OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER’S ACTIVITIES IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO
Thursday May 18, 2023: Online
“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “Making and Breaking Waves: Feminist Thought in Anthropology’s History” presentation by anthropologist Ruth Burgett Jolie, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). Free.
In some circles, “the F-word” is “feminism”- a dirty word not to be discussed in good company. Yet, feminism, the political movement advocating for women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality, is an important concept to discuss as it is influenced by the social context in which we live. Feminism has impacted our day-to-day lives as well as anthropology as a discipline. This presentation provides a brief history of feminism in the United States, considers how feminism has impacted anthropology, and concludes with a discussion of how anthropology has impacted feminism. Dr. Ruth Burgett Jolie is Associate Curator of Education at the Arizona State Museum and affiliated Associate Professor of Anthropology in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.

Saturday & Sunday May 20 & 21, 2023: Prescott & Prescott Valley, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Coyote Ruin, Fitzmaurice Ruin, and Museum of Indigenous People” tour with archaeologist Andrew Christenson, PhD, Prescott, Arizona.
11:30 am Saturday to 12 noon Sunday. $99 donation per person ($80 for members of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center or Friends of S’edav Va’aki Museum) covers all site entry fees and Old Pueblo’s expenses.
Archaeologist Dr. Andy Christenson leads this tour to two archaeological sites of west-central Arizona’s Prescott culture and to one of Arizona’s oldest anthropology museums. For the Coyote Ruin in Prescott, which was occupied from perhaps the 900s until after 1300 CE, excavations in the 1920s are the earliest in the Prescott area for which we have documentation. In 1998 and later additional excavations were conducted in 11 of Coyote’s 26 masonry rooms and two of its 10 pit structures, and many agricultural and water-control features were recorded. The Fitzmaurice Ruin on and near a prominent hilltop in Prescott Valley includes a 27-room pueblo and outlying structures dating between 1140 and 1300, stone-outlined areas interpreted as terraced and possibly canal-irrigated garden plots, and at least one petroglyph. Prescott’s Museum of Indigenous People, originally the Smoki Museum, is a complex of stone buildings completed in 1935 by a non-Native, community-minded social group, the “Smoki People,” with assistance from Depression-era work program participants. Participants are responsible for their own transportation, lodging, and meals.
Reservations and donations are due by 5 pm Thursday May 18: 520-798-1201 or <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]

Thursday June 15, 2023: Online
“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “A Photo Essay of the Apache Surrender” presentation by historian Bill Cavaliere, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). Free.
Using a comparison of old photographs with recent ones taken of the same places, Bill Cavaliere will discuss the Chiricahua Apaches and their early frontier photographers, with the emphasis on C. S. Fly, Ben Wittick, and A. Frank Randall. Cavaliere travelled far and wide to locate the scenes where the 1800s shots were taken. Some were very easy to find, such as the photographs taken at Fort Bowie, while others were more difficult, especially ones taken by Tombstone photographer C. S. Fly in Cañon de los Embudos in northern Sonora, Mexico, which entailed modern-day driving on rough four-wheel-drive roads through remote areas disputed by rival drug cartels. Bill’s obsession was finding the location of Fly’s famous “Council Photo” that depicts Geronimo and other hostile Apaches negotiating peace terms with General George Crook and his soldiers.

TFFPS (Texas Folsom Fluted Point Survey): Call for Data*
The Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory (TARL) requests assistance in collecting and updating artifact information to be included in the inaugural edition of Texas Folsom Fluted Point Survey. Phase 1 of this survey, already under way, is a comprehensive literature review and reaching out to professional and avocational archaeologists, collectors, and the general public who may have information on Folsom fluted points from Texas and counties bordering Texas. TARL anticipates that a comprehensive study and a resulting database of Texas Folsom points will greatly complement the existing Texas Clovis point database and will be a valuable resource for Texas Paleoindian archaeology.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center activity. To participate in the survey contact Alan M. Slade at 512-468-4664 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> .
Monday May 15, 2023: Glendale, AZ
“Southwestern Rock Calendars and Ancient Time Pieces” free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for Glendale Public Library-Foothills Library, 19055 N 57th Ave, Glendale. Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
6:30-8 pm. Free.
Native Americans in the U.S. Southwest developed sophisticated skills in astronomy and predicting the seasons, centuries before non-Indian peoples entered the region. In this presentation archaeologist Allen Dart discusses the petroglyphs at Picture Rocks, the architecture of the “Great House” at Arizona's Casa Grande Ruins, and other archaeological evidence of ancient southwestern astronomy and calendrical reckoning, and interprets how these discoveries may have related to ancient Native American rituals. This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities.

