SOME THANK YOUs
Friday December 11, 2020, Millions for Tucson Raffle Wrap-Up. In the
December 11 “Jim Click Millions for Tucson Raffle” that was streamed live on
facebook.com, we were a little disappointed to see that none of the people
who purchased their raffle tickets from Old Pueblo Archaeology Center won
any of the three prizes that were awarded, but Mr. Click and these donors
certainly won our thanks for their support of Old Pueblo! We offer special
thanks to Tucson auto dealer Jim Click and his team for sponsoring the
Millions for Tucson raffles, in which Old Pueblo Archaeology Center has
participated nearly every year since 2008.
We again thank our raffle donors Royce Ballinger, Pete Baum,
Margaret Berrier, David Campbell, Alex Cook, Nancy Easter, Luke Edens,
Sioban Hancock, Mary Kasulaitis, Brian Kenny, Ken Lawrence, Michael McNulty,
Robert Meling, John Pitts, Angeline Piotrowski, Sara Sutton, Brenda Thomson,
Pat and Dick Wiedhopf, Michele Worthington, and Monica Young, whose
ticket-purchase contributions totaled $1,781.
This year’s Millions for Tucson Raffle winners were Yadira Tiznado
of Tucson (third prize of $5,000; winning ticket sold by Our Lady Queen of
All Saints, Tucson); Tucson’s Melinda Correll (second prize of two
first-class round-trip airline tickets to anywhere in the world; she bought
her winning ticket from Spay and Neuter Solutions of Tucson); and Doug and
Deb Justus of Twinsburg, Ohio (first prize: the 2020 Ford F-150 Platinum
pickup valued at $63,410; winning ticket sold by American Cancer Society in
Arizona).
All for good causes!

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
Listings below that are preceded by CANCELLED, POSTPONED, or
RESCHEDULED notes are included because they were listed in Old Pueblo’s
previous upcoming-activities emails but have since been cancelled or
postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center has closed our facilities to the
public since mid-March to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and already has
cancelled or postponed most of our in-person events since late March. We
plan to hold in-person events starting this fall, hoping they can go forward
if the pandemic threat is reduced by the time they are scheduled. Until we
have better knowledge about how the pandemic is progressing, we are keeping
these events scheduled rather than cancelling them in case they can proceed.
We will continue to note in our monthly upcoming-activities emails
if we decide to cancel or postpone already-scheduled in-person events, and
are prepared to switch as many of our non-tour events as needed to Zoom
online events and to offer additional online activities in the future.
For any activity listed below that is marked “This is not an Old
Pueblo Archaeology Center event” the information may be out of date due to
COVID-19 coronavirus concerns – Readers are advised to confirm details with
the event organizers.

Saturday January 9, 2021: Online
“Western Message Petroglyphs: A ‘Faux Indian’ Picture Writing
Project in the American West” free online presentation by rock art
researcher Leigh Marymor sponsored by American Rock Art Research Association
(ARARA)*
5:30-6:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Free.
The term “Western Message Petroglyphs” (WMP) refers to certain
petroglyph sites scattered among eight western states that are recognized by
their shared image content and layout. The imagery is drawn largely from a
mash-up of late historic Native American sign-gesture language and
picture-writing traditions intermixed with pan-cultural imagery from around
the world. Sites identified over the past 67 years that are said to fit this
mold currently number 38 in all. Ongoing research into these esoteric
messages by Leigh Marymor and others began in 2014 when challenged to take a
serious look into these artifacts by Wyoming archaeologist John Greer. In
this talk Leigh shares research findings to date, which suggest the earliest
probable dates for WMP sites and possible translations for some of the rock
image panels, among other interpretations.

“Ancient Macaws in Mimbres, Chaco and the Hohokam” free online
presentation by archaeologist Patricia Gilman, Ph.D., sponsored by Phoenix
Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society *
7:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Recently Dr. Gilman and her colleagues have been investigating the
presence of scarlet macaws in Mimbres archaeological sites, their dates and
DNA, and how they might have been brought to the southwestern United States
from the tropical forest of southern Mexico. Scarlet macaws were the most
spectacular item in the ancient southwestern United States obtained from
farther south in Mexico. They were present and contemporary at Mimbres
Classic and Chacoan sites from about 1000 to 1130 CE, and even earlier in
the Hohokam region. Pat Gilman argues that people used macaws and parrots
differently in the three regions based on different contexts in which the
bird remains have been found, even though the Mimbres and Chaco macaws all
belong to the same rare genetic group, suggesting the same breeding source.

