Our most impactful project in 2023 was "Save Indigenous History: An Activity Book for Children", which features illustrations by 5 Indigenous artists. Archaeological Resource Crime Response & Prevention: In addition to undertaking fieldwork and hosting training sessions, we referred more than 20 possible violations to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Cultural Resource Unit and Homeland Security. Through our online monitoring program, we identified more than 173 cultural item auction listings and shared those with BIA-CRU for review.Respect Great Bend: Archaeology Southwest is a founding member of the coalition seeking national monument designation for an enduring yet fragile southern Arizona cultural landscape known as the Great Bend of the Gila. Designation will provide better and more permanent protections, as well as the opportunity for the 13 Tribes whose stories these lands hold to be directly involved in the monument's management. Greater Chaco Cultural Landscape: A decade of hard work with Pueblo, Din, and conservation partners paid off in June 2023, when the US Department of the Interior approved a 20-year mineral withdrawal of federal lands and minerals within a 10-mile protection zone around Chaco Culture National Historical Park. 917327 8713 Research and cyberSWcyberSW: We were pleased to add members to the Tribal Working Group that guides development of the cyberSW platform to include data of interest to Indigenous communities. Our new Native American Fellow is developing a digital field guide for bird species important to O'odham peoples using the database. We also began adding information about archaeological plant & animal remains, stone & bone tools, and items of personal adornment to the database.Cultural Uses of Plants and Animals in the Southern Southwest: In September 2023 we received a National Science Foundation grant to study how people used animals and plants during a period of dramatic social change in the past. The project uses existing collections and data from 3 different areas from the periods before, during, and after migrants from what is now northeastern Arizona moved south to join existing communities in southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Documenting Indigenous and Historical Trails: A 2023 grant from the Bureau of Land Management put us on the ground documenting trails in the Sonoran Desert National Monument. The objective is to evaluate the relationship, if any, between the Butterfield Overland National Historic Trail and existing Indigenous trails traversing the Great Bend of the Gila, such as the Komadk Trail. 359792 18008 Outreach and EducationPreservation Archaeology Position Papers: We kicked off our new position papers series in 2023 with two outstanding, far-reaching, and plain-speaking contributions by our Tribal Collaboration directors: "A Model for Tribal Collaboration at Archaeology Southwest and "Our Living Land Acknowledgment." Archaeology Cafe: The 2022-2023 season, "Better for It: Research Conceived in Collaboration with Community", attracted well over 600 viewers nationwide via Zoom. The 2023-2024 season, "Nourishing Body, Soul, & Earth: Traditional Foods & Foodways", was a mix of online and in person, and equally well attended.Archaeology Southwest Magazine: Our magazine is committed to featuring the perspectives of descendant communities and collaborating with them to develop themes and topics. "Better for It: Archaeology Conceived in Collaboration with Community" was preceded by a very special edition by retiring President & CEO Bill Doelle: "Love of the Gila: Reflections on Millennia of Life in the Southern Southwest".Hands-On Archaeology: Staff took the show on the road for 30 community events reaching 100s of people at various locations, including Mission Gardens, Town of Oro Valley Steam Pump Ranch, Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Presidio San Agustn del Tucson Museum, and the Tucson Festival of Books. Eight ancient technologies workshops were held at our headquarters, as well as four community classes at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community's Huhugam Ki Museum.Volunteers: One of our longest-running volunteer endeavors, the Robinson Project, logged more than 2,100 hours in 2023. The team is analyzing and preparing a legacy archaeological collection for curation at the Arizona State Museum. A similar project, Roadrunner Vista, destined for curation at the Amerind Foundation, made substantial progress over the course of the year. In the fall, a dedicated group of 30 volunteers walked long transects and camped under stars for the Desert Trails Survey. 