(1) JANUARY 2015 OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY BULLETIN NOW AVAILABLE

 

Did you know that President Ulysses S. Grant established a Chiricahua Apache
Indian Reservation in Arizona on December 14, 1872, only to dissolve it on
October 30, 1876? (See
http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/Vol1/HTML_files/ARI0801.html#az.)
In the January 2015 issue of the Old Pueblo Archaeology bulletin, which is
now available, Cochise College history and anthropology instructor Rebecca
Orozco reviews Chiricahua Apache history in the Southwest in her feature
article, “Searching for Geronimo: My Journeys with the Chiricahua Apache.”
She also describes her involvement with the Chiricahuas since 1986 when they
commemorated the centennial of Geronimo’s final surrender. A second article
in this issue discusses and illustrates examples of “true pithouses” and
“house-in-pit pithouses” found in archaeological sites in the American
Southwest. 

 

Like every issue, this latest edition of Old Pueblo Archaeology is written
in a nontechnical format, includes ample illustrations, and is published
electronically in pdf format for on-line access. Each issue of Old Pueblo
Archaeology includes one or more feature articles about southwestern
archaeology, history, or cultures and provides news about Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center's activities and program offerings. Links to previous
issues of the bulletin are posted on our web site at
http://www.oldpueblo.org/about-us/publications/. Check out that page to get

Wednesday January 7, 2015: Phoenix

            “Ancient Native American Astronomical Practices” free
presentation by Kenneth Zoll, sponsored by the nonprofit Pueblo Grande
Museum Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park,
4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix** 

            7:30-9 p.m. Free 

            This presentation by Kenneth Zoll, Executive Director of the
Verde Valley Archaeology Center, describes the diverse ways in which
prehistoric Native American cultures perceived and integrated the objects in
the sky into their worldview. Throughout history, the ability of a people to
survive has been tied to environmental conditions. The skill to predict the
seasons was an essential element in the ability to “control” those
conditions. Seasonal calendars became the foundation of early cultures for
hunting and gathering, planting and harvesting, worshiping and celebrating.
The goal of cultural astronomy is to understand how these early skywatchers
fashioned and refined systems for regulating their calendars around
celestial events, both cyclical and unique. This free event is made possible
by Arizona Humanities and PGMA. Donations are welcome.

      ** This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event,
however, Old Pueblo members can attend PGMA functions at PGMA‘s
member-discount rates, and vice-versa. No reservations are needed. For

Tuesday January 13, 2015: Tucson

            “Celebrating American Indian Arts from Denver to New York—and
Beyond” illustrated talk by Nancy Blomberg at the Arizona State Museum
(ASM), University of Arizona, 1013 E University Blvd, Tucson*

            7-8 p.m. Free

            Prior to the early 20th century, native arts often went
unrecognized by art museums and were primarily collected in natural history
or science museums as cultural artifacts. Several key scholars, collectors,
and curators, however, worked vigorously to change that prevalent attitude.
This talk by Nancy Blomberg, chief curator and curator of native arts at the
Denver Art Museum, will examine early landmark exhibitions, ground-breaking
educational outreach programs, and extensive publication efforts led by such
museums as the Denver Art Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. These key
efforts to promote the understanding and appreciation of American Indian art
as fine art—not artifact—greatly influenced the direction of American
museology today. A reception will follow the lecture and will feature
examples from ASM’s native clothing and doll collections. This presentation
is made possible by the generosity of Arnold and Doris Roland. Lecture and
reception hosted by Friends of the ASM Collections.

Thursday January 15, 2015: Tucson

            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” dinner featuring the presentation  “Underpinnings of Southern
Arizona Historical Archaeology: The Historical Record” by historian Jim
Turner at Dragon's View Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Avenue, Tucson

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

            Approximately 60 percent of southern Arizona’s pre-1964 Historic
period spanned the Spanish Colonial and Mexican periods when Spain, and
subsequently Mexico, granted large parcels of land in this region to a few
individuals to encourage non-Indian settlement and extraction of resources.
When the U.S. took over the territory, grantees’ heirs or purchasers (or
claimants) were able to petition the U.S. Government to recognize the
historic grants in the hope that the U.S. would give title to the grant
lands to the purchasers/claimants. Historian Jim Turner shows that the
history of southern Arizona land grants is essentially the history of water
use, that is, the land grants provide a kind of key to which portions of the
Gadsden Purchase area (the part of Arizona south of the Gila River) were the
most favorable for Spanish, Mexican, and later U.S. settlement. Because much
of the Spanish and Mexican settlement of southern Arizona was associated
with the land grants, they figure importantly in the historical archaeology
of this region. Archaeologists therefore need to be well-versed in the land
grant history of southern Arizona to understand and interpret the Spanish
Colonial, Mexican period, and even Territorial period archaeological sites. 

