1. AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE TOHONO O’ODHAM (PAPAGO INDIANS),
REVISED EDITION
compiled by Bernard L. Fontana with the assistance of Michael U. Owens and
Anita Badertscher
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center is delighted to announce that this annotated
bibliography compiled by University of Arizona ethnographer and librarian
Bernard L. “Bunny” Fontana starting in 1956 is now hosted on Old Pueblo’s
<http://www.oldpueblo.org/links/> http://www.oldpueblo.org/links/ web page.
This document includes sources on Mission San Xavier del Bac as well as
Spanish and Mexican-period histories of the “Pimería Alta” (the traditional
Tohono O’odham homeland in southern Arizona and the Mexican state of
Sonora). It was originally published electronically on the Tumacácori
National Historical Park (NHP) website in 2005 and credited Michael U. Owens
for his assistance in the compilation. Shortly after it first went online,
Bunny requested submittals of additional entries for the bibliography in a
message posted on the Arizona Archaeological Council’s email listserve, but
once he started receiving new entries he and the Tumacácori NHP folks had
difficulty figuring out a way to keep the National Park Service (NPS) online
version updated because Bunny had compiled the bibliography file using a
different word-processing software than was by then being used by NPS.
Nonetheless, Fontana continued to provide new entries to Tumacácori NHP
before he passed away in 2016. In 2017, Tumacácori NHP lost its online
versions of the bibliography and other documents as it changed its website
to meet new NPS requirements. In March 2018, Tumacácori
NHP Chief of Interpretation Anita Badertscher added all of the post-2005
entries that Bunny had provided to Tumacácori NHP, and in March 2018 she
provided the revised file to Old Pueblo Archaeology Center with Tumacácori
NHP’s permission to host the updated bibliography on Old Pueblo’s website.
Anita’s updates are included in this revised version of the bibliography,
which has since been restored to the Tumacácori NHP website, so it is now
available at both <http://www.oldpueblo.org/links/>
http://www.oldpueblo.org/links/
and <https://www.nps.gov/applications/tuma/bibliography/>
https://www.nps.gov/applications/tuma/bibliography/.
(2) “WHO ARE THE SOBAÍPURI O’ODHAM?” PROJECT VIDEO NOW ONLINE
The “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham?” video that was created with assistance
of Arizona Humanities’ $5,000 grant to Old Pueblo Archaeology Center in 2017
is now accessible for free viewing online at
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4khqVQOPw8w>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4khqVQOPw8w. Project Director Dr. Deni J.
Seymour and Wa:k O’odham Community members Tony Burrell and David Tenario
gave a presentation that featured this video for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center's "Third Thursday Food for Thought" program in November 2017 and at
several other venues on and off of the Tohono O’odham and San Xavier Indian
Reservations with assistance from the Arizona Humanities grant. The video
summarizes the uniqueness of the Wa:k (San Xavier) Community in the O’odham
culture of southern Arizona and northern Mexico. Check it out!

“The Galisteo Basin and Cerrillos Hills” lecture by Paul Secord
sponsored by Friends of Tijeras Pueblo at Sandia Ranger Station, 11776 Hwy
337, Tijeras, New Mexico*
6:30 p.m. Friends of Tijeras Pueblo members free; $5 donation
requested of nonmembers
Within the Galisteo region are a number of large pueblos that
were occupied between A.D. 1275 and 1550, including Shé, Colorado, Blanco,
Arroyo Hondo, San Marcos, Largo, San Cristóbal, Las Madres, San Lazaro,
Galisteo, and Piedra. None of these sites have been fully excavated. In
recognizing the unique qualities and tremendous significance of the sites in
the area, Congress passed the Galisteo Basin Archaeological Sites Protection
Act in 2004, which calls for the identification and protection of
archaeological sites in the greater Galisteo region. This talk, based on a
chapter of Paul R. Secord and Homer E. Milford's recent Arcadia Press book
The Galisteo Basin and Cerrillos Hills, will include photographs from Nels
Christian Nelson’s 1912 excavations, many of which have never been
published, plus information on Bertha Dutton, who designed and coordinated a
summer camp program for the Girl Scouts of America and the Museum of New
Mexico that ran from 1946 through 1957 - turning into a full-scale field
school at Pueblo Largo in 1951.

