RESERVATION DEADLINES FOR OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER EVENTS
 
        5 P.M. WEDNESDAY MARCH 18 IS THE DEADLINE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS for
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's Thursday March 19 "Third Thursday Food for
Thought" dinner featuring "Subjective Color in Mimbres Black-on-white
Pottery" free presentation by archaeologist Dr. Stephanie M. Whittlesey at
Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant, 5252 S. Mission Rd., Tucson
                6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the
restaurant's menu at your expense) 
                Many Mimbres black-on-white geometric designs produce the
illusion of color when rotated rapidly, much like the subjective-color
hallucination that has been known in the psychology of perception for more
than a century. Subjective color is one of numerous neurophysiologically
induced visual hallucinations that are universal in human beings and are
produced by epilepsy, migraines, hallucinogens, certain diseases, and other
causes. In her presentation for Old Pueblo, Dr. Stephanie Whittlesey will
describe the phenomenon and the design characteristics that produce it,
discuss similar visual hallucinations in the scientific literature, suggest
that some of the designs may have been created by shamans based on visions
they had experienced during trances and shamanic journeys, and speculate on
the contribution of subjective color to Mimbres ritual organization. 
        Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the
Wednesday before the program date:  <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