      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.
Wednesday January 14.

Sunday January 18, 2015: Tubac, AZ

            “The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments”
presentation by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour at Tubac Presidio State
Historic Park, 1 Presidio Drive, Tubac, Arizona*

            2-3 p.m. Free with regular park entry fee

            Recent research provides evidence of ancestral Apaches in the
southern Southwest at least as early as the A.D. 1300s. Some of this
evidence comes from chronometric dates obtained from a feature type that
comparative ethnographic information (including rarely used land claims
documents) indicates were used for storage. These features, called platform
caches, provide rare and ideal material for accurate dating because they are
often covered with grass or leaves. Dates from these features, on Apache
pottery, and from roasting pits, all in direct association with Apache
material culture of other types (including rock art), provide a continuous
sequence of use from at least as early as the A.D. 1300s through the late
1700s. New information about a western Athapaskan migration route south to
this region is combined with other evidence regarding the presence of the
earliest ancestral Apache three centuries earlier than many have argued,
even in areas where Coronado did not see them.

Mondays January 19-February 9, 2015: Sun City West, AZ

            "Archaeology, Cultures, and Ancient Arts of Southern Arizona"
adult education class for Recreation Centers of Sun City West in the R. H.
Johnson Recreation Center, 19803 R. H. Johnson Blvd., Sun City West, Arizona

            Every Monday Jan. 19 & 26 and Feb. 2 & 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. Fee
$35

            In this four-session class on Tuesday evenings, Allen Dart, a
Registered Professional Archaeologist and volunteer director of the Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center in Tucson, will provide information about the
archaeology and cultures of Ar­i­zona and the Southwest, focusing on the
arts and material cul­ture of southern Arizona's prehistoric peoples. The
first ses­sion, "Archaeology and Cultures of Arizona," will sum­marize and
interpret the archaeology of Arizona from the ear­liest "Paleoindians"
through Archaic period hunters and fora­gers, the transition to true village
life, and the later prehistoric archaeological cultures (Puebloan, Mogollon,
Sinagua, Hoho­kam, Salado, and Patayan). Mr. Dart also will relate the
ar­chae­ological cultures to the Native American, European, Mex­ican,
African, and Asian peoples who have been part of our state's more recent
history. In Session 2, "Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam
Indians," artifacts, archi­tecture, and other material culture of southern
Arizona's an­cient Hohokam culture are illustrated and discussed. The arts
and culture that the Hohokam left behind provide archaeolo­gists with clues
for interpreting 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. Session 3, "Ancient Native American
Pottery of Sou­thern Arizona," focuses on some of the Native American
cer­amic styles that characterized specific eras in southern Arizo­na
prehistory and history, and discusses how archaeologists use pottery for
dating archaeological sites and interpreting an­cient lifeways of the
ancient Early Ceramic and Hohokam cul­tures, and of the historical Piman
(Tohono O'odham and Aki­mel O'odham), Yuman (including Mohave and Maricopa),
and Apachean peoples. Finally, in Session 4, "Set in Stone but Not in
Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art," Mr. Dart illus­trates pictographs
(rock paintings) and petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) found
in the Southwest, and dis­cusses how even the same rock art symbol may be
interpreted differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native
Amer­ican perspectives.

Monday January 19, 2015: Tucson

      “Searching for Golden Empires: Epic Cultural Collisions in 16th
Century America” free presentation by William K. Hartmann at Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society meeting, University Medical Center
DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson*

