SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Lecture Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Join us every 2nd Saturday of the month for two screenings of our Living Room Lectures by archaeologists\, experts\, and authors. Lecture screenings start at 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM and are included with museum admission. No reservations needed. Seating is first come\, first served. \n10:30 AM – It’s Grind Time! Recent Investigations of the Ancestral Maya Ground Stone Tool Industry in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve\, Belize by Dr. Jon Spenard\nWhile conducting opportunistic regional survey in summer 2022 in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve\, Belize\, Dr. Jon Spenard’s Rio Frio Regional Archaeological Project was informed of a series of granitic rock debitage piles nearby. Investigations revealed them to be ancestral Maya quarries and ground stone tool workshops\, the first of their kind recorded anywhere in the Maya region. Naming the site the Buffalo Hill Quarries\, the project mapped over a dozen extraction features (quarry pits and cut faces) surrounded by debitage piles spread over an area of approximately 16 hectares (40 acres). Aided by data from an aerial LiDAR survey of the region\, the project returned in summer 2023 to finish mapping the site and conduct test excavations on an extraction locus to investigate ancestral Maya quarrying methods and techniques. In this talk\, Dr. Spenard will present the results of those two field seasons\, introduce more results from the LiDAR survey\, and discuss the next stages of the project\, including examining who the quarry workers were and how their products may have been distributed. \n12:30 PM – The Skeletons of La Consentida\, Oaxaca\, Mexico by José “Pepe” Aguilar\nTwelve burials\, comprising 14 individuals\, were excavated from an Early Formative Period (1950–1525 BC) site called La Consentida\, in Oaxaca\, Mexico in 2009 and in 2012. These burials were later analyzed in 2012 and 2019. Collectively\, they represent the earliest formal cemetery in the Mesoamerican west coast. Note: this presentation will show photographs of human skeletal remains.

SUMMARY:Save Our Heritage Organization: Penning the Past Zoom Lecture - La Mesa
DESCRIPTION:Join the Save Our Heritage Organization to learn about the unique character of San Diego’s historic neighborhoods through the eyes of impassioned writers and historians. Brought to life by esteemed local authors\, Penning the Past promises to be an enriching exploration of San Diego’s architectural legacy and historical tapestry.  The series is free for SOHO members\, $10 per lecture for non-members. Your participation supports SOHO’s mission of education and advocacy to preserve the historic architecture\, sites\, and cultural landscapes that surround us and add meaning to our daily lives. \nLa Mesa by James Newland\n \nOn February 16\, 1912\, La Mesa Springs\, a community of 700 citrus farmers\, home seekers\, developers\, and businessmen\, incorporated into the City of La Mesa. Located among the rolling hills and mesa lands between San Diego and El Cajon\, today’s suburban city of over 56\,000 is still renowned for its small-town character\, featuring its historic village business district\, family-friendly neighborhoods\, good schools\, and ample retail and recreational amenities. The area’s centuries-old prehistory and history can be traced to the natural springs that attracted stockman Robert Allison in 1869. Allison Springs\, later renamed\, prospered and grew after the arrival of the railroad in 1889. After incorporation\, the young city grew steadily\, reaching 3\,925 residents by 1940. Post World War II La Mesa exemplified the exponential suburban growth of the region\, expanding to the north and west of the old downtown to accommodate 50\,000-plus residents by 1980—all were attracted\, as today\, to the “Jewel of the Hills.” \nAuthor bio Historian and planner for the California State Parks Department\, James Newland has been a stalwart in the field of historic preservation since 1991\, and is past president of the La Mesa History Center. He has an MA in public history from San Diego State\, has authored four insightful books on local history—Cleveland National Forest\, Grossmont Hospital: A Legacy of Community Service\, Around Mt. Helix\, and La Mesa—and has made countless contributions to our community’s heritage. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization. For more information\, questions\, and registration\, please contact the event organizer.
