“Thank You Mr. Carnegie! Utah’s Carnegie Library Legacy” with Roger
Roper sponsored by Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Salt Lake
City*
11 a.m.-12 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
This session explores the history, impact, and durability of
industrialist/philanthropist Andrew Carnegie's library construction program
in Utah during the early 1900s. It also includes excerpts of a recorded
interview with a long-time Utah librarian, providing a local perspective on
what a Carnegie library has meant to one small Utah community. Roger Roper
has worked on hundreds of historic preservation projects since the 1980s,
including Utah's Carnegie libraries. The recorded interview portion of the
presentation involves Camille Sleight, folklorist and Heritage Program
Manager for the Bear River Heritage Area, and Patricia Forsgren with the

“Ancient Basketry Shields of the Northern Southwest” free live and
online presentation with ethnologist Edward A. Jolie, PhD, sponsored by San
Juan Basin Archaeological Society at Fort Lewis College’s Center of
Southwest Studies, 1000 Rim Dr., Durango, Colorado*
7 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
Indigenous American shield-making traditions are best attested among
the peoples of the Plains and Southwest cultural provinces where shields
were used in martial and ceremonial contexts. In these regions, shields are
frequently represented in rock and mural paintings, and pictographs and
petroglyphs, some of which exhibit considerable antiquity. Actual shields,
however, are almost unknown archaeologically. This presentation discusses
new data resulting from analyses of the five known coiled basketry shields
recovered from archaeological sites in the northern Southwest. Improved
dating suggests basketry shields predate the proliferation of shield imagery
in the 1200s. Dr. Jolie is the Clara Lee Tanner Associate Curator of
Ethnology at the Arizona State Museum and Associate Professor of
Anthropology in the School of Anthropology, University of Arizona.

“Desert Rats, River Runners, and Canyon Crawlers: Four Arizona
Explorers” free presentation with Gregory McNamee, sponsored by Senior
Services Inc – Encore For More and Arizona Humanities at Fountain Hills
Activity Center, 13001 N. La Montana Dr., Fountain Hills, Arizona*
2-3:30 p.m. Free.
Francisco Garcés, a Franciscan friar, arrived in what is now Arizona
in 1768. Assigned to the church at San Xavier del Bac south of present-day
Tucson, he traveled widely throughout Arizona and California, charting
overland routes that later travelers would follow. Near where Garcés would
meet his death in 1781, an American soldier named Joseph Christmas Ives
embarked on an arduous expedition up the Colorado River, one of the first
Americans to see what he called the Big Canyon. A dozen years later, the
river-running explorer John Wesley Powell would name it the Grand Canyon,
and a hundred years after that a writer named Edward Abbey would explore the
canyon country, writing classic books such as Desert Solitaire and Black
Sun. In this talk, writer, editor, photographer, and publisher Gregory
McNamee will look back on the accomplishments of these four explorers, each
of whom shaped our understanding of this wild, sometimes challenging place
called Arizona.

“Dog Life and Death in an Ancestral Pueblo Landscape” free online
presentation by archaeologist Victoria Monagle sponsored by Four Corners
Lecture Series, Bureau of Land Management-Monticello Field Office and Bears
Ears National Monument, Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum, and Crow
Canyon Archaeological Center (Cortez, Colorado)*
4 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
How can nonexclusive categories drawn from ethnographic work reshape
our understanding of prehistoric southwestern dogs? This reanalysis uses
osteological data to interpret roles dogs may have filled during and after
life at a Pueblo I-Pueblo II site in Mancos Canyon, Colorado. Previous
analyses suggested dogs were used as a secondary food source and had ritual
significance. Victoria Monagle’s framework incorporating Indigenous beliefs
and paleopathological analysis makes a link between the role of dogs in past
and present Puebloan populations. Variation in canine life histories,
despite similar burial contexts, suggests dogs filled multiple roles during
their lives within this Mancos Canyon community. Originally from El Paso,
Victoria Monagle is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Mexico whose
zooarchaeological research aims to answer questions about precontact human
and dog relationships in the Ancestral Pueblo Southwest. CONTENT WARNING:
This webinar contains images of canine remains that may be sensitive for

