Archaeology Café 2025-2026 - Archaeology Southwest

Tread: The Where, How, and Why of Trails & Foot Travel

Step into the 2025–2026 season of Archaeology Café: Tread. This year, we’re following the routes people have taken across time—on foot, through memory, and across landscapes.

From ancient migrations and sacred trails to trade paths, historical expeditions, and everyday travel, this season explores how movement shapes cultural landscapes in the Southwest and beyond. Trails connect people to place, carry meaning, and leave lasting marks on the land and in our stories.

This season, we’re coming home: Archaeology Café is convening at the headquarters of Archaeology Southwest in downtown Tucson —and we’re also bringing back live streaming on Zoom so you can join from anywhere. Click the links below to register for either the in-person event or the online Zoom Webinar. Whether you’ve joined us here before or this is your first time, we’re excited to welcome you into our everyday place.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and talks begin at 6:00 p.m.

Can’t make it to our headquarters or the live Zoom? Recordings will be posted on our YouTube channel a few days later.

History has many paths. Let’s walk a few together.
