Thursday March 16, 2023: Online
            “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program
featuring “cyberSW: A Digital Gateway to Explore Southwestern
US/Northwestern Mexico Archaeology” presentation by archaeologists Jeffery
J. Clark, PhD, and Joshua Watts, 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.
            cyberSW is a large graph database and open access web platform
to facilitate exploration of the US Southwest/Mexico Northwest
archaeological record by a variety of audiences. (Actual archaeological site
locations are masked.) cyberSW has been developed over the course of 20
years by combining a number of regional databases, many funded by the
National Science Foundation, that have focused on reconstructing precontact
demographic trends, migration, social networks, and identity. In addition,
data from many cultural resource management projects as well as unpublished
sources and new analyses have been added. The current version of cyberSW
contains standardized information, at the archaeological site level, of room
counts and occupation span from more than 22,000 settlements, 16 million
ceramic records, 17,000 geochemically sourced obsidian artifacts, and 1200
sites with ceremonial or public architecture. The next version, currently
under development in collaboration with a Tribal Working Group, will enhance
resolution to the household, cultural feature, and stratum level and will
have the capacity to add virtually all classes of nonmortuary archaeological
data using standardized classification schemes. This presentation will
discuss the history of cyberSW, demonstrate some of the capabilities of the
current web platform, and explore short- and long-term future directions.
Audience participation and feedback will be encouraged.

Morteros Village and Picture Rocks Petroglyphs Archaeological Sites” with
archaeologist Allen Dart departing from near Silverbell Road and Linda Vista
Blvd. in Marana, Arizona
            8 am to noon. $35 donation ($28 for Old Pueblo Archaeology
Center and Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members) helps cover Old Pueblo’s

traditional cultures.
            The 2023 vernal equinox occurs on Monday March 20 at 2:24 pm
Arizona/Mountain Standard Time (9:24 pm Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate
the equinox, archaeologist Allen Dart (Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s
executive director) leads this tour to Los Morteros, an ancient village site
that includes a Hohokam ballcourt, bedrock mortars, and other archaeological
features; and to Picture Rocks, where ancient petroglyphs include a solstice
and equinox calendar marker, dancing human-like figures, whimsical animals,
and other rock symbols made mostly Hohokam Indians between 800 and 1100 CE.
An equinox calendar petroglyph at the site exhibits a specific interaction
with a ray of sunlight on the morning of each equinox regardless of the hour
and minute of the actual celestial equinox, so participants in this tour
will see that sunlight interaction with the calendar glyph unless clouds
block the sunlight.

Wednesday March 8, 2023: Cave Creek, AZ
            “Landscapes of Extraction: The Art of Mining in the American
West” free presentation by Betsy Fahlman, PhD, for Desert Foothills Chapter,
Arizona Archaeological Society meeting at t Good Shepherd of the Hills
Episcopal Church, 6502 E. Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, Arizona, cosponsored
by Arizona Humanities*
            7 pm refreshment/socialization, 7:30 presentation. Free.
            Mining is the transformative industry of the American West – one
that competes in scale and in color with the scenic landscape on its own
terms, with the industrial sublime dynamically coexisting with the natural
one. These landscapes are located at the bedrock of economic development –
the risky speculation from which huge fortunes could be made and lost – and
reframing our understanding of an equally mythic chronicle of the American
West. Mining was one of the Five Cs of the Arizona’s economy and remains
central to its cultural and economic identity. This lecture presents the
rich historical heritage of a significant body of regional art –
particularly painting and prints – that was inspired by an important
industry considered over a vast region. Historical artists portrayed the
extractive industries that meant jobs and profits, while contemporary
artists are more concerned with the vexed legacies of altered landscapes,
environmental degradation, and public-health challenges. Betsy Fahlman is
Professor of Art History at Arizona State University and Adjunct Curator of
American Art at the Phoenix Art Museum. This program is cosponsored by
Arizona Humanities.