Thursday April 19, 2018: Tucson
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “Phoenix Underground: Archaeological
Excavations at the Hohokam Village of La Villa” by archaeologist Dr. Michael
Lindeman at Karichimaka Mexican Restaurant, 5252 S. Mission Road (just south
of Irvington Rd.), Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
During two archaeological excavation sessions in 2010-2014,
archaeologists from Desert Archaeology, Inc., looked under the streets of
Phoenix to find the remarkably well-preserved remains of the Hohokam village
of La Villa. Just as this location was settled historically to engage in
farming, it was ideal for the prehistoric farmers who founded La Villa –
close to the rich farmland of the floodplain and the water of the Salt
River. Canals extending from the river watered crops that fed the Hohokam
and that in years of abundance produced surplus that could be traded for a
variety of goods. The La Villa excavations revealed nearly 500
archaeological features including 154 pithouses, 92 mortuary features and La
Villa’s eastern plaza, with evidence for occupation spanning nearly 400
years.
Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the
Wednesday before the program date: <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

“Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art” free
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart sponsored by Phoenix Public Library
at the Heard Museum, 2301 N. Central Ave., Phoenix; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities*
1-2 p.m. Free
Ancient Indian pictographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs (symbols
carved or pecked on rocks) are claimed by some to be forms of writing for
which meanings are known. But are such claims supported by archaeology or
by Native Americans themselves? Mr. Dart illustrates southwestern
petroglyphs and pictographs, and discusses how even the same rock art symbol
may be interpreted differently from popular, scientific, and modern Native
American perspectives. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“The Earliest Apache in Arizona: Evidence and Arguments” free
presentation by archaeologist Dr. Deni J. Seymour at the Smoki Museum, 147
N. Arizona St., Prescott, Arizona*
2 p.m. Free
How did the Apache impact late prehistoric peoples? Research provides
evidence of ancestral Apaches in the southern Southwest as early as A.D.
1300. Evidence comes from chronometric dates obtained from storage features
(covered with grass or leaves), on Apache pottery, and from roasting pits,
all in direct association with other types of Apache material culture. A
continuous sequence of use from the A.D. 1300s through the late 1700s
provides new insights into a western route into this region and the presence
of the earliest ancestral Apache three centuries earlier than previously
thought, even in areas where Coronado did not see them.Dr. Seymour is an
internationally recognized authority on protohistoric, Native American, and
Spanish colonial archaeology and ethno-history. For 30 years, she has
studied the Apache, Sobaipuri O’odham, and lesser-known mobile groups. She
has excavated Spanish presidios, numerous Kino-period missions, and several
indigenous sites. She works with indigenous groups, tackles the Coronado and
Niza expeditions, and is reworking the history of the pre-Spanish and
colonial period of the Southwest.

Saturday May 19, 2018: Green Valley, AZ
“Canoa Speaks O’odham” free lectures and video presentation at La
Posada at Park Center Madera Room, 350 E. Morningside Road, Green Valley,
Arizona; cosponsored by the Friends of Canoa, Arizona Humanities, and Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center
1-2:30 p.m. Free
Historically, the Canoa vicinity of the Santa Cruz River valley south
of San Xavier del Bac was an important stop for travelers, offering a
constant source of water in the dry Sonoran Desert. Historic maps from the
time of Father Kino (1690s) show a "water hole" in this valley segment and
later maps associate it with “canoas,” hollowed-out cottonwood logs used as
troughs to supply fresh drinking water. To date, very little historical
information has been shared about this region, which from early times had
been inhabited by Sobaípuri, Akimel, and Tohono O’odham who trace their
ancestry to the more ancient Hohokam and Middle Santa Cruz archaeological
cultures. In 2013, Pima County acquired the 4,800-acre property that
includes the historic Canoa Ranch and began efforts to restore the ranch
headquarters and open it to the public for tours, fostering a demand by the
public to know more about the region’s history. This year the Friends of
Canoa Heritage Foundation teamed with Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center to help meet this demand by producing a series of four
short “Canoa Speaks O’odham” video segments narrated in both English and the
O’odham native tongue, since language preservation is a key element for this
project. Each video shares rare insights into the traditions of the O’odham,
and combined cuts from each of the short videos have been incorporated into
a longer video that will be shown for the first time at this May 19 public