Wednesday January 13, 2021: Online
“Unsettling the Past: Radically Reimagining Archaeological
Knowledge” free online panel discussion sponsored by the Society of Black
Archaeologists, Indigenous Archaeology Collective, Stanford Archaeology
Center, Cornell Institute of Archaeology and Material Studies, Wenner-Gren
Foundation for Anthropological Research, and SAPIENS*
4-6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Free.
For decades Black and Indigenous archaeologists have rightfully
called for a radical reimagining of how archaeologists interpret and
understand the past. The formulation of archaeologies by, for, and with
Indigenous peoples and informed by Black Feminist experiences are a
testament to the desire of scholars to create a field rooted in decolonial
and liberatory accepted practices. These decolonial interventions of
knowledge formation work to unsettle the past--reveling in the human
complexity of Indigenous and Black life. This panel places these
communities’ focus squarely on the continued work of scholars who are
working to decolonize Black and Indigenous pasts by reshaping how
archaeological knowledge is created. Panelists include Sara Gonzalez, Ph.D.
(University of Washington and the Burke Museum), Sven Haakanson (Alutiiq),
Ph.D. (University of Washington and the Burke Museum), Mateo Romero (Cochiti
Pueblo, Contemporary Pueblo Painter and Dubin Fellow), Cheryl White, Ph.D.
(Anton de Kom University of Suriname), with moderator Whitney
Battle-Baptiste, Ph.D. W.E.B. Du Bois Center and University of Massachusetts
Amherst).

Wednesday January 13, 2021: Online
“The Gila: River of History” free presentation by Gregory McNamee
sponsored by Desert Foothills Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, Cave
Creek, Arizona*
7-8:30 p.m. Free
Six hundred miles long from its source in the mountains of
southwestern New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River above
Yuma, the Gila has been an important avenue for the movement of birds,
animals, plants, and peoples across the desert for millennia. Many cultures
have sprung up on its banks, and millions of people depend on the river
today—whether they know it or not. Gregory McNamee, author of the
prizewinning book Gila: The Life and Death of an American River, presents a
biography of this vital resource, drawing on Native American stories,
pioneer memoirs, the writings of modern naturalists such as Aldo Leopold and
Edward Abbey, and many other sources. Think of it as 70 million years of
history packed into an entertaining, informative hour.

“The Beginnings of Plains-Pueblo Interaction – The View from
Southeastern New Mexico” free Zoom online presentation by archaeologist John
D. Speth sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS),
Tucson*
7-8:30 p.m. Free
“. . . the people follow the cows, hunting them and tanning their
skins to take to the settlements in the winter to sell, since they go there
to pass the winter, each company going to those which are nearest, some to
the settlements at Cicuye [Pecos], others toward Quivira, and others to the
settlements which are situated in the direction of Florida. They travel like
the Arabs, with their tents and troops of dogs loaded with poles and having
Moorish pack-saddles with girths” (George Winship, The Coronado Expedition,
1540-1542 [1896, p. 527]). Plains-Pueblo interaction has fascinated
anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians for well over a century.
When did it start? Why did it occur? Who was involved? The conventional view
is that close social and economic ties between sedentary Pueblo farmers and
nomadic bison hunters first emerged during the Protohistoric period after
about AD 1450, hand-in-hand with the expansion of Athabaskan-speaking
peoples (ancestors of the Navajo and Apache) into the southern Plains.
Archaeological evidence from two 14th-century villages near Roswell in
southeastern New Mexico offers rather different answers to some of these
questions, and highlights the potential shortcomings of relying on the
observations of early Spanish explorers to understand the roots of
Plains-Pueblo interaction in the past.

Thursday January 21, 2021: Online
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free online Zoom program featuring “Droughts and Floods Structured Social
Interaction in the Pre-Hispanic Southwest” free presentation by Dr. Nicolas
E. Gauthier
7 to 8:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time Free.
When droughts and floods struck ancient agricultural societies,
complex networks of exchange and interaction channeled resources into
affected settlements and migrants away from them. Did these networks evolve
in part to connect populations living in differing climate regimes? Dr.
Nicolas Gauthier examines this relationship with a long-term archaeological
case study in the pre-Hispanic North American Southwest, analyzing 7.5
million artifacts from nearly 500 archaeological sites spanning 250 years.
He uses these artifacts to estimate how the flow of social information
changed over time and to measure how the intensity of social interaction
among sites varied as a function of distance and several regional drought
patterns.

