembles Tsegi Orange Ware
pottery of northern Arizona in technology and decorations. In the course of
this workshop students will process raw materials, form pottery using the
coil-and-scrape method, slip, polish and paint pottery using authentic
materials, tools and techniques, then we will fire our pottery outdoors in a
mesquite bonfire. Students will leave with a better understanding of the
methods used to create prehistoric polychrome pottery and authentic pottery
reproductions that they made themselves. Schedule: Day 1, construct pottery;
day 2, scrape, slip and polish; day 3, paint decorations; day 4, firing.
Minimum class size 7, maximum 12. Reservations deadline 5 p.m. Wednesday

Thursday October 20, 2016: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “When Romans Visited Tucson: The Lead
Cross Controversy” with archaeologist Dr. Todd W. Bostwick at U-Like
Oriental Buffet, 5101 N. Oracle Rd., Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities 
      6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu) 
      In 1924-1925, a collection of unusual lead artifacts which contained
mysterious inscriptions were discovered deeply buried near Silverbell Road
in Tucson. These artifacts — crosses, crescents, batons, swords, and spears
— generated considerable interest around the world when it was learned that
the inscriptions contained Christian, Muslim, Hebraic, and Freemasonry
symbols. The artifacts were initially interpreted as evidence that Europeans
had come to America hundreds of years before Columbus, but some scholars
questioned their authenticity. This talk tells the story of their discovery
and the controversies that continue to surround them. This program is made
possible by Arizona Humanities. 
      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

Wednesday November 9, 2016: Cave Creek, AZ
      “The Megalithic Temples and Tombs of Malta: Early Religion and Ritual
in the Mediterranean, 3600-2500 BC” free presentation by archaeologist Todd
W. Bostwick for Desert Foothills Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, at
Good Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church’s Community Building, 6502 E.
Cave Creek Rd, Cave Creek, Arizona*
      7 p.m. reception and socialization; program begins approximately 7:30
p.m. Free
      Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and south of Sicily,
the islands of Malta and Gozo contain some of the oldest Megalithic temples
and tombs in the world. As early as 5000 BC prehistoric people were farming
and raising livestock on the islands, and by 3600 BC they built megalithic
temples with astronomical features and carved chambered tombs out of solid
bedrock.  The presence of a variety of stone and clay figurines of plump
females suggest they practiced an Earth Mother cult.  The origins of these
ancient people remain a mystery, as does their disappearance around 2500 BC.
Dr. Bostwick provides numerous photos of these temples, tombs, and figurines
and discusses current ideas about their religion and ritual practices.

Thursday December 15, 2016: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “Epics of the American Southwest: Hopi,
Diné and Hispanic Narratives of Heroes and Heroines in Mythic Literature” by
Dr. Sharonah Fredrick at ****place, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities 
      6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu) 
      Too often the claim is heard that there is very little ancient history
or literature in the United States. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Whether it is the Hopi epics of the wanderings of Long Sash and the exploits
of the Koshare twins; the Navajo legends that connect the cultures of the
Southwest with the great late-Medieval stories of Toltec-Aztec Mexcio; or
the adventures of Spanish men and women who deserted Francisco de Coronado’s
expedition in protest over Coronado’s treatment of the Native peoples,
Arizona and the whole American Southwest are a treasure trove of epic
narratives. This lecture stresses the social and moral messages transmitted
in these oral and written texts. This program is made possible by Arizona
Humanities. 
      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

Saturday December 17, 2016: Payson, AZ
      "Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians" free
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for the Rim Country Chapter,
Arizona Archaeological Society, at Fellowship Hall of the Church of the Holy
Nativity, 1414 Easy Street, Payson; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
      10-11:30 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, interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran Desert
for centuries, and explaining why their 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, time reckoning, religious practices,
beliefs, and deities, and possible reasons for the eventual demise of their
way of life, using rich illustrations of Hohokam artifacts, rock art, and
other cultural features. The program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

oak woodland just below Baboquivari Peak. After lunch we will take a
moderate-difficulty, two-mile-roundtrip, 1,000-foot-elevation-difference
hike up a trail that leads halfway up the peak, to visit a cave site
traditionally believed to be one of the homes of the deity I’itoi. Finally,
we will visit Picture Rock, a small butte that contains petroglyphs and
pictographs, bedrock mortars, and ancient artifacts. Modern Tohono O’odham
offerings may be present in some of the visited locations. Artifact
collecting is not permitted, and photos are not allowed in the cave but are
OK outside of it. Registrants may either meet the tour group at 8 a.m.
Saturday in Tucson and car-caravan onto the reservation, or may camp in
Baboquivari Camp on their own the night before the field trip and meet the

(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
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.
