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.
            To register for the Zoom webinar go to  <https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O9eeHOzDTFqHrcPrNGiaBw> https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O9eeHOzDTFqHrcPrNGiaBw. For more information contact Old Pueblo at  <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] or 520-798-1201.

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.
      Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday May 15, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or  <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
 
Sundays-Wednesdays May 15-24 and May 29-June 7, 2023: Brewster County, TX
            The Center for Big Bend Studies (CBBS) at Sul Ross State University is seeking volunteers to help uncover a possible Clovis occupation context at the Genevieve Lykes Duncan archaeological site in Brewster County, Texas.
            Times TBA. Free.
            The Genevieve Lykes Duncan (GLD) site on the O2 Ranch contains evidence of multiple ancient human occupations, mostly deeply buried, with a few artifact materials visible on the surface. Previous investigations conducted by the CBBS firmly established the presence of deeply buried hot rock cooking ovens dating back to 10,800 years, some of the oldest in North America. Early backhoe-trench testing at the site found Clovis-aged charred plant material below the earth ovens level, suggesting the site may contain cultural deposits predating the Late Paleoindian period (before 11,000 years ago). CBBS is seeking volunteers to help excavate some of the possible Clovis strata.
            * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. A signed waiver of liability is required to enter the site. For more information about the GLD site visit  <https://www.sulross.edu/news/cbbs-seeking-volunteers-at-possible-clovis-dig-site/> https://www.sulross.edu/news/cbbs-seeking-volunteers-at-possible-clovis-dig-site/.

Tuesday May 2, 2023: Cortez, CO & online
            “The Earliest Great Houses: Type I Masonry and Multi-Story Construction at Mitchell Springs” free presentation with archaeologist Dave Dove, sponsored by the Hisatsinom Chapter, Colorado Archaeological Society, at First United Methodist Church, 515 N. Park St., Cortez, Colorado, and online*
            7-8 pm Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). Free.
            The earliest great houses in Chaco Canyon were constructed during the mid to late 800s using a specific variety of masonry style known as Type I. Pueblos there that contain early cores of rooms built in this style include Pueblo Bonito, Penasco Blanco, and Una Vida. Very few great houses with early cores of Type I masonry rooms have been identified in the northern San Juan region, and where they have been found there is some question about when they were originally built. To address the timing of the Type I style in the Montezuma Valley, Dave Dove will talk about evidence from Mitchell Springs that suggests when the Type I rooms there were constructed and how the early great house world in this region might have looked in its earliest days. Dave Dove has been active in archaeology lifelong and continues his work today at the two main Mitchell Springs sites and at Champagne Springs.

Monday May 8, 2023: Online
            “Sandals and Sandal Symbolism in Greater Bears Ears and Beyond” free online presentation with archaeologist Benjamin A. Bellorado, PhD, sponsored by Colorado Rock Art Association, Denver*
            7 pm Mountain Daylight Time. Free. 
            Studies of dressing practices can tell us a lot about how ancient societies marked territories, signaled group affiliations, and reinforced social structures across long-lived social landscapes. Research into archaeological clothing is infrequent because perishable materials like clothing rarely survive the ravages of time, even in the arid Southwest. However, of all the types of garments used by Ancestral Pueblo people, thousands of yucca sandals have preserved, were recovered by archaeologists, and are available for study. In addition, Ancestral Pueblo people in the greater Bears Ears area and larger region commonly depicted sandals in rock art, building murals, stone effigies, and occasionally in pottery designs, which allows us to understand the social context of sandal use. Ben Bellorado will discuss his recent research that leads to insights on how archaeologists can begin to understand the ways that sandals functioned in Ancestral Pueblo communities in the greater Bears Ears area, particularly during the expansion of the Chaco regional system (1000-1150) and in the post-Chaco era (1150-1300).

Wednesday May 10, 2023: Cave Creek, AZ
            “Ancient Water Management in the Arizona Desert” free presentation by geoarchaeologist Gary Huckleberry, PhD, for Desert Foothills Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society meeting at Good Shepherd of the Hills Fellowship Hall, 6502 E. Cave Creek Rd., Cave Creek, Arizona*
            7 pm refreshment & socialization, 7:30 presentation. Free.
            Arizona has a long history of people managing water for agriculture and human consumption. Evidence for ancient water management is found across the state and includes canals, reservoirs, and wells. The earliest irrigation canals and reservoirs thus far identified are in the Tucson area and date to around 1500 and 500 BCE, respectively. Through time, canal systems expanded in size, culminating in the impressive network of channels built by the Hohokam (450-1450 CE) along the lower Salt and middle Gila rivers. Dr. Gary Huckleberry will review the diversity of evidence, focusing on archaeological discoveries made in the Sonoran Desert region of central and southern Arizona, and discuss what lessons we might gain by studying these ancient features with respect to today’s water challenges. Gary Huckleberry is an independent consultant and adjunct researcher at the University of Arizona who specializes in soils, landforms, and archaeology.

Monday May 15, 2023: Online
            “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, 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.

            “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.

            “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.

Thursday May 25, 2023: Tucson and online
            “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.

            “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.

            “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.

            “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.

Thursday July 20, 2023: Online
            “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.

Saturdays August 19 & 26 & September 2 & 9, 2023: Tucson
            “Gender in Archaeology” Master Class taught by Suzanne L. Eckert, PhD, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum (ASM) in Environmental & Natural Resources (ENR) Bldg. 2, Room N595, University of Arizona, Tucson*
            10 am-12 pm on each date. $180 (ASM members $150). Amount paid over $100 is a tax-deductible gift to support Dr. Eckert's research projects. Credit card payments incur a 3% fee.
            The archaeological record is extraordinarily rich and varied, yet for most of its history as a field of study archaeology has failed to recognize gender as a viable research topic. This four-part Master Class presents an introduction to archaeological research on women and gender since the 1960s. It will explore the ways in which a consciousness of gender can offer a more in-depth understanding of the archaeological record and how the study of gender challenges traditional archaeological culture histories as well as how it impacts modern thought. Limited to 20 participants. Dr. Suzanne L. Eckert is the Head of Collections at ASM and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona.

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)

      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.
