While 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). The site continued, but time did not permit its full documentation. Noted throughout the mapped area were dozens of production tools and discarded objects in various stages of reduction. 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. This event will be held on Zoom. For more information visit: sandiegoarchaeology.org Stay Connected on Facebook

In lieu of a regular program and potluck dinner, the October meeting instead will focus on a social gathering featuring a “Snack Potluck” – held from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m., outdoors around the fire pit. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite snack to share with fellow members. Water and lemonade will be provided by the Historical Society. While enjoying our snacks, we would like to begin the Halloween season by having everyone share something that may have happened to you that seemed beyond the “Outer Limits.” It could be a story told to you by an older adult when you were young, something you saw or heard that you couldn’t explain, a déjà vu experience, an act of divine guidance, or something else. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it. So, plan your snacks to share, think about a story you want to tell, and prepare to have a lot of fun. See you there!

On July 29, 2022, the FBI violently raided 7 Uhuru Movement offices and homes in 2 cities, falsely accusing this decades-old international Black Power organization of serving as pawns of the Russian government in their decades of work fighting for reparations and opposing U.S. wars. 81-year-old African People’s Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela is a former SNCC field organizer registering voters in Florida during the Civil Rights movement and has since traveled the world organizing for African unity and liberation. Hess and Nevel are leaders in the movement for white reparations to the black community working under the leadership of the APSP. The event will introduce Chairman Omali’s new book, “The Verdict is In: Reparations Now!” Discussion will be held on the upcoming November 4th Black People’s March on the White House and the building of the anti-colonial free speech movement.

The Banality of Evil: A Conversation on Theatre and the Holocaust featuring Moises Kaufman in Conversation with Allan Havis. In 2006, an album of photographs from Auschwitz landed on the desk of an archivist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The photographs documented the many ways SS camp guards made life for themselves at the German death camp tolerable, even enjoyable. As news of the extraordinary find spread worldwide, a German businessman discovered his own grandfather in one of the pictures. What was he to do with this shocking discovery? This is the ethical dilemma at the heart of the play “Here there are blueberries,” conceived and directed by the Venezuelan theatre director Moisés Kaufman. A playwright, filmmaker, and founder of the Tectonic Theater Project, Kaufman is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious National Medal of Arts and Humanities. He will be in conversation with Allan Havis, a professor in the UC San Diego Department of Theatre and an award-winning playwright.
