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 – Ethnozoology of the Kumeyaay People by Richard Carrico\nFor the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County\, animals\, birds\, insects\, and other creatures hold a special place in the cosmos and played a variety of important roles. Their embodiment is not always easily visualized because some creatures\, large and small\, exist in worlds not always seen by most humans\, and rarely acknowledged by archaeologists. For many of the native people\, there was a time when animals were actually human. In the mythic\, ancient time what we now know as humans\, or more correctly as mortals\, did not exist. The world was inhabited by animals and by animals who were humans but not mortals—these were the Early People and some creatures could embody traits of what came to be known as the mortal humans and animals. Only later in time did the separation grow between animals and humans\, and at that time the humans became mortal. This presentation will provide an analysis and discussion of the role and place of non-human creatures within the world and cosmos of the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County. \n12:30 PM – The First Chicken Burrito in Western North America: Zooarchaeology of Avian Remains for the San Diego Royal Presidio by Dr. Aharon Sasson\nThe San Diego Presidio\, established in AD 1769\, was the first European settlement in Upper California. Very little is known about chicken husbandry in colonial America\, which makes this study the first comprehensive analysis of chicken remains in North America. Chickens are scarcely mentioned in historical accounts describing early California\, and information on their sex\, age\, or management is rare. Small-scale poultry production\, likely managed by women and children\, provided California presidios with a form of subsistence independence.

SUMMARY:Save Our Heritage Organization: Penning the Past Zoom Lecture - La Jolla
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 Jolla by Carol Olten\n \nLa Jolla\, California\, famously known as “The Jewel\,” is noted for its natural beauty and appealing Mediterranean-like climate. Magnificent sea cliffs and caves\, bathing coves\, and sandy beaches have attracted visitors\, developers\, and residents since the 1880s. By the early 1900s\, a small community developed with artists congregating to the internationally known Green Dragon Colony. Newspaper heiress Ellen Browning Scripps and her half-sister Eliza Virginia established residences and became the community’s renowned philanthropists. Many beautiful homes and institutions\, along with a growing commercial district next to the sea\, owe their designs to architect Irving Gill. Today La Jolla still attracts visitors from around the world and is home to the rich\, the famous\, the avant-garde\, and intelligentsia. \nAuthor bio Author Carol Olten is the historian for the La Jolla Historical Society and a former journalist on subjects of art\, film\, history\, and architecture. She is a longtime La Jolla resident and currently owns and resides in one of the community’s oldest homes. Working with Heather Kuhn the society’s archivist and curator she traced La Jolla’s history with many rare and never before published photographs selected from the archives of the La Jolla Historical Society. Carol’s writing is educational\, investigative\, and intriguing\, and covers a wide range of topics from the history of movie theaters in La Jolla to the development and construction of some of its most iconic historic buildings. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization.

SUMMARY:Save Our Heritage Organization: Seventh Avenue Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Tour starts at the Marston House Museum Shop in the carriage house. \nWhat began as a ten-acre\, barren enclave owned by George W. Marston is now the shady and secluded 3500 block of Seventh Avenue\, a cul-de-sac that is perfect for a one-hour guided walking tour. This tour contains new content inspired by SOHO’s celebration called Irving Gill: Progress & Poetry in Architecture. The Marston House Museum & Gardens is one of about ten homes on the street\, built between 1905 and 1913. Many were designed by Gill\, when he was a partner in Hebbard & Gill\, and they illustrate his design progression from English Arts & Crafts to Prairie Style to his ultimate triumph\, cubistic Early Modernism-all in the space of two years\, 1905 and 1906. \nMarston was San Diego’s most prominent leader of the Progressive Movement. He\, Gill\, and other Progressives championed civil rights for African and Mexican Americans\, women’s suffrage\, child labor laws\, food and drug safety measures\, while they opposed corruption\, alcohol and vice. Gill translated Progressive values of good health through fresh air and contact with nature\, cleanliness and sanitation\, and incorporated labor saving devices into his architecture\, including the Marston House. \nThis tour is ADA accessible. \nThis event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization. For more information\, questions\, and registration\, please contact the event organizer.

