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many cultural resource management projects as well as unpublished sources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.

TOUR FILLED – WAITING LIST Monday March 20, 2023: Tucson-Marana, AZ
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los 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 tour
expenses and supports its education programs about archaeology and
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.

The US Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a voluntary public work
relief program established in 1933, during the administration of 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
also will view the CCC-constructed Speakers Rock, Cheops Amphitheatre, and
other structures nearby in Pima County’s Tucson Mountain Park. Participants
are responsible for their own transportation.

Thursday April 20, 2023: Online
“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.

Museum, 4619 E. Washington St., Phoenix*
6:30-8 pm. Free.
Beginning with a large-scale detailed reconstruction of lower Salt
River Valley Hohokam irrigation, Caseldine will argue that the system was

“Connections to Natural Material: Native Culture Today and Tomorrow”
free in-Person and online presentation with Yolanda Hart Stevens sponsored
by Arizona Humanities at the historic Ellis-Shackelford House, 1242 N.
Central Ave., Phoenix*
6 pm Arizona Time (Pacific Daylight Time). Free.
From birth to death, the mesquite tree is an integral part of life for
many who call the desert home. The mesquite is just one of many holistic
materials, elements of our natural environment, that are vital to sustaining
Native culture and practices. But climate change and 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
“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.

Tucson Museum, at the 150th Anniversary of Fort Lowell at the Fort Lowell
Museum, Fort Lowell Park, 2900 N. Craycroft Rd., Tucson*
2 pm. Free (donations requested).
As part of the Fort Lowell at 150 event, Rick Collins with the
National Park Service will discuss how the Santa Cruz Valley is a weird
place. Rivers flow backwards, giant cow skulls grace restaurants, marijuana
factories grow legal weed, and nuclear missile sites are turned into
museums. Even death and danger take a strange twist in the Valley. This
presentation covers some of those strange and not so well-known stories from
the “mighty” Santa Cruz River.

Monday March 20, 2023: Online
“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!

“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

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

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.

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.

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.

On Thursday December 14, Tucson’s Jim Click Automotive Team will give
away a 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor Edition SUV in a raffle to raise $2,500,000
for southern Arizona nonprofit organizations including Old Pueblo
Archaeology Center. With your contribution you could win this fantastic 2023
vehicle (List Price $76,580) – or two first-class round-trip airline tickets
to anywhere in the world, or $5,000 in cash! And 100% of what you contribute

programs because Old Pueblo gets to keep all of the proceeds from our ticket
sales!