“The Legacy of New Deal Programs to Northern Arizona and Southwest Archaeology” free online presentation by archaeologist Peter J. Pilles, Jr., sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
During the 1930s, federal New Deal programs financed and supported a number of archaeological projects in northern Arizona. Within National Parks and Monuments, surveys and excavations were undertaken so that people could see archaeological sites and visitor centers were constructed to display and interpret archaeology for the public. Several major expeditions by the Museum of Northern Arizona were also supported by New Deal programs. Excavations from 1933 to 1939 were directed by professional archaeologists employed by the Museum with laborers and students financed by the US Civil Works Administration, Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and the Works Progress Administration. This work took place during a time when little was known about precontact northern Arizona and the field of Southwestern archaeology was relatively new. The Museum’s excavations formed the basis for numerous publications by Harold S. Colton and his colleagues that greatly influenced the next 80 years of archaeological research and National Park Service interpretation. This presentation explores the relationship of archaeological research conducted by the Museum with federal New Deal Programs and its enduring legacy to the archaeological profession and the American public. Peter Pilles has been the Forest Archaeologist for the Coconino National Forest since 1975.

Wednesday May 17-Friday July 7, 2023: Roosevelt Lake, AZ
“Archaeological Survey Course” directed by archaeologist Chris Caseldine, PhD, on the Tonto National Forest in the Roosevelt Lake vicinity of central Arizona*
Times TBA. Free.
Dr. Chris Caseldine will be running a survey class on the north side of Roosevelt Lake this summer in connection with ancient trail work he has started there. The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to archaeological field methods including pedestrian surveying, site documentation, and in-the-field artifact identification, as well as the basics of federal cultural resource management compliance. Participants will camp in one of the US Forest Service campgrounds Wednesday and Thursday nights, and survey Thursday and Friday. The work may continue as a total volunteer project until the end of July.

Wednesday May 17, 2023: Online
“First Peoples of Great Salt Lake: A Cultural Landscape” free online Brown Bag Webinar with archaeologist Steven R. Simms, PhD, sponsored by Utah State Historic Preservation Office, Salt Lake City*
This is a story of more than 700 generations of Indigenous Americans in a cultural landscape centered on, but also much larger than, the Great Salt Lake. From Nevada, across Utah and Idaho, to the center of Wyoming is a cultural landscape whose deep history dissolves state lines. The story here takes a different approach to understanding the ancients than is typical of archaeology. It conveys findings from the natural and social sciences, but this is not a science book. It is not about objects. It is a story of place – where people lived and how they lived. It is a story of language histories, the mingling of peoples, Indigenous and immigrants, and the transformations that arise from interaction, both through cooperation and conflict. It is a story of cultural resilience, persistence, and a changing sense of place. It is a story far deeper in time than any modern genealogy can trace. Steve Simms is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Utah State University.

“Understanding the Mimbres through Bioarchaeology” free presentation by bioarchaeologist Kathryn Baustian, PhD, sponsored by Grant County Archaeological Society at the Mimbres Roundup Lodge, 91 Acklin Hill Road, Hanover (actually in San Lorenzo), New Mexico*
5 pm pot luck, 5:45 meeting starts, 6 pm featured speaker. Free.
At this month’s GCAS meeting in the Mimbres Valley, Dr. Katie Baustian will discuss how her work using bioarchaeological and archaeological methods explores the use of violence, adaptations to stress, and social relationships among the Mimbres and Mogollon peoples of the precontact US Southwest. She excavated for seven seasons at the Harris and Elk Ridge archaeological sites in the Mimbres Valley, and more recently has been conducting research at museum repositories to understand how human teeth can show evidence of relatedness and kinship in the region. Katie Baustian is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Thursday May 18, 2023: Sedona, AZ
“The Salado Phenomenon in the U.S. Southwest” free presentation by archaeologist Karen Schollmeyer, PhD, for Verde Valley Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society meeting at Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, Arizona*
3:30 pm. Free.
There is as a long history of debate over the Salado phenomenon: its origins, geographic extent, and whether Salado refers to a cultural group, religious movement, pottery ware, or some combination of all three. Much of this debate is due to the highly variable material culture across the region where Salado polychrome dominates decorated ceramic assemblages. This talk discusses some of the variability in what archaeologists call Salado, particularly in the Tonto Basin, San Pedro Valley, and Upper Gila areas of Arizona and New Mexico, and how this religious and social phenomenon supported successful multi-ethnic communities during the 14th and 15th centuries. Karen Schollmeyer is a preservation archaeologist with Archaeology Southwest, Tucson.