“Color and Directional Symbolism at Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon”
free online presentation with archaeologist Hannah Mattson, PhD, sponsored
by The Archaeological Conservancy, Albuquerque*
5 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
Dedicatory offerings of small colorful objects are often found in
pre-Hispanic architectural contexts in the American Southwest’s Ancestral
Pueblo region. These deposits are particularly numerous in kivas at the site
of Pueblo Bonito, Chaco Canyon, which served as the ceremonial hub of a
regional social system between the 10th and 12th centuries CE. Based on the
importance of directionality and color in traditional Pueblo worldviews,
archaeologists have long-speculated that the contents of these radial
offerings may likewise reference significant Chacoan cosmographic elements.
In this talk, Dr. Mattson will discuss the results of a recent study where
she explored this idea by examining the distribution of colors and materials
in kiva pilaster repositories in relation to directional quadrants,
prominent landscape features, and raw material sources.

“Buck Mountain Fire Lookout Tower, AZ” HistoriCorps and Coconino
National Forest offer volunteer-assisted rehabilitation and repair
conservation project in the forest about 50 miles south of Flagstaff,
Arizona*
Arrive Sunday evening; daylight hours Monday-Friday. No fees.
The Buck Mountain Fire Lookout Tower was built in 1939 and used
seasonally. The Ranger District no longer actively uses the lookout for
surveillance and fire prevention, and proposes to reuse it as a recreation
facility for public lodging as part of the Forest Service Arizona Cabin
Rental Program. The lookout requires maintenance and repairs to make it safe
for public use. Once the fire lookout tower is repaired and approved as a
recreational cabin rental, it will be the only historic lookout available to
the public for lodging in the Southwest region. Volunteers for this project
will camp onsite. Access to camp requires high-clearance vehicle; no RV
spaces and no hookups are available but there will be restrooms and potable
water onsite.

“Hechizas: A History of Looting and Ceramic Fakes in Northwest
Chihuahua” presentation, live or Zoom option, by archaeologist Fabiola E.
Silva for Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) meeting in
University of Arizona’s Environmental & Natural Resources Bldg. 2 Room 107
(ground-floor auditorium Bldg. 2 Room 107 (ground-floor auditorium), 1064 E.
Lowell St., Tucson (Park in U of A 6th St. garage for $1/hr.)*
7-8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
In the early 1970s a pottery movement inspired by precontact Casas
Grandes ceramic styles emerged in Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. This
movement was led by the potter Juan Quezada and his patron Spencer
MacCallum. The origin story told by MacCallum and Quezada, and retold by
many others, is one filled with inspiration and chance encounters. However,
their story fails to acknowledge how looting and the creation of ceramic
fakes contributed to the development of this modern pottery movement. This
presentation will examine the emergence of ceramic fakes in northwestern
Chihuahua, establish their defining characteristics, and explore their role
in ceramic analysis. Data for this study were collected through extensive
interviews with looters, collectors, and elder potters from the region. In
addition, a ceramic replication project was conducted by elder potters
Macario Ortiz and Reynaldo Quezada in order to document the process of
making hechizas (ceramic fakes). Fabiola Silva is Cultural Resource Manager
and Tribal Liaison for Fort Bliss Military Installation.

“Perimortem Processing, Dismemberment, and Trophy Taking of Human
Remains” with Derinna Kopp, PhD, sponsored by Utah State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO), Salt Lake City*
11 a.m.-12 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
Join Dr. Derinna Kopp for a survey of skeletal remains that add new
details to ancient life . . . and death. The identification of certain
perimortem (near the time of death) alterations on human bones has long been
viewed as hallmarks processing, dismemberment and trophy taking of human
remains. The presence of these characteristics in some archaeological
remains from Utah will be explored. Derinna Kopp is the head of the Ancient
Human Remains Program at the Utah SHPO. She has a PhD in Biological
Anthropology with emphasis on skeletal analysis from the University of Utah
and 20+ years of experience analyzing and recovering human remains from both
archaeological and modern forensic cases.