            7:30-9 p.m. Free

            This talk, based on Hartmann’s new book Searching for Golden
Empires (University of Arizona Press, 2014) traces Spanish explorations in
the 1500s, from Mexico City northward through Sonora and Arizona, all the
way to Kansas. Coronado’s famous 1540 expedition was a race with Cortés, who
was sending his ships north on the “Sea of Cortés.” In our area, Coronado
chroniclers used recognizable place names (“Valle de Senora,” “Arispe”) and
camped at the western base of the Chiricahua Mountains, then traveled north
to “Cíbola” (the pueblo of Zuni, in western New Mexico). New linguistic
evidence suggests the modern name for the Chiricahua Mountains (Opata for
“Turkey Mountain”) derives from a name recorded in 1540 for those mountains,
“Chichiltiecally” (phonetically close to Opata for “mountain of many
turkeys”). A side trip across Arizona from Cibola produced the first written
records of the Hopi pueblos and the Grand Canyon. Meanwhile, a seaward half
of the expedition explored the Colorado River and entered the lower Gila
River near Yuma. New finds of Coronado artifacts (even in southeastern
Arizona) clarify the Coronado route, indicating locales of indigenous towns
and describing native clothing and lifeways in the last day of prehistory.
The records include remarkable “news networks” over distances of 500 miles.
For example, Marcos de Niza, in central Sonora, interviewed villagers who
had worked in Zuni, and Expedition ships near Yuma received news from native
travelers, describing the arrival of the Spaniards in Cíbola/Zuni only 2-4
months before.

Wednesday February 4, 2015: Phoenix

            “Arizona’s Historic Trading Posts” free presentation by author
Carolyn O’Bagy Davis, sponsored by the nonprofit Pueblo Grande Museum
Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, 4619 E.
Washington St., Phoenix** 

            7:30-9 p.m. Free 

            Early traders traveled through Arizona Territory, selling goods
from their wagons, but they soon built stores that evolved into trading and
social centers where wool, sheep, and Native arts were exchanged for sugar
and salt, pots, pans, bridles, and saddles. Navajo trading posts are best
known, but trading posts existed on every reservation in Arizona. Traders
became the intermediaries between Native peoples and the outside world,
providing not only hard goods, but other services including translation,
correspondence, and transportation. Trading posts also became destinations
for artists, authors, movie stars, and tourists. Although trading posts have
mostly disappeared today, they remain a romantic and historic part of our
great Southwest. This event is free and open to the public, made possible by
Arizona Humanities and PGMA. Donations are welcome.

            ** This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event,
however, Old Pueblo members can attend PGMA functions at PGMA‘s
member-discount rates, and vice-versa. No reservations are needed. For

events. This year’s event at Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park will
include displays by archaeological and historical organizations, museums,
Native American tribes, state and federal agencies, and others, allowing
visitors to participate as archaeologists might in their research today, or
make crafts and tools that teach how prehistoric Native Americans and other
early inhabitants survived in the Southwest.  Cultural and historical
demonstrations, talks by archaeologists, and interactive activities will
help make the past come alive, and tours of local rock art and pueblo
archaeological sites will be offered. Free-prize raffles will occur
throughout the day.

Wednesday March 11, 2015: Queen Creek, AZ

            "Archaeology's Deep Time Perspective on Environment and Social
Sustainability" free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Arizona
Archaeological Society, San Tan Chapter, at Queen Creek Museum, 20435 S. Old
Ellsworth Road (southeast corner of Ellsworth and Queen Creek Roads), Queen
Creek Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*

            7:30 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. This program was made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

            "Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians"
free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart at Copper Queen Library, 6
Main St., Bisbee, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*

            5:30-6:30 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. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities..

Thursday March 19, 2015: Tucson

            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s  “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” dinner featuring the presentation  “Arizona State Museum Research
at Rock Art Ranch: Filling in Space and Time” by Richard C. Lange at
Dragon’s View Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Avenue (just west of the Santa
Cruz River between St. Mary's Rd. & Congress St.)

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

            In the mid-1980s a consortium of concerned archaeologists,
agencies, tribal representatives, and citizens met to protect the ancestral
Hopi villages called “Homol’ovi” near Winslow in northeastern Arizona. The
plan focused on protecting the sites from further vandalism, and resulted in
the designation of Homol’ovi State Park and the founding of the Homol’ovi
Research Program (HRP) at the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona
(ASM).  Between 1984 and 2006, HRP surveyed the park area (approximately 20
square miles) and excavated in 6 of the 7 pueblos recognized as part of this
Pueblo IV (AD 1300s) settlement cluster. However, the HRP’s recent research
in the Rock Art Ranch area just 20 miles south of Homol’ovi resulted in a
complete surprise, showing very different histories and settlement patterns
just within this small region. Guest Speaker Rich Lange, Associate Director
the ASM HRP, discusses the findings of this fascinating research project.

            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. Wednesday March 18.

Saturday and Sunday April 11 & 12, & Sunday April 19, 2015: Tucson

      "Ancient Native American Pottery Replication Workshop: Corrugated Ware
of the Mogollon Culture" taught by ceramist 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.

