Saturday June 2, 2018: Phoenix 
       “6th Annual World Atlatl Day Competition” sponsored by the nonprofit
Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum and
Archaeological Park, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
      9 a.m.-12 p.m. Free 
      Join Pueblo Grande Museum and local primitive skills group SALT in
celebrating World Atlatl Day with an atlatl demonstration and accuracy
contest. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed! Used worldwide for
thousands of years, the atlatl predates the bow and arrow and proved an
effective weapon. A stick with a hook on the end to hold and throw a lokng
dart or spear, the atlatl increased the distance, speed, and force of the
throw. The museum will be offering free admission and visitors can try
throwing darts using the atlatl and even join in the accuracy competition.
The World Atlatl Association was established in 1987 with the purpose of
promoting the atlatl and dart. WAA strives to teach and share knowledge of
the atlatl and promote interest and competition. SALT (Study of Ancient
Lifeways and Technologies) is a Phoenix Valley local group whose mission is
to teach, share, learn and practice the skills that allowed ancient people
to survive and thrive in their respective environments.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations are needed. For more information contact Pueblo Grande Museum

Tuesday June 5, 2018: Tucson
      “Geoarchaeology of Ancient Water Control in the Southwest: Lessons
from the Past” free presentation by Dr. Gary Huckleberry sponsored by
Arizona Geological Society at Sheraton Hotel, 5151 E Grant Rd., Tucson*
      7:45-9 p.m.; free
      Managing running water resources in the North American Southwest dates
back at least 3,500 years and played a key role in long-term adaptations of
ancient societies. Water was captured, diverted, and stored for purposes of
domestic consumption and agricultural production. Hundreds of miles of
canals were constructed along perennial rivers like the Salt, Gila, and
Verde. Earthen reservoirs were constructed to capture runoff in the desert
interior. Evidence for this ancient hydraulic infrastructure can be quite
subtle depending on the scale of engineering and geological processes that
modify the archaeological record. This research makes clear that people have
long dealt with the challenges of population growth and climate variability
in arid environments.  Gary Huckleberry received his Ph.D. from the
Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, and has 30 years of
consulting and research experience in North and South America.

Wednesday June 13, 2018: Winslow, AZ
      “History of the Homol'ovi Research Program and the Winslow/Homol'ovi
Area” free presentation by Richard Lange for Homolovi Chapter, Arizona
Archaeological Society, at Winslow Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center
(Historic Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post), 523 W. Second St., Winslow,
Arizona*
      7 p.m. Free
      Archaeologist Richard Lange has been the Associate Director of the
Arizona State Museum’s Homol’ovi Research Program since its inception in
1983-1984 and has excavated for years in the Homol’ovi region. In this
presentation he will review the history of the Homol'ovi Research Program
and of the Winslow/Homol'ovi area focusing on the late ancestral Hopi
villages we call the Homol'ovi Settlement Cluster. Seven villages were
founded in a roughly 140-year span between A.D. 1260 and 1400. Much of their
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. The talk will focus on the largest and latest of the villages,
Homol'ovi II, where excavations occurred in 1983-1984 and 1991-1995. He will
examine its unique role in the Homol'ovi Settlement Cluster and speculate
about how it was founded, when, and by whom. The morning after the talk
(Thursday June 14) Rich will guide a tour to Homol’ovi II; participants can
meet at the Visitors Center at 7:30 a.m.

Saturday June 16, 2018: El Paso
      “Clay and Stone: Petroglyphs at Three Rivers Petroglyph Site Compared
with Mimbres Ceramic Painted Bowls” free presentation by Joan Price
sponsored by El Paso Archaeological Society at El Paso Museum of
Archaeology, 4301 Transmountain Road, El Paso*
      2 p.m.; free
      Since the 1920s participants in professional and volunteer
archaeological field schools, independent scholars, and directors of
research projects have noted that a significant number of petroglyphs at
Three Rivers petroglyph site in the northern Tularosa Basin on the western
Sierra Blanca slope appear to be in the style of Mimbres pottery designs
created some 100-200 miles to the west. There is substantial evidence of
painted pottery exchange between Three Rivers and Mimbres culture groups.
Price will illustrate motifs found on both decorated stones at Three Rivers
and on early and classic Mimbres ceramic bowls, suggesting shared visual and
social concepts of a sacred ritual landscape and possible pilgrimage
destination in the prehistoric southwestern landscape. Price will discuss an
enduring Pueblo model of the universe offered by Pueblo scholar Rina Naranjo
Swenzell and her grandson Jeremy Iowa as an appropriate shared cosmology for
the motifs in both stone and ceramic media.

