Allen Dart has worked and volunteered as a professional archaeologist in Arizona
and New Mexico since 1975 for government, private companies, and nonprofit organiza-
tions. He is now a federal government archaeologist and the volunteer executive
director of Old Pueblo Archaeology Center. A Registered Professional
Archaeologist, he has been a recipient of the Arizona Governor's Archaelogy
Advisory Commission Award in Public Archaeology and the Arizona Archaeo-
logical Society’s Archaeologist of the Year award for his efforts to bring archae-
ology and history to the public.

Using Powerpoint illustrations, archaeologist Allen Dart shows Native American ceram-
ic styles that characterized specific eras in southern Arizona’s prehistory and history, and
discusses how archaeologists use pottery to date archaeological sites and interpret ancient
lifeways. He talks about the importance of context in archaeology, how things people
make change in style over time, and how different styles are useful for identifying
different cultures and for dating pottery.
Guests may select & purchase dinner from the restaurant’s menu.
There is no entry fee. Donations will be requested to benefit
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center’s educational efforts.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED by 3 p.m. on the
Wednesday before the program because the Fire Code limits
meeting room capacity and because the restaurant needs advance
notice to schedule sufficient staff for our event.