“San Ysidro Festival” sponsored by Friends of Tucson’s Birthplace at Mission Garden, 946 W. Mission Lane, Tucson*
8 am-12 pm. Free (Make a gift of any amount at the entrance gate
This festival celebrates the traditional wheat harvest in our region and demonstrates the traditional way wheat was harvested, threshed (with horses), winnowed, and milled into flour. Since wheat was adopted as a valued crop here in the 18th century, it has been harvested on Saint Isidore’s Day. (Saint Isidore/San Ysidro is the patron of laborers and farmers.) At the festival volunteers will demonstrate the traditional way wheat was harvested, threshed, winnowed and ground into flour, with sickles, baskets, the tahona (mill), and other traditional tools. And a horse will help with the threshing!

“Guided Tour to Black Cave and Vaquero Shelter” with archaeologist Katie Wilson sponsored by Shumla Archaeological Research & Education Center, meets at Shumla Center, 28 Langtry St., Comstock, Texas*
8 am. $120.
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.

“Excavating Tucson's Chinese-American Past: From South China Villages to a Southwest Pueblo” free presentation with anthropologist Laura W. Ng, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM) and the Tucson Chinese Cultural Center (TCCC), at the TCCC, 1288 W. River Rd., Tucson*
10:45 to noon. Free. A separate buffet lunch will follow the presentation.
During the 20th century, the Chinese American community in Tucson was dispersed; the majority of Chinese migrants operated grocery stores and restaurants that served multiethnic neighborhoods in the Old Pueblo. In 1968, the Tucson Urban Renewal project destroyed some of these Chinese-owned businesses, but buried deposits and standing structures related to Chinese migrants were archaeologically investigated. In this presentation Laura W. Ng, PhD, assistant professor of anthropology at Grinnell College, focuses on the archaeology of the so-called Ying On Association compound, which housed Chinese social organizations including a clubhouse as well as Chinese boarders. Census records show that virtually all of the Ying On residents were men, but Dr. Ng's research indicates these men were not “bachelors” or “sojourners” as they have been characterized, and that they had long and sustained interactions with their Indigenous and Mexican neighbors in Tucson.

“Ancestral Yuman Ceramics: Problems and Prospects” free presentation by anthropologist Aaron M. Wright for Rim Country Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society meeting at Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road, Payson, Arizona*
10 am. Free.
Research into the Ancestral Yuman World – better known as the Patayan archaeological tradition – is nearly a century in the making, but we still have a poor grasp of it relative to other cultural traditions of the North American Southwest. Chronological troubles and impediments are primarily to blame. The Patayan ceramic typology is the principal basis on which archaeologists date Ancestral Yuman sites and material, but studies have consistently shown that the chronology associated with it is inaccurate. This talk reviews the many problems and outlines fruitful ways forward with a case study from the lower Gila River.

“Reforging the Fremont Frontier” free online Brown Bag Webinar with archaeologist Katie Richards, PhD, sponsored by Utah State Historic Preservation Office, Salt Lake City*
11 am-12 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free.
For decades, archaeologists have debated how best to interpret the Fremont region. Because of its unique position, the material remains have often presented as an intriguing and confusing syncretic blend of Southwestern and other. Early Fremont archaeologists emphasized the similarities between the Fremont and other groups of the northern Southwest, earning the region the moniker of the Northern Periphery. In subsequent decades, however, archaeologists emphasized that the region was much more than a diluted version of a Puebloan Southwest core by focusing more on local development and downplaying connections to the Southwest. Katie Richards argues that Fremont is best understood when we explore the complex interplay of local development and Southwestern influence within the context of the social changes that occurred during the Pueblo II and Pueblo III periods in the northern Southwest. Dr. Richards received her BA. and MA from Brigham Young University and her PhD from Washington State University.

He has published more than a hundred articles and book chapters, as well as five books including the edited volumes The Archaeology of Mobility: Old World and New World Nomadism with Willeke Wendrich, The History of the Peoples of the Eastern Desert with Kim Duistermaat, and most recently, Archaeology Outside the Box” all published by the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press. The newest, Archaeology Outside the Box, intends to make contemporary archaeology germane to the general public as well as researchers in other disciplines. In 31 richly illustrated chapters, a variety of projects is presented by an international group of archaeologists, anthropologists, architects, and artists. These aim to broaden the applicability of archaeology by reflecting on archaeological remains in novel ways, or addressing contemporary concerns with archaeological theory and research methods. Demonstrating the fascinating and pertinent nature of archaeology, the authors go far beyond its definition as a discipline that unearths objects of ancient material culture.

