Wednesday December 6, 2023: Tucson
“Presidio District Tour – Why is Tucson the City It is Today” walking
tour with historian Ken Scoville, sponsored by the Presidio San Agustín del
Tucson Museum, beginning at the 1928 Pima County Courthouse, 115 N Church
Ave, Tucson*
10 am-12 pm. $30 ($20 Presidio Museum members).
Beginning at Tucson’s 1928 Pima County Courthouse, guide Ken Scoville
will discuss the archaeological efforts to find the Spanish presidio (fort),
two earlier courthouses built at this same location, and the beginning of
the burg now known as “the Old Pueblo.” El Presidio Historic District
provides many of the answers to why Tucson is the city it is today. Homes
constructed there responded to and later denied the desert environment. The
constant pressure for change and real estate speculation in a growing city
is also a part of the story as the infancy of historic districts established
the desire to preserve the buildings and landscape environment of an area
that connects to important past events and people in the community and
nation.

“Good Fences Make Good Neighbors and Other Proverbs from the
Pleistocene” free online presentation by archaeologist Todd Surovell, PhD,
sponsored by the Pueblo Archaeological & Historical Society, Pueblo,
Colorado, and Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, Cortez, Colorado*
4 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free (donations encouraged).
Dr. Surovell examines the social organization of nomadic peoples in
three case studies: the late Pleistocene Barger Gulch Locality B (Colorado)
and La Prele Mammoth site (Wyoming) archaeological sites and the Dukha
reindeer herders (northern Mongolia) ethnographic case. Dr. Surovell looks
at whether and why people move together as large groups or as autonomous
households, in the latter case generating the kind of fission-fusion
dynamics typical of recent hunter-gatherers. He concludes that in every case
fluid group membership was the norm and argues that the interplay of
cooperation and conflict has resulted in the use of a common organizational
strategy among nomadic peoples. Furthermore, the transition to sedentary
life must have necessitated novel cultural practices to cope with the loss
of the ability to mitigate conflict through mobility.

“Seeing the Light of Day: Rock Paintings and Radiocarbon Dating in
Southern California” free online presentation with Steve Freers, sponsored
by San Diego Rock Art Association (SDRAA), San Diego*
4 pm Pacific Standard Time. Free.
Significant advances in technology, recording, and conceptual models
have greatly improved our understanding of rock art in southern California.
In this presentation, Steve Freers, coauthor of Fading Images (1994, with
Gerald Smith) and Rock Art of the Grand Canyon Region (2013, with Don
Christensen and Jerry Dickey) updates his 1994 “A Shamanistic Pictograph
Site in Northern San Diego County” article with new information regarding
this region’s pictograph sites. A particular focus will be on ones that
feature the use of black pigments. Radiocarbon data from several pictograph
sites incorporating three of this region’s published rock art styles will be
presented, and information will be compared against a recently proposed Late
Period chronological model and applied to pertinent rock art and
ethnographic questions.

Monday December 11, 2023: Tucson
“Fort Lowell Neighborhood Walking Tour” with historian and
preservationist Ken Scoville starting at Fort Lowell Park, 2900 N. Craycroft
Rd., Tucson*
9:30-11:30 am. $30 ($20 for Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum
member).
The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson Museum sponsors this this
1.5-mile-long tour with Ken Scoville that explains how most of the cultural
layers of Tucson are present in the Fort Lowell area – much more than just
the territorial fort and staging area for the final Indian campaign against
Geronimo. The oasis of water and trees at the confluence of the Pantano Wash
and the Tanque Verde Creek, which became the Rillito (little river), was a
draw for many residents from at least as early as the fifth century
including the precontact Hohokam, later farmers from Mexico, and in 1873 the
United States military. In the late 19th and early 20th century the small
farming community of El Fuerte was established there, and in the teens and
twenties artists and dreamers joined to restore some of the fort’s adobe
ruins. By the 1950s huge population growth led to pressures for change. The
Fort Lowell Historic District was created to help preserve this unique area.