Wednesday March 8, 2023: Online
            Assembling the Southwest: The History and Geography of a Region”
free online presentation with academic geographer Scott Warren, sponsored by
Pima County Natural Resources, Parks & Recreation, Tucson*
            7-8:30 pm Mountain Standard Time. Free. 
            The Greater Southwest region is a diverse and contrasting
patchwork of cultures, resources, and environments. So how did the Southwest
and its cultural and natural icons become so distinctive in our collective
imagination? In this richly illustrated presentation, geographer Scott
Warren will pull from the broad discipline of cultural geography to explore
the historical processes that made the Southwest into both a geopolitical
reality and a distinctive region in our imagination. With an understanding
of how the Southwest was assembled, he will describe how we can better
relate to our neighbors, the land, and our own position in this special
place.            * This is not an Old Pueblo Archaeology Center event. To

Thursday March 9, 2023: Irvine, CA and online
            “Paleoindian Land Use at Pluvial Lake Mojave in California’s
Mojave Desert” free presentation by archaeologist Dr. Edward J. Knell (via
Zoom; will not be present at the in-person meeting) sponsored by Pacific
Coast Archaeological Society (PCAS), online and at Irvine Ranch Water
District Community Room, 15500 Sand Canyon Ave., Irvine, California*
            7:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. Free.
            Fluctuations in the extent and productivity of wetland habitat
around Great Basin/Mojave Desert pluvial lakes influenced Paleoindian land
use strategies. To assess the optimal Paleoindian land use strategy around
pluvial Lake Mojave (today’s Silver and Soda Lake playas) Dr. Knell and
colleagues created a biotic resource structure-based and optimal foraging
theory-inspired land use model that predicts whether Paleoindians there
optimally should select a “wetland stable” land use strategy (when the lake
supported substantial wetland habitat and was thus a high-rank resource
patch) versus a “wetland transient” strategy (when Lake Mojave supported
limited wetland habitat thus was a low-rank resource patch). The model
ultimately predicts that Paleoindians occupied Lake Mojave at a time of
reduced wetland habitat so a wetland transient strategy was the optimal land
use solution. The amount of wetland habitat increased after Paleoindian
times, with Middle Holocene and more recent groups optimally switching to a
wetland stable land use strategy. Implications of this result are assessed
in relation to other Great Basin and Mojave Desert pluvial lakes.

Art Research Association (ARARA) at Sheraton Tucson Hotel & Suites, 5151 E.
Grant Rd., Tucson*
            Times TBA. $95 ARARA member, $155 nonmember.
            ARARA will hold its 49th annual conference in Tucson, Arizona,
which is situated within the ancestral lands of the Sobaípuri O’odham,
Tohono O’odham, and Yaqui Native peoples and is home to the University of
Arizona. Regional experts have classed the rock art in and around Tucson
into an array of styles. These include the Western Archaic tradition and
Hohokam (or Gila) style, and more recent petroglyphs and pictographs
attributable to the O’odham and Apache dot the landscape. Slightly farther
afield but easily within a day’s drive one can find rock art attributable to
other Southwestern cultural traditions including Mogollon to the east,
Trincheras south, and Patayan west. A healthy slate of field trips led by
local experts will provide conference attendees opportunities to see some of
this imagery firsthand. Field trip costs are included in registration fee
except for some trips with additional charges. Each attendee agrees to have
taken a negative Covid-19 test within 24 hours of attending the conference.

commonly earned a living by joining the military, working in the church,
blacksmithing, or providing the necessary services the Presidio would have
needed, while women generally tended to the home and cared for their
families. Living History Day will include demonstrations related to both
men’s and women’s responsibilities. March’s Living History Day also will

environmental degradation are changing the landscapes of Arizona. From the
lack of water resources to the loss of mesquite trees, the future is
uncertain. Join Arizona Humanities for a program about water, land, and the
environmental challenges impacting Native communities with artist and
community activist Yolanda Hart Stevens (Pee-Posh/Kwatsan) from the Yuman
Peoples of the Colorado River.

Saturday March 18, 2023: Tucson 
            “How Did People Make and Use Atlatls?” ancient technologies
workshop with archaeologist Allen Denoyer at Archaeology Southwest (ASW),
300 N. Ash Alley, Tucson *
            9 am-4 pm. $75.
            Participants in this all-day workshop (with a midday lunch
break) will make a replica atlatl and an expedient dart. Hunters in the
distant past used the atlatl to propel the dart and shaft. The replica
atlatls will be made of oak, using archaeological examples from the
Southwest. The darts will be simple so that participants have a dart to
shoot when they leave the class. For the most part, participants will use
stone tools, though modern hand tools may be employed in the interest of
timeliness. The class will require lots of hands-on carving work, making it
hard on the hands, so participants are advised to bring work gloves.