“World Atlatl Day” free activities at S’edav Va’aki Museum, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
9 am to noon. Free (donations are welcome).
Celebrate World Atlatl Day and test your ancient hunting skills at S’edav Va’aki (formerly Pueblo Grande) Museum! The local primitive skills group, S.A.L.T. (Study of Ancient Lifeways and Technologies), will be conducting demonstrations of the atlatl, a weapon predating the bow and arrow. Used worldwide for thousands of years, it proved an effective weapon. A stick with a hook on the end held the dart/spear and increased the distance, speed, and force at which it could be thrown. No preregistration or experience is needed to join the demonstration. The Museum’s goals for this year’s World Atlatl Day are to increase awareness and appreciation of this ancient technology and have as many people throw an atlatl on a single day as possible.

“Between Casas Grandes and Salado: The Establishment of an Indigenous Borderland in the Late Prehispanic American Southwest/Mexican Northwest” free online presentation by archaeologist Thatcher Seltzer-Rogers sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
While archaeologists continue to investigate processes of culture contact and frontier construction in hunter-gatherer and small agricultural societies using models originally created for or applied to ancient states and modern geopolitical discourse, historians have recently begun investigating Indigenous borderlands. In this talk, Thatcher Seltzer-Rogers discusses his investigation into several spatially restricted culture areas along the US-Mexico border, including what archaeologists widely perceive to be a northern extension of the Casas Grandes culture, one of the most sociopolitically complex entities in the ancient American Southwest/Mexican Northwest. In so doing, he challenges prevailing interpretations of southeastern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, northeastern Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua, advocates the need for a more nuanced understanding of Indigenous power and transformation in a lesser-studied portion of the American Southwest/Mexican Northwest, and provide insight into the potential for collections-based research to greatly improve historically under-evaluated portions of the Southwest/Northwest. Thatcher Seltzer-Rogers is a PhD Candidate in the University of New Mexico Department of Anthropology, President of the Archaeological Society of New Mexico, Research Associate with the Jornada Research Institute, and Crew Chief for Aspen CRM Solutions.

“From Hope Chests to Museums: How Women Saved the West” free online presentation with Renea Dauntes sponsored by the Friends of the Texas Historical Commission, Austin*
6-7 pm Central Daylight Time. Free.
From hope chests to museums and everything in-between, women played a crucial role in saving the West. This unique presentation focuses on how women were originators, caretakers, and stewards whose efforts helped retain important parts of history. The myriad ways knowledge was transferred from generation to generation were all subject to the guiding hands of dedicated women. Renea Dauntes grew up disinterested in the Texas Panhandle region’s history but has come to revel in the tales forged by pioneers.

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring “’O’odham Place Names: Meanings, Origins and Histories” presentation by Harry J. Winters, Jr., PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). Free.
When he was 14 or 15 years old, Harry Winters, Jr., came across John D. Mitchell’s 1953 book Lost Mines and Buried Treasures along the Old Frontier. Mitchell’s tales inspired him to become a geological engineer in the mining industry, partly because of his interest in mathematics, physics, geology and engineering, but also because mining geology (which he calls “modern prospecting”) offered the opportunity to roam the deserts and mountains. He began prospecting and camping in the Arizona desert, and in 1956 he and his friend Ted McIntyre drove into the Tohono O'odham Nation lands (then known as the Papago Indian Reservation). Eventually their 1947 Plymouth got stuck in a narrow wash and an ’O’odham man came over to see what had happened. That fellow, Enos Miguel, didn’t speak English and the boys didn’t speak ’O’odham, but Enos could see what was needed so walked over to his house, brought out a shovel and some boards, and soon Harry and Ted were on their way. Enos was Harry’s first of many O'odham friends made over the next six-plus decades. Combining those friendships with his interest in geology and Native place names, Harry learned the ’O’odham language, spoke with lots of ’O’odham about their knowledge of the landscape, and eventually authored the 1,002-page (not counting the 56 pages in the table of contents and other front matter) tome ’O'odham Place Names: Meanings, Origins and Histories, Arizona and Sonora, Second Edition (2020, SRI Press, Tucson). In this month’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation, Dr. Harry Winters, Jr., recounts some of his travels and shares some of his deep knowledge of the ’O’odham landscape lore on both sides of the modern US-Mexico border.

Saturday October 7, 2023: 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 am to 1 pm. $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and Friends of S’edav Va’aki 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 late 19th and early 20th centuries. 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.