Monday June 18, 2018: Tucson
      “Landscapes of Resilience: O’Odham Resource Use in the Colonial
Pimería Alta” free presentation by Nicole M. Mathwich for Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS) meeting at Banner University
Medical Center DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson*
      7:30-9 p.m. Free
      The Columbian Exchange was the vast and pervasive transfer of animals,
plants, diseases, and people among the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia.
Archaeologists studying the Exchange have examined emergent identities,
cultural persistence, and the long-term political ramifications of
archaeological interpretations of cultural change for indigenous peoples of
the Americas; however, less attention has been given to investigating the
mechanisms of how native peoples negotiated the introduction of European
livestock within their local environments. Livestock possess the ability to
transform local ecology and have the disruptive potential to be agents of
colonialism. Archaeologist Nicole Mathwich’s research integrates society,
economy, and ecology to study shifts in indigenous landscape use following
the introduction of livestock, using multiple, independent lines of evidence
to examine how local conditions influenced indigenous responses to colonial
pressures at Spanish colonial mission and presidio sites between A.D. 1685
and A.D. 1850 in the Santa Cruz Valley of southern Arizona and northern
Sonora. Her findings have identified multisite patterns in resource use and
reflect a mix of reorganization of resources in response to colonial
pressures and the persistence of traditional landscape use.

reservations needed. For details visit  <http://www.az-arch-and-hist.org>

Saturday July 14, 2018: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeology, Paleontology, and
Environmental Sciences Laboratories Tour” starting in the courtyard at
Mercado San Agustin, 100 S. Avenida del Convento, Tucson
      8 a.m. to noon: $25 donation ($20 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
and Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary members)

      This Old Pueblo Archaeology Center summer tour visits two TOO-COOL
environmental-science laboratories in Tucson – the Desert Laboratory on
Tumamoc Hill and the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, both administered by
The University of Arizona (UA). In the first tour segment, Dr. Ben Wilder
will lead us through the Tumamoc Desert Laboratory, which began its
existence in 1903 as the Carnegie Desert Botanical Laboratory established by
the Carnegie Institution of Washington and is now listed in the National
Register of Historic Places. In 1940 the Carnegie Institution sold it to the
US Forest Service for $1, and in 1956 the UA bought it from the U.S.
government, promising in the deed to use it solely for research and
education. During its 115 years of existence the Tumamoc Hill and Desert
Laboratory staff have been on the cutting edge in the fields of paleontology
and desert ecology.

      The UA Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) also has a venerable
record of research in archaeology, astronomy, and environmental sciences.
Created in 1937 by UA Professor of Astronomy Andrew Ellicott Douglass,
founder of the science of dendrochronology, the LTRR has helped establish
many other dendrochronology and tree-ring science labs around the world and
remains a foremost facility in environmental research, teaching, and
outreach, as we will see as docent Randall Smith leads us through the
tree-ring laboratory.
      The first tour segment to Tumamoc Hill is limited to six vehicles so
carpooling is required and no more than 24 people (in addition to Old
Pueblo’s tour coordinator Allen Dart) can register depending on whether we
can designate six 4-passenger vehicles for carpooling from Mercado San
Agustin to the Desert Lab. Then after we leave there we will return to the
Mercado so carpoolers can get back into their own vehicles, and we will
caravan from the Mercado to the LTRR for the second tour segment.
Reservations and donation prepayments are required by 5 p.m. Wednesday July

Thursday September 20, 2018: Tucson
      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
Wednesday before the program date:  <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Thursdays October 4, 11, & 25, & November 1, 2018: Tucson
      “Making (Historical) Sense of Mexico” ASM Master Class taught by
historian Dr. Michael M. Brescia in the University of Arizona’s Old Main,
Silver and Sage Room, 1200 E. University Blvd., Tucson*
      9:30 to 11:30 a.m. each Thursday; $200 ASM members ($80 tax
deductible), $250 nonmembers ($130 tax deductible); gift portion supports
Dr. Brescia’s research.
      The headlines scream that Mexico in the new millennium has become a
lawless state riddled with political corruption, drug violence, and extreme
inequality, which push its citizens to seek economic security across the
international border in the United States. In this four-part series Dr.
Michael M. Brescia, University of Arizona Curator of Ethnohistory and
Affiliated Professor of History and Law, will take you beyond the media
headlines and political soundbites and introduce you to our southern
neighbor by examining the manner in which history, geography, and culture
have shaped modern Mexico since its independence from Spain in 1821. You
will learn about the tumultuous nineteenth century when Mexico experienced
four foreign invasions and routine civil discord, the violent upheaval of
the world’s first social revolution in the twentieth century, and the
challenges and opportunities associated with sharing a nearly 2,000-mile
border with the so-called Colossus of the North, the United States.
Registration includes campus parking, class materials, coffee and light
snacks.