“From 'Chief' to Code Talker: Four Profiles of the Navajo Code
Talkers” free presentation by Laura Tohe for Verde Valley Chapter, Arizona
Archaeological Society meeting at Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear
Road, Sedona, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
3:30 p.m. Free.
During WWII a group of young Navajo men enlisted in the Marines
without knowing that they would be called on to develop a secret code
against the Japanese military. This select group of Code Talkers devised a
Navajo language code that was accurate, quick, never broken, and saved many
American lives. This talk profiles four Code Talkers who reflect on their
lives growing up on the Navajo Nation homeland before and after the war,
including my father. They returned home without fanfare to continued poverty
and lack of economic opportunity, yet persevered and overcame obstacles that
helped change the Navajo Nation and their communities. They tell their
stories with poignancy that reflect their resiliency and self-determination.
Laura Tohe, the current Navajo Nation Poet Laureate, is the daughter of a
Navajo Code Talker and Professor Emerita with Distinction from ASU who has
authored an oral history on the Code Talkers.

“The Point Great House: A Ceremonial Center of the Middle San Juan
Region in Northwestern New Mexico” free online presentation by archaeologist
Linda Wheelbarger, sponsored by Four Corners Lecture Series, the Colorado
Archaeological Society’s Hisatsinom Chapter, and Crow Canyon Archaeological
Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Free (donations encouraged).
The Point Great House sits on an isolated terrace directly above the
San Juan River overlooking the City of Farmington, New Mexico. San Juan
College archaeological field school excavations since 2006 have revealed
occupation dating to the entire Ancestral Pueblo occupation sequence.
Despite great disturbance caused to the site during early oil and gas
extraction days, a large depression indicated the presence of a great kiva.
Field school excavations revealed it is a large structure with Chacoan wall
construction, distinct floor sequences, and a later enlargement of the
structure indicated by two separate encircling benches. A multistory great
house with an associated arc of rooms is situated east of the great kiva,
and nearby are two small Pueblo III house units with associated kivas and a
large, late Basketmaker III/Early Pueblo I pit structure. Chaco style great
kiva and local style great house suggest the site was a Middle San Juan
region ceremonial center similar to the Salmon and Aztec Chacoan great
houses.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free
Zoom online program featuring “The Elk Ridge Community in the Mimbres Pueblo
World” presentation by archaeologist Barbara J. Roth, PhD
7 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific
Daylight Time). Free
Elk Ridge was the largest pueblo in the northern portion of the
Mimbres River valley during the Classic Mimbres period (1000-1130 CE).
Recent excavations at the site combined with survey data indicate that it
was part of a thriving community with social ties to other nearby pueblos
and likely served as the ritual and perhaps economic hub for these smaller
pueblos. In this presentation, Dr. Roth will discuss data from fieldwork she
directed at Elk Ridge and surrounding sites and will explore how and why Elk
Ridge played such a prominent role in this portion of the Mimbres River
Valley.

“Macaws and Parrots in the Ancient Southwestern United States and
Northwestern Mexico” free online presentation by archaeologists Patricia
Gilman, PhD, Stephen Plog, PhD, and Christopher W. Schwartz, PhD, sponsored
by the Amerind Museum, Dragoon, Arizona*
11 a.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations requested).
The multiple, vivid colors of scarlet macaws and their ability to
mimic human speech are key reasons macaws were and are significant to the
Native peoples of the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest (SW/NW). Scarlet
macaws are native to tropical forests ranging from the Gulf Coast and
southern regions of Mexico to Bolivia. Surprisingly, they are present at
numerous archaeological sites in the SW/NW yet are absent at the vast
majority. New syntheses of early excavation data, new analytical methods,
and new approaches to understanding the past now provide clues to the
significance and distribution of scarlet macaws to a degree that was
previously impossible. In this presentation sponsored by Desert Diamond
Casinos, three leading experts on scarlet macaws explore what we currently
know about them from archaeological sites in the SW/NW.

