(1) OLD PUEBLO RECEIVES ARIZONA HUMANITIES GRANT
 
      Arizona Humanities has provided a $5,000 grant for archaeologist Dr.
Deni J. Seymour’s “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham?” project that is being
administered through Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. Through the creation of
a video, interactive lectures and discussions, Dr. Seymour and Old Pueblo
have teamed together to promote understanding of the human experience
through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham (the people of the Tohono O’odham
Nation’s San District) and their ancestors. Using discussions and interviews
with Wa:k O’odham community members, the video and subsequent discussions
will highlight issues of how public policy, politics, and economic interest
have influenced our understanding of the Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage
has been shaped and in some cases erased.
      This Arizona Humanities-supported project involves production of a 4-
to 10-minute video on the unique history of the direct ancestors of the
people of San Xavier, Arizona, who call themselves the Wa:k O’odham. The
project will highlight how they are more directly related to the ancestral
Sobaípuri O’odham than their Tohono O’odham neighbors to the west. The video
will be uploaded to Vimeo and will also be on display at Tubac Presidio
State Park and in the education center at the San Xavier Indian Reservation
south of Tucson. During production it will be reviewed by Wa:k O’odham and
will include taped interviews with some of them. To stimulate further
discussion, the video will be shown free of charge at the Wa:k community,
and it will be the focus of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s November 16,
2017, “Third Thursday Food for Thought” dinner program. 
      Old Pueblo is supporting Dr. Seymour’s research and scholarship for
this project because it helps fulfill Old Pueblo’s mission, which is to
educate children and adults to understand and appreciate archaeology and
other cultures, to foster the preservation of archaeological and historical
sites, and to develop a lifelong concern for the importance of nonrenewable
resources and traditional cultures.
      We offer our sincere thanks to Arizona Humanities for its support of
this project!

Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at 6:30pm
      “The Life and Times of Tom Jeffords, Friend of Cochise” free
presentation by Doug Hocking sponsored by the nonprofit Pueblo Grande Museum
Auxiliary (PGMA) at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, 4619 E.
Washington St., Phoenix**
      6:30-8 p.m. Free 
      Tom Jeffords grew up in Ashtabula, Ohio, without much education and
was promoted to lake captain in his early twenties. The lure of making his
fortune called Tom west to the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush, the San Juan Rush and
to the Colorado River. He scouted and was dispatch rider for the Army during
the Civil War and was present at its bloodiest battle. After the war, he
prospected, scouted and helped start Tucson’s mail service. Along the way,
he met Cochise, then the most feared Apache chief, and the two became
friends so that he was able to guide General O.O. Howard to the chief and
negotiate peace. This program was made possible by Arizona Humanities.
Speaker Doug Hocking is an independent scholar who has completed advanced
studies in American history, ethnology and historical archaeology. He is a
retired Army officer who has lived among the Jicarilla Apache and paisanos
of the Rio Arriba (Northern New Mexico). He writes both fiction and history
and is currently working on a biography of Tom Jeffords and has two
historical novels in print: Massacre at Point of Rocks and Mystery of Chaco
Canyon.

Saturday, April 8, 2017: Tucson
      “Last Living History Day of the Season” at  the Presidio San Agustín
del Tucson Museum, 196 N. Court Ave., Tucson*
      10 a.m.-3 p.m. Free with regular Museum admission: adults $5, ages
6-14 $1, children 5 and under (and Presidio Trust members) free
      At Living History Day visitors will experience the day-to-day lives of
soldiers and their families who lived in the Tucson Presidio in the late
1700s. Demonstrations of children’s games, candle making, weaving, and
blacksmithing will be held, and fresh baked bread and handmade tortillas
will be available to sample. Soldiers will practice their drills and fire a
four-pound bronze cannon, a replica of cannons used at the Presidio in the
late 1700s. Interactive opportunities will allow visitors to pump the
bellows of the blacksmith’s forge, spin cotton, and learn how the soldiers
fired their muskets. The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum, located on
the northeast corner of the original Presidio and managed by the
not-for-profit Tucson Presidio Trust for Historic Preservation, is a
reconstruction of the original Tucson Presidio built in 1775.  Docent tours
give visitors a glimpse of what life in the Presidio was like for soldiers
and other residents.  Additional highlights include an original 150-year-old
Sonoran row house and a 2,000-year-old prehistoric pithouse.