            “150th Anniversary of Fort Lowell” at the Fort Lowell Museum in
Fort Lowell Park, 2900 N. Craycroft Rd., Tucson*
            11 am-3 pm Free ($5/person suggested donation).
            Fort Lowell was active from 1873 to 1891 during the Apache Wars,
and was the successor to Camp Lowell, which was located in downtown Tucson
from 1866-1873. Soldiers stationed at Fort Lowell were responsible for
escorting and protecting wagon trains, protecting nearby settlers, guarding
supplies, patrolling the border and conducting offensive operations against
the Western and Chiricahua Apaches. The Presidio San Agustín del Tucson
Museum recently assumed management of the Fort Lowell Museum and is working
with the City of Tucson to reopen it once needed improvements on the
building are completed. This March 18 celebratory event will include a 12 pm
lecture on military medicine and 19th century amputations, a performance by
the 4th Cavalry Regimental Band of Fort Lowell  at 1 pm, a 2 pm lecture on
the quirky episodes of danger and death in the Santa Cruz Valley, plus
displays by the Mormon Battalion and the Buffalo Soldiers organizations,
blacksmithing and faro dealer demonstrations, re-enactors representing a
Fort Lowell quartermaster; Louise Gerard, wife of the Fort Lowell surgeon;
Lola Smith, wife of Fort Lowell quartermaster Gilbert Cole; and Fort Lowell
ranchers. Attending children can make a pendant out of soapstone with a
traditional-style drill, learn how to use an atlatl to throw arrows, playing
with the toys and participating in games that kids in the fort would have
enjoyed, and learning to write with a quill and ink the way children would
have in the fort.

            “Rain and Fertility Symbolism in the Rock Art and Cultural
Landscape of the Trincheras Sites of Northwestern Sonora” free online
presentation by Julio Amador Bech, sponsored by Arizona Archaeological and
Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
            7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
            Trincheras archaeological sites of northwestern Sonora (200-1450
CE) are located in the lower Sonoran Desert along the Magdalena, Altar, and
Asunción/Concepción river drainages and adjacent volcanic hills. The
Trincheras tradition is characterized by terraced hillsides with stairs,
ramps, and pathways connecting the terraces (trincheras). On the summits are
stone alignments serving as observatories with views to the heavens and
surrounding landscape. In the foothills are bedrock mortars and metates. On
the adjacent plains are plazas, rock alignments, shallow pithouses, roasting
pits for cooking agave, and domestic debris, such as shell artifacts, lithic
debitage, and potsherds representative of the Trincheras complex. The
terraced hills and adjacent plains contain thousands of petroglyphs, mostly
in areas with heavily patinated rocks and where creeks form during the rainy
season. Examined collectively and in conjunction with ethnohistoric,
ethnographic, and astronomical data, Trincheras archaeology reveals a
complex cultural system that provided the community with collective goals
transcending the immediate needs of food, shelter, and defense. Trincheras
archaeology manifests important cultural traits associated traditionally
with the complex cosmologies and mythologies of Mesoamerica, but that are
earlier expressed in Archaic period rock art that can be found northward, in
the American Southwest. Julio Amador Bech is a Professor in the Political
and Social Sciences Faculty at the National Autonomous University of Mexico
[Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México] (UNAM) who specializes in cultural
anthropology, archaeology, communication, hermeneutics, and the anthropology
of art.

            “Hang ‘Em High in Arizona: Pima County’s Ghastly Gallows” free
online presentation by William Kalt III sponsored by Arizona Pathfinders,
Tucson*
            4 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
            Capital punishment has been a feature of the Arizona criminal
justice system since 1865. Executions were generally accomplished by hanging
before the first execution by gas chamber in 1934. Arizona carried out 108
executions prior to the national moratorium imposed by the US Supreme Court
in 1972. As it does today, controversy swirled around the use of the death
penalty. While many decried hanging as legalized murder, others vowed that
if the law didn’t do it, they’d make sure “Judge Lynch” did. The tale of
Pima County’s first four legal hangings were filled with crazy incidents and
ghostly appearances. Join historian William Kalt for a trip, to Pima
County’s Ghastly Gallows!