“Sonoran Desert Fibers, Fur, and Fun” two-day workshop
sponsored by College of Social & Behavioral Sciences’ Community Classroom,
University of Arizona, Tucson*
10-11:30 a.m. Mountain Standard Time each Friday. $50
Today basic survival for most of us means regular trips to
the supermarket or the hardware store. But imagine living in the Sonoran
Desert 500 years ago. Everything you needed came from right here. This
virtual two-part course explores local fiber resources and individual plant
species traditionally used by ancient native peoples of the Sonoran Desert
as well as many modern ethnic groups such as Tohono O'odham, Yaqui, Mayo,
Guarijio, Seri, and Pai Pai. Participants will learn to experiment with
ethnobotanical materials to make their own cordage at home and discover
materials and tools they might find in their own backyards or neighborhoods.
Come away with a new view of the desert's hidden fibers and some great sense
of place activities to share with others.

“Pueblos and their Ancestors: 4,000 Years Persevering in the U.S.
Southwest” online Humanities Seminar taught by archaeologist Dr. E. Charles
Adams, sponsored by The University of Arizona College of Humanities, Tucson*
10 a.m.-12 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. $145.
Many of us are familiar with and may have even visited the seemingly
mystical places in the Four Corners of the U.S. Southwest on the Colorado
Plateau, including Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, and many
more. These were the long-ago homes of people we know as Pueblo, who began
farming in the region 4,000 years ago. Their descendants – the Hopi, Zuni,
Acoma, and Rio Grande Pueblos – retain strong spiritual connections to these
places told in oral histories passed through generations. Together we will
explore what made these places special then and even today: how did people
survive and prosper in this harsh region, why did they leave these places,
where did they go, and what can Pueblo people today tell us about their
ancestors? [This course was originally scheduled for Spring 2020 but was
postponed due to COVID-19.]

Saturday February 6, 2021: Tucson & Marana, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's "Tucson and Marana Yoeme (Yaqui
Indian) Communities" car-caravan cultural sites tour with Yoeme traditional
culture specialist Felipe S. Molina starting in the Santa Cruz River Park
ramada at 1317 W. Irvington Road, Tucson (on south side of Irvington just
west of the Santa Cruz River)
8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; $30 donation ($24 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s
tour expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and
traditional cultures.
Felipe S. Molina was taught the indigenous language, culture, and
history of the Yoemem (Yaqui Indians) by his maternal grandfather and
grandmother, his grandmother's cousin, and several elders from Tucson's
original Pascua Village. A steady stream of Yoeme migrated into southern
Arizona to escape the Mexican government's war on and deportations of the
Yoeme in the 1890s and early 1900s. By 1940 there were about 3,000 Yoeme in
Arizona, mostly living in the well-established villages of Libre (Barrio
Libre) and Pascua (Barrio Loco) in Tucson, Yoem Pueblo and Wiilo Kampo in
Marana, and others near Eloy, Somerton, Phoenix, and Scottsdale. Mr. Molina
will lead this tour to places settled historically by Yoeme in the Tucson
and Marana areas including Bwe'u Hu'upa (Big Mesquite) Village, the San
Martin Church and plaza in the 39th Street Community (Barrio Libre), Pascua,
Ili Hu'upa, Wiilo Kampo, and his home community of Yoem Pueblo including its
San Juan Church and plaza.
All participants are asked to wear face masks and to practice
physical distancing during the tour to avoid spreading COVID-19 virus.
Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m.

“The Salado Phenomenon in the U.S. Southwest” free online Zoom
presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart sponsored by Desert Foothills
Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society, Cave Creek, Arizona, cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities (rescheduled from September 9, 2020)*
7:30-9 p.m. Free
In the early 20th century, archaeologists in the southwestern U.S.
viewed a constellation of distinctive cultural traits – multicolored
pottery, houses arranged in walled compounds, and monumental architecture –
as evidence of a cultural group they termed “Salado.” Subsequent discoveries
cause us to question what the Salado traits really represent. In this
presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates some of the so-called
Salado culture attributes, reviews theories about Salado origins, and
discusses how Salado relates to the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon, Hohokam, and
Casa Grandes cultures of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico’s Northwest. This
program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“Old-Time Religion? The Salado Phenomenon in the U.S. Southwest”
online adult education class with archaeologist Allen Dart via Zoom for
University of Arizona’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program*
3-4:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time. Open to OLLI Greater
Tucson (NW and SE Tucson Only) and Green Valley (GTGV) members only;
membership fee of $140 for just Jan.-April classes or $180 for full year
(July-June) allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses.
When first recognized by archaeologists in the early twentieth
century, a constellation of peculiar cultural traits in the southwestern
United States, including polychrome (three-colored) pottery, above-ground
housing often enclosed in walled compounds, and monumental architecture, was
thought to be indicative of a distinct group of people: "the Salado." As
more and more research was done and the widespread distribution of Salado
material culture became apparent, interpretations of what the Salado
phenomenon represents was debated. In this presentation archaeologist Allen
Dart illustrates pottery and other cultural attributes of the so-called
Salado culture, reviews some of the theories about the Salado, and discusses
how Salado related to the Ancestral Pueblo, Mogollon, Hohokam, and Casas
Grandes cultures of the "Greater Southwest" (the U.S. Southwest and Mexico's
Northwest).