Tuesday April 11, 2017: Camp Verde, AZ     
      “The Significance of Prehistoric Cotton in Central and Northern
Arizona” presentation by archaeologist Kimberly Spurr, sponsored by Verde
Valley Archaeology Center (VVAC) at Cliff Castle Casino Hotel, 555 Middle
Verde Rd, Camp Verde*
      6:30-8 p.m. Free for VVAC members; $5 donation is suggested for
nonmembers 
      In this presentation archaeologist Kim Spurr will discuss how
prehistoric agriculture in the Southwest is typically equated with corn,
beans, and squash. Another important crop was cotton, which provided both
food and fibers for weaving. Cotton was cultivated throughout the Southwest
but had limited distribution in central and northern Arizona due to its need
for ample water and a long growing season. Recent excavations and genetic
studies have expanded our understanding of the role of cotton in prehistoric
commerce and society. This presentation will highlight cotton textiles from
the VVAC’s Dyck Rockshelter collection and will provide a broad background
on the uses and cultural significance of cotton in the Southwest.
Professional archaeologist Kimberly Spurr is Archaeology Division Director
at the Museum of Northern Arizona and Vice-President of the VVAC.

Monday April 17, 2017: Tucson
      “Raising Time to the Level of Explication: 13,000 Years of Adaptation
in the Sonoran Desert at La Playa, SON F:10:3” free presentation by John
Philip Carpenter 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
      Research at the extraordinary La Playa site, SON F:10:3, located in
the Boquillas Valley of Sonora, Mexico, is now entering its twenty-third
year. La Playa presents an archaeological landscape revealing evidence of
more or less continuous human use since the Paleoindian period, circa 13,000
years ago. Its most intensive use was during the Early Agricultural period
(3700-2050 cal BP, or 2100 BC-AD 150). After this period, the occupation of
the Boquillas Valley greatly diminished but the site was continuously
occupied by the Trincheras tradition people, Piman groups, French goat
herders, and even a hotel and restaurant was in operation there during the
1950s. Countless thousands of hornos (roasting features), several hundred
human inhumation and cremation burials, numerous dog burials, shell ornament
production and lithic reduction activity areas, caches of manos and tabular
“lapstone” slabs, and a schist quarry are the predominant features
associated with the Early Agricultural period. To date, we have investigated
a total of 620 archaeological features, including 310 mortuary features with
345 individuals (301 inhumations and 44 cremations), 30 canid inhumation
burials and 4 canid cremation burials, 1 burned pithouse, and 118 roasting
pit features. Maize kernels and cupules are present in 47 percent of the
analyzed roasting features. This lecture presents a cultural and historical
account of the long duration of these human occupations and their varied
adaptations represented in the archaeological record.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. No
reservations needed. For details visit www.az-arch-and-hist.org

Monday-Friday July 24-28, 2017: Tucson
      “Museum Summer Camp for Adults: Ancestral Pueblo Glaze Painted
Pottery” at the Arizona State Museum, 1013 E. University Blvd., Tucson*
      Times TBA. $480 ($440 fo ASM members ($280 or $240 tax deductible)
      Glaze painted pottery in the American Southwest is the only
pre-European glaze technology in the new world. Ancestral Pueblo peoples
began to make glaze paints in the early 14th C. and continued to make them
until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. After the revolt, the ingredients for glaze
paint recipes were no longer available and the recipes were eventually
forgotten. Camp participants will learn about the types of Pueblo glaze
painted pottery, and the relationship these types have with religious
practice, trade, and identity. They will then apply this knowledge to case
studies from the Rio Abajo of New Mexico, examining material that spans the
entire glaze-paint chronology. No prior training or experience required!
Lectures and will be offered in the mornings, with hands-on activities in
the afternoons. Space limited to 12.
      * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. To be added to

      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 Village, the San Martin Church and

