Annual Scitech Festival Lecture Series

EVENT INFORMATION

As part of the Annual Arizona Scitech Festival, Pueblo Grande Museum will be hosting the lecture series for three Fridays in February at noon. These lunch-time are free and open to the public; and sponsored in part by the Phoenix Chapter of the Arizona Archaeology Society and the Pueblo Grande Museum Auxiliary.

Speaker: Dan Garcia

The locations of ancient and historical structures can persist through time and be preserved in modern street layouts and property lines. The Salt River Valley and Maricopa Canals were the first irrigation canals excavated in the Valley since ancient times and are significant in the development of what would become modern Phoenix. The canals were abandoned, infilled, and mostly forgotten by the mid-20th Century, but their precise locations across the city can still be found using Google Earth, geographic information technology, publicly available data, and a keen eye. This presentation will be led by Dan Garcia, who is Salt River Project’s Senior Cultural Resource Manager.