2499856 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 44 0 1 29 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X The Organization 5208826946 281 N Stone Ave Tucson AZ 85701 William H Doelle President & CEO 40.00 X X 148863 0 6416 Dan Kimball Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Vanderveen Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Kay Gilliland Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 David Kornberg Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Chip Colwell Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Curtis Quam Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Kennedy Sudduth Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Davina Two Bears Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Van Dyke Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Pierce Deputy Director (CFO) 40.00 X 81126 0 10190 229989 0 16606 1 0 1 0 Lone Ranger Resources LLC 820 N Kiaya Lane Show Low AZ 85901 Technical assistance for investigations 154348 1 1559036 1481882 3040918 Contract Revenue 541700 159831 159831 Program Service Fees 541700 15293 15293 Other Revenue 541700 6007 6007 181131 262255 262255 73190 171627 -98437 -98437 -98437 1675896 1645995 29901 29901 29901 11501 0 11501 11501 3427269 192632 -98437 292156 X 246595 199485 26618 20492 1242528 1005121 134141 103266 17210 13922 1858 1430 115814 93798 12439 9577 111158 89920 12000 9238 46213 37383 4989 3841 44383 35903 4791 3689 476009 427367 8766 39876 179765 166590 2817 10358 2790 2790 122114 118059 816 3239 28722 23234 3101 2387 74376 60166 8029 6181 19315 15759 2009 1547 Stipends & Program Supp 187416 187342 42 32 Postage & Printing 82323 69297 943 12083 Telephone & Utilities 50291 41945 4716 3630 Repairs & Maintenance 42522 34488 4539 3495 -147768 -122713 -14545 -10510 2941776 2499856 218069 223851 987264 310922 506515 846151 124435 158768 23873 672 14062 16034 2704784 473145 2267153 2231639 6817006 8534069 236995 174527 125201 140352 11102504 12413134 110802 139091 20270 18080 967394 908448 86420 45210 1184886 1110829 X 2997880 2987723 6919738 8314582 9917618 11302305 11102504 12413134 485493 899194 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2559958 1802071 2347417 2451985 3040918 12202349 2559958 1802071 2347417 2451985 3040918 12202349 1205520 10996829 236487 273168 767261 248808 262255 1787979 0 0 13990328 0.78600 0.75460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 11 429.00 2 1 120.00 2500 6847367 673932 971871 299896 8193274 7921356 505352 -1299108 280233 6847367 7662428 7662428 6754240 177519 1036704 272144 33891 7662428 5472907 582254 935134 203487 32568 6754240 0.12090 0.79650 0.08260 0 0 435269 397770 833039 1588060 390048 1198012 123360 29907 93453 160325 53190 107135 2231639 Conditional contributions refundable 33649 Security deposits refundable 5948 Lease liabilities 5613 45210 X 4453707 899194 171627 1070821 3382886 44383 44383 3427269 3069020 171627 171627 2897393 44383 44383 2941776 Part II, Line 5: Conservation easements are monitored to protect significant archaeological, historical, and cultural values. Part II, Line 9: Archaeology Southwest has opted to expense purchased conservation easements, which are reported as conservation expense in the statement of functional expenses, and donated easements are not recorded as either revenue or expense. Part V, Line 4: The Organization's endowments were established to support, further and enhance the mission of the Organization. Board approved policies govern the use of earnings which can be expended to provide general support to Archaeology Southwest. Earnings on the endowments are unrestricted. Part X, Line 2: Archaeology Southwest is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the Federal Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 501(c)(3) and Arizona income tax laws and is classified as other than a private foundation under IRC Section 509(a)(1). ASW also qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under IRC Section 170(b)(1)(a). Prudent Preservation Partners LLC (PPP) is a single-member limited liability company which is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. PPP's income from certain activities not directly related to the ASW's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management believes such a tax liability is not material to these consolidated financial statements. Management has considered its tax positions in accordance with the accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes and believes that all positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In addition, Management is not aware of any matters which would cause the Organization to lose its tax-exempt status. The Organization's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three years and four years, respectively, after they are filed. Should the Organization ever be subject to interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, they would be classified in general and administrative expenses in its accompanying consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Organization did not recognize any interest and penalties. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Rental Expenses 171,627.