            9 a.m. to noon & 1-4 p.m. on first two days; 9 a.m. to noon on
second Sunday. Fee $70 ($56 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Pueblo
Grande Museum Auxiliary members); each participant must provide a small
water bowl, hand towel, & 2 plastic grocery bags; clay & all other class
materials are provided.

            In this workshop students will explore and authentically
recreate corrugated pottery as it was made by the prehistoric Mogollon
culture. Mogollon corrugated pottery is sometimes overlooked because it is
not flashy like polished and painted pottery types, but a close examination
reveals an elegance of form and sophisticated techniques used in
construction. Workshop participants will learn the history of these pottery
types and experience the entire process of reproducing them from processing
raw materials, to hand coiling vessels, culminating in an authentic outdoor
pottery firing. This workshop will take place over the course of one weekend
during which the pots are created completely then left to dry, followed
later by a Sunday morning in which we will fire all the pottery produced.
Each participant will leave with a beautiful, authentic, finished
reproduction of a prehistoric corrugated pot. Any participants who are
unable to attend the later firing can arrange to have their pots fired and
shipped to them (student pays for shipping).

            Instructor Andy Ward is a diligent student of  southwestern
prehistory and archaeology who has worked with archaeologists to locate
resources in field surveys and in excavations. He began working to reproduce
prehistoric pottery while still in high school and has successfully
recreated many of the prehistoric pottery types of southern Arizona.

Tuesday-Thursday April 14-16, 2015: SONORA

            “Kino Missions Tour: Celebrating El Día de los Muertos”
sponsored by Southwestern Mission Research Center (SMRC) in northern Sonora,
Mexico*

      $495 per person includes transportation, lodging (double occupancy),
and meals

      More than 300 years ago, a tireless Jesuit priest by the name of
Eusebio Francisco Kino made countless forays on horseback throughout much of
what is now the northern Mexican state of Sonora and Arizona. Father Kino
brought with him ideas and material culture – chiefly the Christian faith,
the Spanish language, cattle, and crops – that would change the region
deeply and forever. 

      Join SMRC in retracing the steps of Kino and the missionaries who
followed him, guided by scholars and enthusiasts who know and love the
region and volunteer their time to share it with others. Along the way
you’ll stand in awe before the evocative church ruins of Cocóspera and Átil,
marvel at the mysteries of the spectral paintings on the church walls at
Pitiquito, delight in the exuberance of Magdalena, take in the simple beauty
of Oquitoa, and bask in the rosy glow on the setting sun as it reflects off
the twin towers of Caborca’s mission. You’ll take a side trip into
prehistory with a visit to the archaeological site of Trincheras and its new
museum. You’ll lunch al fresco near the river at Tubutama, and in the shade
of quince trees watered by the centuries-old acequia just across from San
Ignacio’s church. And at day’s end, you’ll savor dinner and margaritas on
the patio of SMRC’s host hotel. 

      Best of all, you’ll have many opportunities to meet the open and
friendly people of Sonora – whose traditions, language, and ethnicity
combine the region’s Native and Spanish cultures, representing the best of
both worlds. And on this special El Día de los Muertos weekend you’ll
experience the festive spirit with which they honor and cherish their dearly
departed. 

      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For reservations

Thursday April 16, 2015: Tucson

            Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for
Thought” dinner featuring the presentation “The Billingsley Hopi Dancers” by
Kenneth Zoll at ****[restaurant to be announced], Tucson; cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities 

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

             In 1921 the Hopi were told that “church people”  petitioned
Congress to stop their “pagan” dancing. A platform was erected on the U.S.
Capitol steps where both Houses of Congress assembled with their families to
see the Hopi dancers. Following the performance, Congress passed a
Resolution giving the Hopi permission to carry on their dancing “for all
time.” The dancers continued to perform  culminating in performances at
Carnegie Hall in 1955. The Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Hopi Tribe
jointly received a grant to preserve a rare 1957 film of the dancers. This
presentation provides background and shows the film. 

            Kenneth Zoll is the Executive Director of the Verde Valley
Archaeology Center in Camp Verde. He is also a site steward with the Arizona
State Historic Preservation Office, and a volunteer docent at cultural
heritage sites in the Coconino National Forest. He has conducted extensive
fieldwork in cultural astronomy of the Southwest and is a certified
instructor in cultural astronomy with the Arizona Archaeological Society.
Zoll is the author of several popular books on cultural astronomy and rock
art in Central Arizona, as well as several cultural astronomy articles in
professional publications. 

            This program was 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
