Book Synopsis Landscape of the Spirits by : Todd W. Bostwick
Download or read book Landscape of the Spirits written by Todd W. Bostwick and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High above the noise and traffic of metropolitan Phoenix, Native American rock art offers mute testimony that another civilization once thrived in the Arizona desert. In the city's South Mountains, prehispanic peoples pecked thousands of images into the mountains' boulders and outcroppings—images that today's hikers can encounter with every bend in the trail. Todd Bostwick, an archaeologist who has studied the Hohokam for more than twenty years, and Peter Krocek, a professional photographer with a passion for archaeology, have combed the South Mountains to locate nearly all of the ancient petroglyphs found in the canyons and ridges. Their years of learning the landscape and investigating the ancient designs have resulted in a book that explores this wealth of prehistoric rock art within its natural and cultural contexts, revealing what these carvings might mean, how they got there, and when they were made. Landscape of the Spirits is the first book to cover these ancient images and is one of the most comprehensive treatments of a rock art location ever published. It conveys the range of different rock art elements and compositions found in the South Mountains—animals, humans, and geometric shapes, as well as celestial and calendrical markings at key sites—through accurate descriptions, drawings, and photographs. Interpretations of the petroglyphs are based on Native American ethnographic accounts and consider the most recent theories concerning shamanism and archaeoastronomy. Written in a simple and accessible style, Landscape of the Spirits is an indispensable volume for anyone exploring the South Mountains, and for rock art enthusiasts everywhere who wish to broaden their understanding of the prehistoric world. It is both an authoritative overview of these ancient wonders and an unprecedented benchmark in southwestern rock art research at a single geographic location.

Book Synopsis Detailed Recording of Petroglyphs by : Daniel Merrill
Download or read book Detailed Recording of Petroglyphs written by Daniel Merrill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-23 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why this process? Why was this process invented? That is a great question. I am not a professional archaeologist, but petroglyphs are definitely an avocation of mine. I love spending time searching for new ones and researching their meanings when possible and appropriate. One problem that I have had with studying petroglyphs is that you can only bring home photographs but photographs do not pick up all the detail in a rock art image. I searched for a process for duplicating Petroglyphs that would be accurate, not damage or contaminate the Rock Art or Lichens and also be a process that could be accepted by archaeologists specializing in rock art. In the past, archaeologists and amateurs have used rubbings, chalking, cloth tracings, plastic tracings, various rubber casting processes, etc. All these methods have fallen out of favor due to inaccuracies, probable damage caused to the original rock art and/or lichen growths in the area. I would also argue that only the rubber castings truly showed all the detail of the petroglyphs. Some of these processes also required that any lichen growths be completely cleaned from the rock surface. This too has fallen out of favor in recent years. As far as I could tell from my research, there were no "accepted" practices that worked well with the exception of the ultra expensive 3-D laser scanning which is not even available to most researchers. In October 2012 Bob Wheeler of the Copper Country Ancient Sites Conservancy in Houghton, Michigan, told me of an Archaeologist, Jack Steinbring from Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin. Jack had published a method he calls an "acrylic dental process" in the Volume 68, Number 4 issue of The Wisconsin Archeologist. This process uses a sheet of aluminum foil taped over the glyph. The grooves were "rubbed" in with Q-tips(r) of all things! You most probably could not hurt a rock with a Q-tip(r)! This didn't sound promising to me at all, but it was an accepted method. The method produced foil images that were nice to look at but they were quite fragile, so they did not seem promising to me. Bob urged me to try to figure out a way to make permanent and durable images from these "foil impressions." He then supplied me with several impressions that he had made of Copper Harbor petroglyphs to experiment with. So that is the "why" but the "how" is a bit more complicated. It took a lot of experimenting with various materials and a lot of trial and error on processes and techniques to get the final process figured out and reliably repeatable. The process in this book is the result. My hope was to document the process well enough to allow most anyone (adults) to duplicate it without too many problems. The materials that are listed by name and retailer are done so because other products are not direct interchanges. This information will save you weeks or even months of trial and error of your own; you should get acceptable results relatively quickly. This book describes the process step by step making it easier to understand why each step is important to the final goal, which is to make "castings" of high enough quality and accuracy to assist researchers and of enough beauty to allow the general public to enjoy and learn to appreciate them. We use some repetition from chapter to chapter. This handbook and our instructions contain easily followed step-by-step procedures together with the needed equipment and supplies. To make the procedure easier without thumbing back and forth, each chapter stands more or less, alone.
Download or read book Petroglyphs written by Cindy Eccles and published by Matador. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Senator Coxon stumbled into the field of petroglyphs study while serving as an emissary for the United States and ended up devoting his life to pursuing and understanding the purposes and mental process behind the creation of these symbols. In addition to providing insight into the archaeological field’s perception of petroglyphs at that time, this compilation of one man’s research on the purpose rather than the translation of petroglyphs begins in the American southwest and spreads across both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans and from north to south. For nearly 20 years, William Coxon conversed with notable experts including Thor Heyerdahl and Dr. Emil Haury, and studied then current writings from experts Julian H. Steward, A. T. Jackson, and Thomas Wilson. He read the works of earlier explorers including Colonel Garrick Mallery and Dr. James Churchward and talked to local inhabitants then known as the Pima to learn more about the people who made the images. Coxon also interviewed a Yaqui elder who was able to draw the elaborate “labyrinth maze” petroglyph. Sometime in the early 1960s, the former senator began writing a book at the behest of friends and colleagues to publish his theories and present his collection to the general public. Unfortunately, Coxon died in 1963 before its completion.