Thursday November 16, 2017: Tucson
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought”
dinner featuring the presentation “Who Are the Sobaípuri O’odham: The
Sobaípuri Legacy at the San Xavier/Wa:k Community” by Deni J. Seymour, Tony
Burrell, and David Tenario at ****place, Tucson; cosponsored by Arizona
Humanities
      6 to 8:30 p.m. Free (Order your own dinner off of the restaurant’s
menu) 
      Over the last couple of decades much has been learned about the
Sobaípuri O'odham who inhabited southern Arizona’s Santa Cruz and San Pedro
valleys at the dawn of written history. However, their actual history
differs substantially in many ways from commonly held notions. The
archaeological and ethnohistoric research of the presenters provides new
perspectives on where and how the Sobaípuri lived, how long they occupied
the valleys of southern Arizona, their relationship to the ancient Hohokam,
and other topics. Special reference will be made to the Sobaípuri of San
Xavier del Bac (Wa:k), where descendant populations reside. Dr. Deni Seymour
is joined by her associates, Elder Tony Burrell and Cultural Specialist
David Tenario of Wa:k, in presenting their video entitled “Who Are the
Sobaípuri O’odham?” followed by interactive lectures and discussions.
Through these means they strive to promote understanding of the human
experience through the eyes of the Wa:k O’odham and their ancestors. Using
discussions and interviews with Wa:k O’odham community members, the video
and subsequent discussions highlight the issues of how public policy,
politics, and economic interest have influenced our understanding of the
Wa:k O’odham and how their heritage has been shaped and in some cases
erased. This program is sponsored by Arizona Humanities and Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center.

ancient artifacts. Modern Tohono O’odham offerings may be present in some of
the visited locations. Artifact collecting is not permitted, and photos are

(3) OLD PUEBLO ARCHAEOLOGY CENTER’S YOUTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS
 
      Reservations are taken continually for school classes and other
children’s groups take advantage of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s OPEN3
simulated archaeological excavation, OPENOUT archaeology outreach
presentations, and archaeological site-touring children’s education
programs.
 
The OPEN3 Simulated Archaeological Excavation Education Program
 
      The Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood (OPEN) program allows students
and adults to learn what archaeology is all about by excavation in “OPEN3,”
a full-scale model of an archaeological site.  OPEN3 is a simulated
excavation site that archaeologists have constructed to resemble a southern
Arizona Hohokam Indian ruin. It has full-size replicas of prehistoric
pithouses and outdoor features that the Hohokam used for cooking, storage,
and other (sometimes surprising) purposes. Students participating in the
program get to learn and practice techniques used to excavate real
archaeological sites. They are also exposed to scientific interpretation of
how ancient people constructed their houses, what they looked like, ate, and
believed in, and how they created beauty in their lives.
 
OPENOUT Archaeology Outreach Presentations
 
      Old Pueblo’s OPEN­OUT (Old Pueblo Educational Neighborhood Outreach)
program offers 45-60 minute presenta­tions by pro­fes­sional archaeologists.
Each presentation shows kids how some aspects of everyday life have changed
while others have stayed the same.
       The “Ancient People of Arizona” presentation gives children an
overview of how the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi), Mogollon, and Hohokam
peoples lived.
      The “Lifestyle of the Hohokam” program shows children how the ancient
Hohokam lived.
      The “Ancient People of Arizona” and “Lifestyle of the Hohokam”
presentations both include real and replica artifacts, plus abundant
illustrations to help children experience how prehistoric Native Americans
of our area lived and to appreciate the arts they created. 
      “What is an Archaeologist?” is a program designed to give children an
idea of what archaeologists do, how they do it, and how they learn about
people through their work. This presentation includes examples of the tools
archaeologists work with, real and replica artifacts, and activities to help
children experience how archaeologists interpret the past.
      The hands-on materials and fun lesson plans in our OPENOUT programs
bring archaeology and the past alive for children and are a per­fect prelude
for the OPEN3 simulated archaeological excavation program.
 
Tours for Youth
            
      Old Pueblo Archaeology Center offers guided tours to real
archaeological sites for classrooms and other organized children’s groups.
Heritage sites that can be visited in this program include a choice of the
Picture Rocks petroglyphs site (visited by the school group shown in the
accompanying photo), Los Morteros Hohokam Village, or Vista del Rio Hohokam
Village. Each youth tour is a guided visit that does not include
archaeological excavation; participants are not allowed to collect
artifacts.