“Recent Finds: ‘Emerging Stories in Petroglyphs’” free presentation
by Richard Gonsalves for San Tan Chapter, Arizona Archaeological Society,
Queen Creek, Arizona*
6:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
No one really knows what the petroglyphs mean but some meanings are
coming out. Petroglyphs in the American Southwest tell many stories from
astronomical to cultural, and some people believe some of them may have
connections to the Aztec and Chinese. Growing up in Snowflake, Ariozna,
Richard Gonsalves has always enjoyed the outdoors. He has hiked and
picnicked in northern Arizona his whole life and has always wondered what
the petroglyphs were all about. He is currently the President of the Agave
House Chapter in Heber/Overgaard of the Arizona Archaeological Society.

Monday December 18, 2023: Tucson and online
“The Risks and Rewards of Social Networks in the Ancient Southwest”
free presentation by archaeologist Matthew Peeples, PhD, sponsored by
Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), optional online or in
Environmental & Natural Resources (ENR) Bldg. 2, Room 107 (ground-floor
auditorium), 1064 E. Lowell St., University of Arizona, Tucson*
7-8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Archaeological data provide the only direct source of information for
exploring the structure and dynamics of social systems beyond the historical
record. Not only are archaeologists increasingly able to replicate the
findings of other social scientists, they are also beginning to discover
patterns in human societies that transcend the timescales typically
considered in comparative research. In this talk Dr. Matt Peeples, associate
professor in Arizona State University’s School of Human Evolution and Social
Change and Director of the ASU Center for Archaeology and Society, outlines
the efforts of the one large collaborative research team (cyberSW) over the
last 15 years to apply network methods and models toward questions at the
intersection of social networks and culture. This research involves the
analyses of a massive settlement and material culture database spanning a
period of 1,000 years across the U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest. This
work suggests that the nature of networks and the risks and rewards
associated with network positions are historically contingent and tied to
broader trends in political complexity and demographic scale. Large-scale
archaeological network studies have considerable potential for revealing
comparative insights both within archaeology and beyond.
* This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center-sponsored event. For
in-person meeting, no reservations are needed and $1/hr parking is available

“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
the presentation “Healing and Health in Hopi, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo)
Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine” by anthropologist Sharonah
Fredrick, PhD, sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577,
Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free.
Archaeological finds, colonial Spanish chronicles, and most importantly, the
living memories of tribal elders in Central America, South America, and the
American Southwest demonstrate not only extraordinary botanical medical
knowledge, but understandings of surgery and osteopathy that contradict
stereotypes of Native peoples as always and only practicing “spiritual”
medicine. It is spiritual, mental, and deeply physical, and has been so for
millennia. Through understanding the causal links between spiritual,
physical, mental, and environmental factors, Native medicine systems, when
allied with Western holistic and conventional medicine, have been able to
produce superb results for health and well-being. How can we learn from
these systems, how can we respect Native science without appropriating it,
and what are the connections between the stories of the Cosmic Twins in
Native cultures and their healing abilities for human mental health? The
Hopi, Mayan, and Andean Yauyo cultures are all characterized by village
autonomy and diversity of thought and theory regarding their own beliefs, a
trait that has previously only been associated with so-called Western
societies. The importance of the Twin metaphor and its connections with
healing focus on the need to find continual balance between shifting polar
opposites that are life itself. In this view, health is based on balance,
not elimination of the bad.