students
For the past fifteen years, this conference has brought together
preservationists from around Arizona to exchange ideas and success stories,
share perspectives and solutions to preservation issues, and foster
cooperation between Arizona's diverse preservation community. The theme of
this year's conference, "Design in the Desert," focuses on adaptations that
enabled prehistoric inhabitants, indigenous tribes, Euro-American settlers,
and all of their descendants to make a living in the Arizona deserts. From
the construction of Hohokam pithouses and canals to contemporary passive
solar residences and water harvesting technology, the desire to live
comfortably and sustainably in the desert has informed and shaped the built
environment of our state. The conference includes presentations of the
annual Governor's Heritage Preservation Honor Awards and the Governor's
Awards in Public Archaeology on June 7.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “Frida's Roots: Understanding the Course
of Mexican History through Frida Kahlo and Her Artwork” by Dr. Michael M.
Brescia at El Molinito Mexican Restaurant,10180 N. Oracle Rd., Oro Valley,
Arizona
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
As one of several artists to emerge from the violence and chaos of the
Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920, Frida Kahlo's lived experiences fashioned a
remarkable artistic talent that promoted across international borders
mexicanidad, or the spirit of a Mexican cultural identity. Despite living in
the professional shadows of her famous husband, the muralist Diego Rivera,
Frida added deeply personal elements to her artwork that simultaneously
reflected and contributed to historical understandings of Mexican culture.
In a richly illustrated PowerPoint presentation, Arizona State Museum
historian Dr. Michael Brescia will examine Frida Kahlo's life and show just
how intimately her artwork reveals the sweep of the Mexican historical
experience, from Pre-Columbian times to the mid-twentieth century.
Reservations must be requested AND CONFIRMED before 5 p.m. on the

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Marana Hohokam Platform Mound
Archaeological Community Tour” guided by archaeologists Paul and Suzanne
Fish departing from Circle K convenience store, 13961 N. Sandario Rd.,
Marana, Arizona
8:30 a.m to noon. $30 donation ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members)
University of Arizona archaeologists Dr. Paul R. Fish and Dr. Suzanne
K. Fish lead this tour to selected archaeological sites in one of southern
Arizona’s largest ancient Hohokam communities. Our visit will include the
Marana Platform Mound site (which was surrounded by 40+ residential
compounds), a sampling of agricultural field locations including specialized
ones for agave cultivation, and a secondary compound center on the
upper-basin slope of the Tortolita Mountains. The Marana Mound site is one
of the very few Hohokam Early Classic period (AD 1150-1300) villages that
has wholly escaped the destruction resulting from modern agriculture and
urbanization and where adobe-wall remnants can be clearly identified on the
surface. We also will visit the location where a segment of the nearly
seven-mile-long Marana Mound site canal was identified from surface and
excavated remains before that area was included in a modern housing
development. These site visits will provide a basis for understanding the
social and economic processes during the Early Classic period, when
processes of Hohokam centralization and population aggregation greatly
accelerated.
Tour is limited to 20 people including guides. Reservations and
donation prepayment required by 5 p.m. Thursday October 4. 520-798-1201 or

Thursday October 18, 2018: Tucson
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “In Search of the First Americans across
the Greater Southwest” by archaeologist Dr. Vance T. Holliday at U-Like
Oriental Buffet Restaurant, 5101 N. Oracle Road, Tucson
6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu)
The First Americans – the so-called “Paleoindians” – were the earliest
hunters and gatherers to settle in the southwestern U.S. and northwestern
Mexico. They lived at a time when the climate was substantially different
than today – generally cooler and wetter – and when large mammals of thke
Pleistocene epoch such as mammoth, mastodon, horse, camel, dire wolf, big
cats, and bears were still around. Clovis type projectile points made by the
earliest known Paleoindian groups in the region some 13,500-13,000 years
before present (BP) have been found with the remains of mammoth and other
extinct megafauna. Paleoindian sites of the Folsom culture that succeeded
Clovis ca. 13,000-12,000 years BP are rare in southern Arizona and Sonora
but more common on the Colorado Plateau of northern Arizona and northwestern
New Mexico, in the Great Plains, and they are locally quite dense along the
greater Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico and southern Colorado. By Folsom
time most of the Pleistocene megafauna were extinct except for Bison
antiquus, and Folsom people apparently became expert hunters of those
now-extinct bison. Even younger Paleoindian sites of the 12,500-11,000 years
BP era also are known from the Rio Grande region but they seem to be fewer
than Folsom. By those late Paleoindian times the climate was significantly
warmer and drier than during the Clovis or Folsom periods and human adaptive
behavior was likely shifting toward more sedentary “Archaic” lifestyles with
increased focus on plant gathering and use of local resources.

(4) 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.
