Your regular reminder that we really like old things around here. And dirt. And waiting for some electrolyte product to hit us up with a major sponsorship

Don’t miss the chance to hang out with fellow scruffy Southwestern archaeologists this Friday as we celebrate an unexpected extension of Tucson Patio Weather™️

Need a spot of oh wow? Might we recommend some Hohokam etched shell? Our Chris Lange explains how artisans created elaborate relief images on shells brought from the Pacific coast to the Phoenix and Tucson areas 1000 years ago. Neat!
