Join us for Archaeology of Phoenix, a Foothills Speaker Series talk with Dr. Chris Schwartz, City Archaeologist for the City of Phoenix. Long before the city’s founding, ancestral O’odham communities built hundreds of miles of canals across this Valley, farming the desert and shaping the land we live on today.

Dr. Schwartz will share what recent discoveries reveal about daily life, trade, and community in the ancient Valley, and how that history still connects to O’odham communities today.

As part of the Desert Foothills Land Trust’s mission to connect people and nature, DFLT sponsors two Speaker Series — ongoing free lecture programs designed to connect community members with the natural and cultural heritage of their Sonoran Desert home. These lectures provide accessible educational opportunities for everyone to deepen their understanding of this unique desert ecosystem. The Foothills Speaker Series is a joint initiative of DFLT and the Holland Center. Click here to see all this season’s events in the Foothills Speaker Series.