“Millennium on the Meridian: Political History of the Ancient
Southwest” free online presentation with archaeologist Stephen H. Lekson
sponsored by The Aztlander emagazine*
8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Free.
In 1999, Stephen H. Lekson published a study linking the sequential
southwestern capitals of Chaco Canyon (850-1125 CE), Aztec Ruins
(1110-1280), and Paquimé (Casas Grandes, 1250-1450) along a north-south
alignment, the “Chaco Meridian.” He concludes that the Chaco capital moved
north to Aztec, then to Paquimé. Subsequent research extends the importance
of the Meridian back to 500 CE and forward to 1600 CE. During that 1100-year
span, clearly the largest and more important sites were located on or very
near that north-south line. What does that mean? In 2015, Lekson published
an expanded “Chaco Meridian” that attempted to answer that question. But
just what do these large-scale distributions mean? What are we to make of
pottery styles that became common over large portions of three states? How
do we understand large-scale distributions of more esoteric items, like
Hohokam ballcourts? Tune in for Lekson’s answers.

“Guided Tour to Black Cave and Vaquero Shelter Rock Art Sites” with
archaeologist Vicky Roberts sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research &
Education Center, meets at Shumla Archaeological Research Center, 28 Langtry
St., Comstock, Texas*
8 a.m.-6 p.m. $160.
Black Cave is a large rockshelter within Upper Presa Canyon in
Seminole Canyon State Park that contains striking and vibrant rock art,
owing its preservation to its location high above the shelter floor (which
probably would have required the construction of scaffolding to create).
Vaquero Shelter gets its name for the Historic period rock art depicting two
riders mounted on horseback with a longhorn cow and calf adjacent to a
structure resembling a Spanish mission and a man in a Spanish uniform. Other
rock art styles are present denoting continued use throughout precontact
times.

“Looking Back at Early Prehistoric Agriculture at Las Cienegas” free
online Learn and Lunch presentation with archaeologists Bill Gillespie,
Connie Darby and Shela McFarlin, sponsored by Cienega Watershed Partnership,
Vail, Arizona*
12-1 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Archaeologists Gillespie, Darby, and McFarlin will discuss recent
studies along Cienega Creek southeast of Tucson in Las Cienegas National
Conservation Area managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It has long been
known that the floodplains of Cienega Creek and its tributaries supported
some of the earliest agricultural development in southern Arizona. These
ancient sites, some dating back to 4000 years ago, continue to be important
to understanding how, why, and when agriculture/maize agriculture became an
increasingly dominant means of subsistence for communities living in the
area. This presentation will cover the significance of this period and
important Cienega sites, results of new surveys in 2022 to relocate older
recorded sites, and future protection and monitoring needs.

“Domestication and Its Impact on Human Society” Master Class taught
by Martin Welker, PhD, at the Arizona State Museum (ASM), University of
Arizona, 1013 E. University Blvd., Tucson*
10 a.m.-12 p.m. each Wednesday. $230 (ASM members $200). Free campus
parking. Credit card payments incur a 3% fee.
The domestication of plants and animals is one of the most
significant events in human history. Plant and animal domestication has
directly or indirectly impacted most aspects of our daily lives including
human mobility, health, and diet, the environments in which we live and
animals we interact with, and even the organization of our communities, size
of our cities, and tasks we spend our daily lives accomplishing. Without
domestication, it is safe to say hat the world we know today would not
exist. This master class will explore the process of domestication and
impact that a few domesticated species have had upon human communities.
Session topics include 1) Introduction – what is “domestication”?; 2)
domestication in the Pleistocene: the domestic dog; 3) the “Neolithic
Revolution”: farming and early food domesticates; 4) trade, transport, and
directed domestication; and 5) tamed and domesticated birds.