“Before There Was a Canoa (and After): A Brief Cultural History of
Southern Arizona’s Middle Santa Cruz Valley” presentation by archaeologist
Allen Dart, part of the 2024 Native Peoples, Native Voices speaker series at
Historic Canoa Ranch, 5375 S. I-19 Frontage Road, Green Valley, Arizona
(accessible from I-19 Canoa Road Exit 56)*
1 to 2:30 pm. $5 per person plus Activenet registration fee
approximately $3/ticket. (Purchase multiple tickets together to lower the
per-ticket fee.) Cash will not be accepted at the door.
The Santa Cruz River valley’s Canoa vicinity south of Green Valley
was inhabited by O’odham and Yaqui Indians who trace their ancestry to
pre-Spanish and colonial-period times. From an early era the constant source
of water at “La Canoa” made it an oasis for farming and ranching, and an
important stop for travelers in the dry Sonoran Desert. This presentation
looks at archaeological evidence of pre-Spanish Canoa residents who were
affiliated with the Hohokam culture to the north and with Upper Santa Cruz
Valley people to the south. Sobaípuri O'odham, Akimel O'odham, Tohono
O'odham, Apache, Jocome, Manso, and other Indigenous peoples who were
present when Spanish explorers first visited in the 1690s will be discussed,
along with 1691-1821 Spanish explorations and colonialism, Yaqui Indians who
arrived with the Spanish (if not before), the 1821-1854 Mexican governmental
period and its establishment of the San Ignacio de la Canoa Land Grant, and
the post-1854 American period.

Thursday January 18, 2024: Online
“Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program featuring
the presentation “The Perils of Dyhydrogen Monoxide – Challenging Hembrillo
Canyon 1880 Myths of the Apache Wars” by historian Robert N. Watt, PhD,
sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, PO Box 40577, Tucson AZ 85717
7 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
This month’s Third Thursday presenter Dr. Robert N. Watt, University
of Birmingham, UK, completed his trilogy on the Victorio Campaign of
1877-1881 in 2019 after almost 20 years of research. His presentation will
challenge several myths concerning the two engagements between the US Army
Ninth Cavalry and Apaches led by Victorio in southern New Mexico’s Hembrillo
Canyon and Basin between April 5 and 7, 1880. Historic records tell of the
drinking of tainted water and overnight siege of Captain Henry Carroll’s two
Ninth Cavalry companies in Hembrillo Basin on April 6-7, 1880, and include
Lt. John Conline’s detailed report of a skirmish between Company A, Ninth
Cavalry, and Victorio’s warriors on April 5 of that year. Archaeologist Karl
Laumbach’s archaeological and archive research has shown that these accounts
are inaccurate. Historian Robert Watt’s archive research supports Laumbach’s
conclusions and challenges additional myths that the US Army knew the
location of Victorio’s camp and that the operation to trap Victorio was
undermined by Captain Carroll attacking too early.
Following up on Laumbach’s work, Bob Watt has found that the US
Army’s letters and telegrams sent and received prior to this operation also
tell a very different story than that which was entered into the official
record after the event. He has published articles on this conflict in Small
Wars and Insurgencies (2002), The New Mexico Historical Review (2011 and
2022), War in History (two articles in 2011), The Southwestern Historical
Quarterly (2015), and in an article in The Journal of Military History
(2016) that was awarded the Moncado Prize.

Saturday January 27, 2024: Marana, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Archaeological Sites of the Marana
Hohokam Platform Mound Community” tour guided by archaeologists Paul and
Suzanne Fish, departing from 13961 N. Sandario Rd., Marana, Arizona
8:30 am to noon. $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center
and S'edav Va'aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old Pueblo’s education
programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
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 Hohokam agricultural field locations
including specialized ones for agave cultivation, and a secondary compound
center on the Tortolita Mountains bajada. The Marana Mound site is one of
the very few Hohokam Early Classic period (1150-1300 CE) 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 pm Monday January 22. 520-798-1201 or