Friday October 5, 2018: Green Valley, AZ*
      “Arts and Culture of Ancient Southern Arizona Hohokam Indians” ” adult
education class with archaeologist Allen Dart for OLLI-UA Green Valley
members at location TBA, Green Valley, Arizona*
      3:30 to 5 p.m. Open to OLLI-UA Green Valley members only: $140
semiannual (Sept. 24-Nov. 16) membership fee or $180 full-year (July 15-June
30) fee allows one to take this and many other OLLI courses.
      The Hohokam Native American culture flourished in southern Arizona
from the sixth through fifteenth centuries. Hohokam artifacts, architecture,
and other material culture provide archaeologists with clues for identifying
where the Hohokam lived, for interpreting how they adapted to the Sonoran
Desert for centuries, and explaining why the Hohokam culture mysteriously
disappeared. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates the
material culture of the Hohokam and presents possible interpretations about
their relationships to the natural world, their time reckoning, religious
practices, beliefs, and deities, and possible reasons for the eventual
demise of their way of life. The presentation includes abundant
illustrations of Hohokam artifacts, rock art, and other cultural features.
      One of many classes offered by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
(OLLI), this “Modern and Historical O’odham Culture” adult education class
covers how the “Four Southern Tribes” of Arizona share a close relationship
with one another and trace their ancestry to people who inhabited
south-central Arizona and part of northern Mexico through geographical,
archaeological, linguistic, oral tradition, and historical evidence. These
modern tribes refer to themselves as "O'odham" ('the people') in their
native language and historically have been called the Papago and Pima
Indians. They occupy several southern Arizona Indian reservations but many
of their members live and work in communities beyond the reservation
boundaries, in Arizona and elsewhere. This class provides a brief
introduction to the historical and modern O'odham cultures, their roots in
the ancient Paleoindian, Archaic, and Hohokam cultures identified by
archaeologists, and their prominent place in the modern world.

Saturday October 6, 2018: Marana, AZ
      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; enjoy buffet-style dinner at your own expense 
      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.

Saturday October 27, 2018: 
Ironwood Forest National Monument, AZ
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Chukui Kawi/Cerro Prieto: Yoeme
Sacred Mountain, Hohokam Trincheras, and Petroglyphs” car-caravan cultural
sites tour with Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe S. Molina and
archaeologist Allen Dart, meeting at McDonald’s restaurant, 13934 N.
Sandario Rd., Marana, Arizona (accessible from Interstate 10 Exit 236

and Yoeme traditional culture.
      Cerro Prieto (Spanish for ‘Dark Hill’), a volcanic peak that rises
about 900 feet above the surrounding plain in the Ironwood Forest National
Monument northwest of Tucson, is a sacred place known to the Yoeme (Yaqui
Indians) as Chukui Kawi (‘Black Mountain’). Situated in close proximity to
the Inscription Hill and Pan Quemado petroglyph sites, Cerro Prieto also s
one of the largest and most complex U.S. archaeological sites featuring
trincheras – massive rock-work terraces built on steep hillsides. The site’s
archaeological features were constructed and used by the Hohokam culture
during the Tanque Verde phase (AD 1150-1300) and include house foundations,
waffle gardens, check dams, trail systems, petroglyphs, rock walls, talus
pits, and a stone source used to produce agave knives, suggesting its use
for a variety of residential functions, ceremonies, and agriculture. During
this trip, Yoeme traditional culture specialist Felipe Molina will discuss
the significance of Chukui Kawi to the Yoeme, and archaeologist Al Dart will
lead us to some of the Cerro Prieto trincheras and the nearby Pan Quemado
and Inscription Hill petroglyphs.

Thursday November 15, 2018: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “The Peaceful Enemies: Tucson’s Apaches de
Paz, 1786-1873” by historian Jim Turner at 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) 
      Apaches de Paz, the ‘Peaceful Enemies’ (Apachu means “enemy” in Zuni),
were also known as Manso Apaches. When they immigrated from the Great Plains
the Athapaskan-speaking Apache retained their hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
That included raiding, which led to violence and retaliatory attacks. But in
1786 New Spain’s Viceroy Bernardo de Galvez called for a plan that involved
forming peace camps for the Apaches. If they agreed to settle in camps near
the presidios the Apaches would receive allotments of beef, blankets, and
guns. The Spanish army also provided the Mansos with horses and used them as
auxiliary troops against other Apaches who were still raiding. The Galvez
plan was successful for several decades, and by 1871 there were still more
than a hundred Apaches de Paz living near Tucson and others who had
intermarried with the Tohono O’odham and lived near San Xavier Mission.
