Allen Dart, executive director of the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, will be the featured speaker at the Wednesday, February 18 program of the SaddleBrooke Hiking Club. Members and guests will have the opportunity to learn about archaeological sites in Arizona, many of which are considered some of the most important in the U.S.
The program, entitled Set in Stone but Not in Meaning: Southwestern Indian Rock Art, is particularly timely because March has been designated Arizona Archaeology and Heritage Month.
Mr. Dart has worked and volunteered as a professional archaeologist in New Mexico and Arizona for state and federal governments, private companies and nonprofit organizations. Besides his volunteer role as executive director of the Old Pueblo Archaeology Center, he is employed full time as State Cultural Resources Specialist. Since 1997 Mr. Dart has been a member of the Arizona Humanities Council and also gives presentations about archaeology and cultures to nonprofit organizations throughout the state.
The February 18 program, which will begin at 3:00 p.m. in the HOA 1 Activity Center, is open to all SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch residents, whether they are members of the Hiking Club or not. Attendees also are invited to attend a social hour at the Agave Lounge in the SaddleBrooke Clubhouse after the program.