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 – More Than Just Food. More Than Just Faunal Remains. Ethnozoology of the Kumeyaay People by Richard Carrico\nFor the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County\, animals\, birds\, insects\, and other creatures hold a special place in the cosmos and played a variety of important roles. Their embodiment is not always easily visualized because some creatures\, large and small\, exist in worlds not always seen by most humans\, and rarely acknowledged by archaeologists. For many of the native people\, there was a time when animals were actually human. In the mythic\, ancient time what we now know as humans\, or more correctly as mortals\, did not exist. The world was inhabited by animals and by animals who were humans but not mortals—these were the Early People and some creatures could embody traits of what came to be known as the mortal humans and animals. Only later in time did the separation grow between animals and humans\, and at that time the humans became mortal. This presentation will provide an analysis and discussion of the role and place of non-human creatures within the world and cosmos of the Kumeyaay people of San Diego County. \n12:30 PM – Communing with Earth and Ancestors: Ancient Maya Cave Rituals by Jon Spenard\nThe ancient Maya are perhaps best known for their jungle-covered cities with large plazas and grand temples standing taller than the forests encasing them. These built places are often depicted as the settings of elaborate state rituals where elites would perform their ceremonial duties in front of the masses. Yet important rituals were not performed only in cities. Archaeological research over the last few decades has come to reveal that caves and cave-like spaces were among the most potent and important places for ritual performances by the ancient Maya. They were the places where the ancestors originally emerged from and where they returned to after their passing. They were also portals to where powerful Earth forces\, particularly the rain deity\, could be ritually accessed and negotiated with. In this talk\, Dr. Jon Spenard will discuss his ongoing cave ritual research in Belize with a particular focus on understanding the relationship between cave rituals and the ancient Maya collapse.

SUMMARY:Animal Bones and Teeth
DESCRIPTION:Zooarchaeologists seek to answer questions about the human past using animal remains from the archaeological record. These researchers explore what people ate\, what environments were like\, the movements of animals across landscapes\, relationships between people and animals\, and more. In this talk Gillian Wong will dive into what it means to be a zooarchaeologist and how animal remains can be used to address several key questions in our understanding of the human past. She will draw specifically from her PhD work that uses the remains of micro-mammals\, like rodents and insectivores\, from Langmahdhalde\, an archaeological site in southwestern Germany\, to reconstruct climates and environments during the stone age. What kind of vegetation existed during this time and how cold was it? But more importantly\, what implications does all this have for human settlement of the region? \nAbout the Presenter \nGillian Wong is a PhD student in archaeology at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. Her specialty is zooarchaeology\, or animal (faunal) remains in the archaeological record. She is primarily interested in using animal remains to explore how large-scale changes in climate affected prehistoric hunter-gatherers at the local level. Currently\, she is the zooarchaeologist for a project in southwestern Germany that is excavating one of the first Magdalenian (~15\,000 years before present) sites to be discovered in the region since the 1970s. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from the University of California\, Davis and a Master’s degree in Anthropology from the University of Utah. When she’s not doing archaeology\, Gillian enjoys hiking with her dog and husband\, swimming\, and reading. \nDate: Thursday\, May 7\, 2020\nTime: 6:30 – 8 PM\nLocation: San Diego Archaeological Center\nCost: Included with paid museum admission ($2); Members Free