“Zooarchaeology at Pueblo Grande and the Origin of Chickens in the
American Southwest (Or Why Did the Chickens Cross the Desert?)” free Zoom
online presentation by archaeologist Steve James sponsored by Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. Free.
In the late 1930s, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) crew under
the direction of Albert H. Schroeder excavated Trash Mound No. 1, a Hohokam
Colonial period (775-950 CE) deposit at the extensive Hohokam site of Pueblo
Grande along the Salt River in Phoenix, Arizona. Collections from this
project remained largely unanalyzed for over 50 years. Dr. James will
discuss results of the recent analysis of the faunal collections and make
comparisons with a large Classic period (1150-1400) zooarchaeological
assemblage (26,000 specimens) recovered elsewhere at Pueblo Grande that he
analyzed in another study. Although some contrasts between the two
assemblages are the result of different recovery methods, other differences
appear to be related to habitat degradation and overexploitation of animals
in the vicinity of Pueblo Grande. As a result of the latter, the Hohokam
inhabitants made changes in their subsistence strategies with regard to
animal protein acquisition during the Classic period. The WPA excavations in
Trash Mound No. 1 also recovered domestic chicken bones, which were thought
by some researchers to be pre-Spanish in origin. Dr. James will discuss the
chicken bones in terms of the controversy about whether chickens were
introduced into the Americas perhaps from Polynesia, prior to the arrival of
the Spanish conquistadors in the early 1500s. Speaker Steven R. James is
Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Archaeological Research
Facility in the Archaeology Program within the Division of Anthropology at
California State University, Fullerton.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
free online Zoom program featuring “¡Buen Provecho! A Multicultural History
of Mexico and the Borderlands through Food and Taste” presentation by
historian Dr. Michael Brescia
7 to 8:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time Free.
This presentation examines how the fusion of foods and diet of the
Americas and beyond transformed Mexico in the wake of the Spanish conquest
and the establishment of Spanish colonialism in North America. Historian Dr.
Michael Brescia will provide a food history of Mexico and the northern
Borderlands region and discuss the cultural significance of a mestizaje of
taste, or the blending of foodways and nutritional regimes that changed
global palates. In a richly illustrated lecture, Michael will show how
different cuisines and dishes reflect the broad sweep of the Mexican and
Borderlands historical experiences.

taught by Dr. Michael M. Brescia, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum,
University of Arizona (ASM), Tucson*
9:30-11 a.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time on each date. $150 (ASM
members $100).
This Master Class taught by Dr. Michael M. Brescia, Curator of
Ethnohistory and affiliated Professor of History and Law at the University
of Arizona, examines the manuscript culture of ancient Mexico and what the
codices tell us (and don’t tell us) about the political, economic, social,
and cultural rhythms of daily life for the Maya, Mixtec, and Aztec
societies. After the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521, the codex tradition
continued under the auspices of the Spanish missionaries and provided
Indigenous peoples with a voice amid the dramatic changes that were taking
place all around them.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner program featuring “Subjective Color in Mimbres Black-on-white
Pottery” free presentation by archaeologist Dr. Stephanie M. Whittlesey in
the Dining Hall and Petroglyph Auditorium of the Picture Rocks Redemptorist
Renewal Center, 7101 W. Picture Rocks Road, Tucson.
Dinner starts at 6 p.m., presentation around 7-8:30 p.m.; dinner is
$16 per person, presentation is free
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.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for

Museum Research around Homol’ovi and at the Ancestral Hopi Village of
Homol’ovi II” presentation by archaeologist Richard Lange
7 to 8:30 p.m. Arizona/Mountain Standard Time Free.
Rich Lange, who served as Associate Director of the Arizona
State Museum, University of Arizona (ASM) Homol'ovi Research Program for
over three decades, will review the history of that program and the
Winslow/Homol'ovi area. He will focus on the seven late ancestral-Hopi
Homol'ovi Settlement Cluster villages that were founded in a roughly
140-year span between 1260 and 1400 CE. Much of these villages’ population
probably came originally from the Hopi Mesas area and returned there when
the Homol'ovi villages were no longer occupied on a regular basis. Rich will
examine the unique role of Homol'ovi II, the largest and latest of the
Cluster’s villages where excavations occurred in 1983-84 and from 1991-1995,
and discuss how it was founded, when, and by whom.