Forest offer volunteer-assisted restoration project near McNary, Arizona*
Arrive Sunday evening; daylight hours daily thereafter. No fees.
National Register-listed Los Burros Barn is located at the edge of a
breathtaking conifer-ringed meadow. The barn was part of the US Forest
Service’s Los Burros Ranger Station, constructed in 1910 to house the fire
guard for the Lake Mountain lookout station and serve as a temporary base
camp for fire-fighting crews. After the lookout tower was constructed, Los
Burros Ranger Station was repurposed to house Forest Service timber sale
administrators and rangers. As the timber industry slowed, many miles of
timber-railroad grades throughout the area were repurposed to provide
outings to Los Burros vicinity for locals and tourists. Today, there is a
campground near the barn along with wonderful hiking opportunities including
the 13.8-mile Los Burros Trail. On this project, volunteers guided by
HistoriCorps staff will assist with removing and installing a new cedar
shingle roof, repairing and replacing some of the roof decking, and
completing the unfinished side staining. Camping area is accessible for
tents, campervans, truck campers and trailers up to 22 feet in length.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free Zoom online program featuring “Diné History’s Impact on Jewelry”
presentation by Nanibaa Beck, cosponsored by Arizona Humanities, Phoenix
7 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific
Daylight Time). Free.
Nanibaa Beck, a second-generation Diné (Navajo) jeweler, provides a
history of Diné jewelry over the century, focusing on changes in each
decade. She will relate the shifting techniques, styles, and meanings of the
art over the years to important events in Diné history including the impact
of boarding schools, training schools, and access to new styles and
materials on Navajo jewelry over this extended period of time. Being
intricately connected to the creation process motivated Ms. Beck to become
more knowledgeable about the multifaceted areas surrounding Native American
art. In November 2013 she founded NotAbove Jewelry after an “aha moment” in
which a small thank-you card project sparked the idea for the original
language necklaces that connect to her Diné culture. Today, NotAbove
reflects vibrant Native creative expressions and the growth of an Diné
‘Asdzáá (woman) as a metalsmith. This program is made possible by Arizona
Humanities. It will not be recorded.

Thursday-Sunday August 11-14, 2022: Rowe Mesa, NM
“2022 Pecos Archaeological Conference” on Rowe Mesa near Pecos, New
Mexico*
Times TBA. Registration $55 standard, $40 student; dinner, & other
amenities extra.
Since 1927, when archaeologist Alfred Vincent Kidder first inspired
and organized the original Pecos Conference, professional and avocational
archaeologists have gathered under open skies somewhere in the southwestern
United States or northwestern Mexico during August for the nearly yearly
Pecos Conference. They set up a large tent for shade and spend three or more
days together discussing recent research, problems of the field, and the
challenges of the profession, and present and critique each others’ ideas
before committing them to publication. In recent years, Native Americans,
avocational archaeologists, the general public, and media organizations have
come to play an increasingly important role, serving as participants and as
audience, to celebrate archaeological research and to mark cultural
continuity. Attendees may camp or lodge in nearby communities.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. For more

Thursday August 18, 2022: Online
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free Zoom online program featuring “The Full Story of Pueblo Grande (or at
Least a Few Chapters)” presentation by City of Phoenix Archaeologist Laurene
Montero
7 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific
Daylight Time). Free
Pueblo Grande is one of the last remaining precontact Hohokam
villages with an intact platform mound – or va’aki – in Arizona’s lower Salt
River valley. Its importance to descendant Tribal communities is recognized
today, and Pueblo Grande continues to yield a wealth of information
regarding the past and its connection to the present. Excavation projects in
almost 80 percent of this village have unearthed many archaeological
features, providing information for compiling a new research database. The
continued challenge to preserve, research, and interpret pieces of this
important place in the face of a changing urban landscape has required
creativity, collaboration, and devotion on the part of a diverse group of
volunteers and professionals. This Third Thursday presentation will combine
a brief history of the archaeology of Pueblo Grande, its role in the
surrounding irrigation community archaeologists call Canal System 2, and its
value as a resource for continued preservation archaeology.