SUMMARY:Shrouded Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Ten years ago\, Thomas Holm read Scott O’Dell’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins with his fourth-grade daughter. That experience led to him to research California’s indigenous mariners\, including the “Nicoleño” of San Nicolas Island\, which is the real setting of O’Dell’s book. That ten year journey\, from elementary school field trip\, to claims of improprieties\, to the enactment of new preservation laws\, will be addressed by Holm as he presents his new book entitled\, Shrouded Heritage: Island of the Blue Dolphins. \nHolm sets out to learn the truth about California’s ancient island-dwelling People\, especially the real-life woman fictionalized as Karana in Scott O’Dell’s beloved novel Island of the Blue Dolphins. That endearing soul became the last of her kind after witnessing the bloody massacre of her tribe. She then suffered 18 years of isolation on her cold and merciless island. This investigation of her life and the legacy of her People inadvertently triggers a battle among academics and Indigenous Peoples with world-wide implications. Woven together within this saga are data from church records\, court papers\, ship logs\, and dozens of other historic and “scientific” documents. Likewise\, and with equal reverence\, included are oral accounts\, traditional songs\, and religious beliefs of tribal elders. This uniquely inclusive approach provides the source of new information about the real “Island of the Blue Dolphins” and its remarkable heritage. Also included in Holm’s presentation will be exclusive photos of unique artifacts\, archeological excavations and extraordinary scenery from San Nicolas Island. \nAbout the Author \nThomas Holm is an author\, archaeological researcher\, environmental activist\, and long-distance paddler.  His research has focused on the ancient maritime cultures of the Southern California Bight\, including those of the Channel Islands.  He teaches Marine Archaeology and Preservation at California State University\, San Marcos and has made numerous solo passages on a stand up paddleboard from the mainland to the Channel Islands to research early oceanic trade routes. \nSigned copies of Holm’s book will be available for purchase and proceeds will help establish the M/V Conception Memorial Garden on Santa Cruz Island to honor 34 people recently killed during a boat fire. \nDate: Saturday\, February 8\, 2020\nTime: 11 AM\nLocation: San Diego Archaeological Center\nCost: $2 (museum admission included; pay at door); Members Free

SUMMARY:A Life in San Diego Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for a reception and presentation by local archaeologist\, professor\, and author Dr. G.Timothy Gross. Gross volunteered on his first archaeological projects as a high school student in 1968\, and although he has worked outside San Diego\, he has been involved in local archaeology ever since. In this talk he will reflect on the changes that have happened in the last 50 years in how archaeology has been done and by whom. He will look at what we have learned and what ideas we have discarded\, and he will address the ever-changing political climate of local archaeology. A tour of the Center will be offered following the presentation. \nDate: Saturday\, November 9\, 2019\nTime: 12 PM to 3 PM (Presentation at 1 PM)\nLocation: San Diego Archaeological Center\nCost: Free

SUMMARY:2nd Sat: The Impossible Railroad
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1900s\, San Diego was a growing and thriving city\, but with no rail transportation eastward. Spearheaded by John D. Spreckels\, with his persistence and money\, a railroad was constructed that engineers warned would be impossible to build. Starting in San Diego\, the “Impossible Railroad” snaked through brutal mountain and desert terrain to connect with the transcontinental Southern Pacific in El Centro. It took 12 challenging years to build\, but the 1919 completion was widely celebrated. This November is the 100th anniversary of the completion of the San Diego and Arizona Railway which still operates along parts of its 148-mile route. Author Reena Deutsch will give an account of the line’s dramatic history through vintage photos and gripping narration. \nAbout the Author \nAfter stumbling upon old railroad tracks in our local desert\, Dr. Reena Deutsch researched the colorful history of John Spreckels’ San Diego and Arizona (Eastern) Railway and has given dozens of lectures and wrote a book on it. Prior to retirement\, Dr. Deutsch was a UCSD medical researcher. She currently serves as Board member for the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association and Balboa Park’s San Diego Model Railroad Museum. This year\, she is collaborating with the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum Association to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the completion of the San Diego and Arizona Railway. \nDate: Saturday\, June 8\, 2019\nTime: 11 AM\nLocation: San Diego Archaeological Center\nCost: Free

SUMMARY:2nd Sat: Murder and Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:Early twentieth-century San Diego was growing fast\, and the officers sworn to protect the city encountered more than their fair share of wily lawbreakers.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Coronados Islands
DESCRIPTION:Location: San Diego Archaeological Center\nCost: Free\nDespite their attractiveness to early human migrants and maritime foragers\, small islands often are overlooked in archaeological and historical ecological investigations. Along Alta and Baja California\, the Channel Islands and Isla Cedros have been the focus of extensive and intensive archaeological investigations. Even with the wealth of data from islands to the north and south\, the Coronados Islands\, a small set of four islands off the northwestern Baja California coast\, have been the subject of very little scientific archaeological research. Joseph McCain will present his findings after an initial field season was completed in 2016. This research produced the first radiometric dates from the Coronados Islands\, built an initial settlement chronology and occupational history\, identified several prehistoric sites with high research potential\, and laid the foundation for future archaeological and historical ecological studies of the island group.
