RESERVATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY APRIL 16 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center's Thursday April 17, 2014, 6 to 8:30 p.m. "Third Thursday Food for
Thought" dinner featuring the presentation "Shell Jewelry and Ornaments in
the Ancient Southwest" by archaeologist Arthur W. Vokes at Dragon's View
Asian Cuisine, 400 N. Bonita Ave., Tucson. The pre-Contact cultures of the
Southwest have a rich tradition in the use of shell, stone, and other
mediums to create personal jewelry and other ornaments. These traditions
varied in terms of types and motifs over time and across space. This
presentation will focus on the nature of this variation and discuss possible
causes of the observed patterns across these different dimensions, focusing
on ancient southwestern shell ornaments. Arthur Vokes, Old Pueblo's guest
speaker for this month's program, is Archaeological Collections Curator at
the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona. He has spent many years
researching the nature of personal ornamentation across the varied cultures
of the pre-Contact period in the American Southwest and northwestern Mexico.
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 April 16.
