SUMMARY:Allen Dart Presents for Casa Grande Ruins Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Allen Dart Presents for Casa Grande Ruins Speaker Series December 7\, 2022 \n\n \nCOOLIDGE\, AZ   The Casa Grande Ruins Speaker Series takes place weekly through January 18\, 2023. On December 7\, 2022 Casa Grande Ruins will host Allen Dart at 1:00 pm.  Mr. Dart will present "Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Rock Art". The speaker series will continue every Wednesday at 1:00 pm through January 18. \n \n\nRegistered Professional Archaeologist Allen has worked in Arizona and New Mexico since 1975 for federal and state governments\, private companies\, and nonprofit organizations. He is the executive director of Tucson's nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, which he founded in 1993 to provide educational and scientific programs in archaeology\, history\, and cultures. Al has been an Arizona Humanities speaker since 1997. He has received the Arizona Archaeological Society's Professional Archaeologist of the Year Award\, the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society's Victor R. Stoner Award\, the Arizona Governor's Archaeology Advisory Commission Award in Public Archaeology\, and other honors for his efforts to bring archaeology and history to the public. \n\n \n\nAncient American Indian petroglyphs (symbols carved or pecked on rocks) and pictographs (rock paintings) 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? Archaeologist Allen Dart illustrates how petroglyph and pictograph styles changed through time and over different parts of the U.S. Southwest both before and after non-Indian peoples entered the region and discusses how even the same rock art symbol may be interpreted differently from popular\, scientific\, and modern Native American perspectives. \n\n \n\nThe Speaker Series is made possible by the Friends of Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (http://friendsofcasagranderuins.org/) with additional support from Arizona Humanities (https://azhumanities.org/). The program begins at 1:00 pm in the Casa Grande Ruins visitor center theater at 1100 W Ruins Drive\, Coolidge AZ\, 85128. There is no fee for the program\, and entrance is free at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.  \n\nCasa Grande Ruins National Monument protects the multi-story Great House (Casa Grande) and the remnants of other ancient structures built by the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People over 800 years ago.  Established as the nation's first federal historical reserve in 1892\, the Ruins sparked the beginning of the archeological preservation movement in America.