Thursday September 15, 2022: Online
(An Encore from March 17)
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free Zoom online program featuring “The Sinagua: Fact or Fiction?”
presentation by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles, Jr.
7 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific
Daylight Time). Free.
“Sinagua” is the name first coined in 1939 to refer to the
pre-European people who inhabited the Flagstaff region of north-central
Arizona. But what, exactly, does this mean? Does Sinagua refer to a
geographic area, a specific kind of pottery, an actual grouping of people,
or is it something else? These are difficult questions this presentation
will attempt to explore. The Sinagua archaeological area of Arizona has been
considered a cultural “frontier,” characterized as a blend of other
cultures, yet unique enough to warrant its own cultural designation.
However, over the years, this uniqueness dissolved as old interpretations
were no longer satisfactorily explaining what archaeologists were finding.
By the 1960s, new areas of study and new explanatory models were developed.
However, these paradigm shifts have failed to satisfactorily answer the
questions posed by past interpretations. These shifts beg the major
questions: Who were the Sinagua, how do they fit into the “Big Picture” of
Southwest prehistory, and what happened to the culture? In order to bring
closure to these questions, archaeologists need to explain how past
questions have been . . . not exactly the wrong questions, but they need to
be re-fitted and examined under a different lens, focused by degrees of
scale. This presentation will attempt to illustrate these different
approaches, as well as to demonstrate that the concept of “Sinagua” is both
fact AND fiction.
Archaeologist Peter Pilles has studied the Southwest’s Sinagua
archaeological culture for decades. In this presentation (rescheduled from
March 17 when he was unable to share his PowerPoint file) he will give an
overview of Sinagua and how it related to the surrounding, contemporary
Hohokam, Mogollon, Ancestral Pueblo, and Patayan cultures.

Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's executive director) leads this tour to
Los Morteros, an ancient village site that includes a Hohokam ballcourt,
bedrock mortars, and other archaeological features; and to Picture Rocks,
where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice and equinox calendar marker,
dancing human-like figures, whimsical animals, and other rock symbols made
by Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE. An equinox calendar petroglyph
at Picture Rocks exhibits a specific interaction with a ray of sunlight on
the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour and minute of the actual
celestial equinox, so participants in this tour will see that sunlight
interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds block the sunlight.

Thursday December 15, 2022: Online
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free Zoom online program featuring “Tracking the First Americans”
presentation by archaeologist Vance Holliday, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center, Tucson
7 to 8:30 p.m. ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free
The question of when people first arrived in the Americas, based on
scientific evidence, has been argued for decades and even centuries. For
many years the conventional answer was about 13,000 years ago with the
appearance of people who made distinctive artifacts called Clovis points
(named for a famous archaeological site near Clovis, New Mexico). Other
sites have been proposed as being older than Clovis. A few early occupations
ca. 14,000 to ca. 16,000 years old were about the oldest well-documented
sites accepted by most (but not all) archaeologists. The White Sands
locality changed that for many archaeologists. The site provides convincing
evidence that humans were in what is now southern New Mexico between 23,000
and 21,000 years ago. That is the oldest obvious case we have. Human
activity in the form of footprints is quite clear and numerous and the
dating is solid. At other sites considered older than Clovis, often there
are debates over the age or presence of humans, which is usually based on
interpretations of broken rocks or bones as tools. The time range for the
tracks at White Sands is significant because it puts people in the Americas
during the last Ice Age, which means they were likely here sooner, before
the last Ice Age covered essentially all of Canada from coast to coast maybe
25,000+ years ago.
