SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros Hohokam Village & Picture Rocks Petroglyph Sites
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 20\, 2026\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Spring Equinox Tour to Los Morteros Hohokam Village & Picture Rocks Petroglyph Sites” with archaeologist Allen Dart. This tour will be held from 8:00 to 11:30 am\, departing from near Silverbell Rd and Linda Vista Blvd in Marana\, Arizona. Requested donation is $45 ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members)\, which supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures. \nThe 2026 vernal equinox occurs on Friday March 20\, 2026 at 7:46 AM Mountain Standard Time (2:46 pm Greenwich Mean Time). To celebrate the equinox day (but not the exact time!) and explore ancient people’s recognition of equinoxes and other calendrical events\, 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 and depict dancing human-like figures\, whimsical animals\, and other rock images made by 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. \nRegistration and prepayment are due 10 days after reservation request or by 5 pm Wednesday March 18\, whichever is earlier: info@oldpueblo.org or 520-798-1201.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation – “A Globalized Past? Long-Distance Exchange and Interaction in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 19\, 2026\, join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” online presentation featuring “A Globalized Past? Long-Distance Exchange and Interaction in the US Southwest and Mexican Northwest” by archaeologists Christopher W. Schwartz\, Ph.D. and Ben Nelson\, Ph.D. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.  ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time) and sponsored by Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, P.O. Box 40577\, Tucson AZ 85717. \nExchange is a fundamental human behavior. While today people rapidly exchange goods and information over great distances\, in the past long-distance exchange required the mobilization of vast networks of interaction. This talk examines the long-distance relationships between people living in the U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest (SW/NW) with people living to the south in Mesoamerica and West Mexico. Specifically\, it will explore the material evidence (or lack thereof) for long-distance interaction at SW/NW archaeological sites\, the significance of those objects and materials\, and the larger intellectual debates surrounding this topic. Dr. Christopher Schwartz is the City of Phoenix Archaeologist and holds a Visiting Faculty appointment at Arizona State University. Dr. Ben A. Nelson is Professor Emeritus\, School of Human Evolution and Social Change\, Arizona State University. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_77TI8ibqRLuHq3fUU9Xahg.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: Third Thursday Food for Thought presents “Archaeological Humbugs - Exposing Frauds\, Busting Myths\, and Solving Mysteries”
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 15\, 2025\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “Archaeological Humbugs: Exposing Frauds\, Busting Myths\, and Solving Mysteries” by archaeologist Kenneth L. Feder\, Ph.D. This free online Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm\, ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nIs the archaeological record of North America a lot weirder than traditional researchers would have you believe? Is there\, for example\, archaeological evidence that giant human beings lived just outside of Syracuse\, New York\, in antiquity? And what do Mark Twain\, L. Frank Baum\, and P.T. Barnum have to say about it? Did a contingent of the Lost Tribes of Israel visit New Mexico\, maybe a couple of thousand years ago\, marking their presence by etching the Ten Commandments in Hebrew onto a boulder southwest of Albuquerque? Or maybe did ancient Jews leave Hebrew inscribed artifacts in an Ohio burial mound? Did Native Americans paint pictographs depicting a pterodactyl and maybe also extraterrestrial aliens in Utah? Archaeologist Kenneth Feder\, PhD\, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology\, Central Connecticut State University in New Britain\, will reveal the shocking\, hidden truth underlying these archaeological mysteries. Dr. Feder is the author of Frauds\, Myths\, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology (Oxford University Press\, 2020\, 10th edition); The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory (Oxford University Press\, 2020\, 9th edition); Native American Archaeology in the Parks (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2023); Archaeological Oddities: A Field Guide to Forty Claims of Lost Civilizations\, Ancient Visitors\, and Other Strange Sites in North America (Rowman & Littlefield\, 2019)\, and several other books. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_RGsaXYHZQ6exeatF2qJ3rw.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation – “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest”
DESCRIPTION:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” presentation will feature “If the Shoe Fits: Subarctic-style Moccasins and the Apachean Journey from the Northern Dene Homeland to the Precontact Southwest” by HDR Archaeologist Kevin P. Gilmore\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, January 16\, 2025 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time). \nThe timing and routes taken by the ancestors of the modern Ndee (Apache) and Diné (Navajo) on their journey south from northern Canada to their current territory in the south has been a matter of speculation since the linguistic relationship between the northern Dene (Athapaskan speakers) and Southwest Apachean speakers was identified more than 100 years ago. Within the last decade\, a three-piece Subarctic style BSM type 2(Bb) moccasin associated with proto-Apache Promontory phase migrants has been identified in museum collections from an increasing number of archaeological sites throughout the eastern Great Basin\, Southwest\, and Western Plains margin. Several recent publications documenting the direct dating\, archaeological context\, and materials analysis of these artifacts have provided more nuanced understanding of the story of the Dene arrival in the traditional territory of the Ndee and Diné. In this presentation\, Kevin Gilmore will discuss factors that may have influenced the initial move to the south by Apachean ancestors\, as well as when and how a relatively small group of people with a Subarctic adaptation became differentiated into the Ndee and Diné. Dr. Gilmore\, the Archaeology Program Manager at HDR in Englewood\, Colorado\, has published on the archaeology of eastern Colorado\, proto-Apache migration\, precontact population\, geoarchaeology\, gender in precontact Plains society\, landscape archaeology\, and the paleoenvironmental records found in “pocket fens” in eastern Colorado. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BVkljyx5SIm3W0YWvYz2Nw.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: Third Thursday Food for Thought Presentation – ““Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine”
DESCRIPTION:Join Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s Third Thursday Food for Thought presentation on “Healing and Health in Hopi\, Mayan and Andean (Yauyo) Cultures: Symbiosis with Western Medicine” by anthropologist Sharonah Fredrick\, PhD. This free online Zoom presentation will be held on Thursday\, December 21\, 2023 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). \nArchaeological 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. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y2LAfUJbRxCmfvZqWegrmg.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, September 21\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” Zoom online program will feature “The Historical George McJunkin Reimagined through His Archaeological Sites” by applied anthropologist and archaeologist Brian W. Kenny. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time\, same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nGeorge McJunkin\, who is widely known today as the original discoverer of a fossil bone deposit exposed after a devastating 1908 flood in Wild Horse Arroyo near Folsom\, New Mexico\, died in Folsom in January 1922. The “Folsom site” he discovered turned out to be where archaeologists in 1927 first confirmed the antiquity of humans in the Americas based on direct association of in-situ stone tools and Pleistocene bison bones. The Folsom site has been examined in popular and academic works\, but among professional archaeologists there are generalized and continuing disputes regarding the type and extent of credit and recognition McJunkin should receive for our early historical understanding of the Folsom site. McJunkin was born a slave in Texas\, was emancipated\, and left home as a young man to become a cowboy in west Texas. He learned his trade from Mexican vaqueros and was known for superior cowboy skills and some wild adventures as he worked in the big cattle outfits that moved stock up from Texas\, New Mexico\, and Colorado to the transcontinental Overland Route. After the Colorado and Southern Railroad was completed in 1888 he settled near Folsom\, patented a homestead\, built a house in town\, and worked for local ranchers. He was well respected by the local community and became a ranch foreman and leader of Black and Mexican cowboys working for New Mexican ranchers.  During his time there\, McJunkin built a number of ranch facilities\, many of which are now obsolete\, abandoned\, or reused in alternate ways. These sites\, their contents\, and the nature of their construction\, use\, and abandonment hold the key to investigating McJunkin from alternate perspectives. From 2021-2023\, a century after McJunkin’s passing\, Brian Kenny and colleagues initiated archival\, ethnographic\, and archaeological research in the Folsom community. In Old Pueblo’s September Third Thursday presentation\, Kenny will tell how the members of “Team McJunkin” have visited and documented known McJunkin sites using basic methodologies of community ethnography\, archival research\, landscape scale characterization\, and archaeological survey\, and how team members are currently reviewing their field results and preparing for journal publication. \nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_0SwzVEeWTdGHvp1Qyh_Wsg.

SUMMARY:Old Pueblo Archaeology Center: The 1541 O’odham Annihilation of Vázquez de Coronado’s Southern Arizona Townsite and Other New Coronado-Era Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, August 17\, 2023\, Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s “Third Thursday Food for Thought” program will feature “The 1541 O’odham Annihilation of Vázquez de Coronado’s Southern Arizona Townsite and Other New Coronado-Era Discoveries” presentation by archaeologist Deni J. Seymour\, Ph.D. This free Zoom presentation will be held from 7:00 to 8:30 pm ARIZONA/Mountain Standard Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time). \nThe Arizona Coronado Project continues to astound as expedition sites are found in improbable valleys\, as evidence reveals encounters with unexpected Native groups\, artifacts are uncovered in Arizona that are unknown from other Coronado sites\, and excavated archaeological features demonstrate the beginnings of a permanent European settlement. There is also clear evidence of the battle\, described in documents\, that annihilated the region’s first Spanish townsite and contributed to the termination of the 1539-1542 Coronado expedition as a whole. Dr. Deni Seymour is an award-winning author of seven books and over 110 articles. In addition to her previous discoveries of the site where Apache Chief Juh ambushed US Army Lt. Cushing the 1871 and several important Spanish colonial period sites\, recently she has identified five archaeological sites of the Coronado expedition on four stream drainages. \nAt Dr. Seymour’s request\, Old Pueblo will not post or distribute a recording of this presentation.\nTo register for the Zoom webinar go to https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wwC9iKfWROOXPQM6e-OWYg.