Wednesdays January 31, February 7, 14, 21, 28, & March 6, 2024: Online
“Recent Discoveries Regarding Point of Pines Pueblo” online Master
Class taught by Patrick D. Lyons, PhD, sponsored by the Arizona State Museum
(ASM), Tucson*
10 am-12 pm Mountain Standard Time on each date. $180 (ASM members
$150). Credit card payments incur a 3% fee.
Excavated from 1946 to 1958 by the Arizona State Museum and the
University of Arizona Department (now School) of Anthropology, Point of
Pines Pueblo was the largest late pre-Hispanic settlement in the mountains
of Arizona, consisting of as many as 800 rooms. It has long been at the
center of discussions about ancient migrations in the US Southwest and
interactions between locals and immigrants. However, a lack of systematic
analysis of the collections from the site and a dearth of published data
about it have left generations of researchers in the position of having to
make assumptions about social processes unfolding in the Point of Pines
region based on Emil W. Haury's 1958 six-page summary of his complex
inferences. In this six-session Master Class, Dr. Patrick D. Lyons, ASM
Director and Curator, and Professor of Anthropology will guide participants
through the results of four recent studies focused on unpublished
collections from the site and their associated records, including original
fieldnotes, maps, and photographs.

Saturday February 10, 2024: Agua Fria National Monument, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Badger Springs Pueblo and Petroglyphs
Archaeology and Geology Tour” with JJ Golio and Allen Dart in Agua Fria
National Monument, starting at Badger Springs Trailhead parking area ca. 1
mile east of Interstate-17 Exit 256 (Badger Springs).
8:30 am to 3:30 pm. $55 donation per person ($45 for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old
Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
Agua Fria National Monument, located approximately 40 miles north of
central Phoenix, was established in 2000 by President Bill Clinton to
protect its extensive and important cultural and natural resources.
Encompassing two mesas, the canyon of the Agua Fria River, and the river’s
tributaries including Badger Springs Wash, the monument protects numerous
archaeological sites as well as outstanding geological and biological
resources. This Old Pueblo tour will visit Badger Springs Pueblo, a 30-50
room precontact structure perched atop a high bluff, plus ancient bedrock
metates and bedrock outcrops with elaborate figurative petroglyphs. It also
will stop at a historical arrastra – an ore-grinding mill in which heavy
stones attached to horizontal poles radiating from a central pillar were
turned by a draft animal or powered by water to drag the stones on the
mill’s floor of stone to pulverize ore. Guides also will point out and
interpret geologic processes in which Badger Springs Wash cut through the
basalt and granodiorite to create colorful red, pink, yellow, green, brown,
white, dark gray, and black formations, some including xenoliths.

Saturday April 6, 2024: Fort Huachuca/Sierra Vista & Naco, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Garden Canyon, Fort Huachuca, and
Camp Naco Pictographs, Archaeology, and History” tour with archaeologist
Stanislava Romih and historic architect R. Brooks Jeffery, starting at the
Van Deman Gate Visitor Control Center, Hatfield St., Fort Huachuca, Arizona
8:30 am to 3:30 pm. $55 donation per person ($45 for Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center and S’edav Va’aki Museum Foundation members) supports Old
Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
Located on the historic Fort Huachuca Army Post, the Garden Canyon
site is a precontact American Indian settlement near where the Mogollon,
Hohokam, and Trincheras archaeological cultures came together. Limited
excavations at this site revealed remnants of pithouses and above-ground
dwellings, funerary features, and pottery and other artifacts. Farther up
Garden Canyon, a few hundred feet above its floor, are rockshelters that
contain pictographs that may have been painted in the 1700s by Apaches. In
part 1 of this Old Pueblo tour, Fort Huachuca Cultural Resources Manager
Stanislava “Sasha” Romih will guide our visit to these sites and the Fort
Huachuca Museum, which focuses on the region’s military history. After
visiting Fort Huachuca, the tour group will take a lunch break then caravan
from Sierra Vista to Naco, Arizona to visit historic Camp Naco. This early
twentieth-century Buffalo Soldiers installation is now the target of a City
of Bisbee rehabilitation effort to explore a wide range of future uses that
commemorate history, expand cultural opportunities, and serve as a resource
for the communities of Naco and southern Cochise County. Tour participants
need to bring picnic lunch and water, wear sturdy hiking shoes, and be able
to hike along a short, narrow mountain trail.
Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Monday
April 1st, whichever is earlier: 520-798-1201 or