President Franklin Roosevelt, to provide Depression-era jobs for unemployed,
unmarried men ages 18 to 25. The CCC taught job skills to thousands of young
men assigned to CCC camps throughout the nation that were run by the US
Army. Enrollees constructed hundreds if not thousands of land-conservation
features as well as distinctive and beautiful architecture before the
program ended in 1942. This tour will visit Camp Pima (the better preserved
of the two camps for CCC enrollees in the Tucson Mountains) and
CCC-constructed features in the Ez-Kim-In-Zin, Signal Hill, and Sus picnic
areas in Saguaro National Park’s Tucson Mountains Unit. If time permits, we

            “Drinking Rituals and Politics in Chaco Canyon” free online
presentation by archaeologist Patricia L. Crown, PhD, sponsored by Arizona
Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), Tucson*
            7-8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time. Free.
            Drinking rituals are common throughout the world, and they
impact exchange, crafts, the economy, and politics in the past.  For the
last two decades, Patricia Crown has studied the cylinder jars found
primarily in Chaco Canyon.  In this talk, she discusses how the cylinder jar
fits into the history of drinking forms in Chaco, the possible inspiration
for the vessel shape, contents, and source, and the etiquette associated
with drinking from cylinder jars.  She describes the results of 2013
excavations in Pueblo Bonito that show when the form ceased to be used and
how Chacoans terminated the jars and the room where they were stored.  Dr.
Crown, the University of New Mexico’s Leslie Spier Distinguished Professor
of Anthropology Emerita has conducted field investigations in the Ancestral
Pueblo, Mogollon, and Hohokam areas of the American Southwest, and has
worked in Chaco Canyon since 2005.  This session will not be recorded or
posted on YouTube.

his photography centers around the continuation and transformation of
customary Indigenous cultural practice, countering the ‘archival impulse’
embedded within the historical imageries of Native peoples. Through various
methods of photography, Wilson combines digital technology, historic
photographic processes, performance, and installation around themes of
environmental activism, the impacts of cultural and environmental change on
Indigenous peoples, and the possibility of cultural survival and renewal.
His work is exhibited and collected internationally. A catered reception
will follow the program next-door at the Arizona State Museum.

            “Third Thursday Food for Thought” free Zoom online program
featuring the presentation “The Civilian Conservation Corps in Southern
Arizona and the Creation of a Transformed Landscape” by archaeologist
William B. Gillespie, 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.
            The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) is widely recognized as
one of the most successful of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal
programs that helped bring the country out of the depths of the Great
Depression of the 1930s.  Some 3.5 million unemployed young men enrolled to
work outdoors to protect forests, alleviate erosion, and develop the
infrastructure of thousands of parks. The CCC was particularly active in
southeastern Arizona, with nearly 40 camps, each occupied by approximately
100-200 enrollees, in use at various times between 1933 and 1942.  Several
agencies took advantage of CCC work crews to make improvements: The US
Forest Service focused on fire prevention and constructing new roads, the
National Park Service and Arizona’s Pima County emphasized developing
infrastructure for recreation, the newly established federal Soil
Conservation Service performed extensive erosion-control work, and the less
well-documented Indian Division of the CCC employed many O’odham workers to
develop new water sources for livestock. Throughout the parks, forests, and
deserts of the region, the legacy of the CCC is still very much in evidence.
Guest speaker Bill Gillespie is a retired Coronado National Forest
archaeologist.

free presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart for the R. H. Johnson Library
in the social hall west of the R. H. Johnson Recreation Center, 19803 N. R.
H. Johnson Blvd., Sun City West, Arizona; cosponsored by Arizona Humanities*
            2-3:30 pm. Free.
            Ancient Indian pic­tographs (rock paintings) and petroglyphs
(symbols carved or pecked on rocks) are claimed by some to be forms of
writing for which mean­ings are known. But are such claims sup­por­ted by
archaeology or by Na­­tive Americans themselves? Mr. Dart illustrates
southwestern petroglyphs and pictographs, and discusses how even the same
rock art symbol may be interpreted differently from popular, scientific, and
modern Native American perspectives. This program is made possible by
Arizona Humanities.

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 Pueblo
Grande 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.

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 Pueblo Grande 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. 
      Donations are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 p.m.
