Fio. 107.--Design From A Bowl From Blue. Figure 107. This design in solid black represents two birds in terrace form, the zigzag line representing the running element of the design. The broad area of the terrace contains modifications of the bird symbol. (From the interior of a bowl, Blue, Arizona, Cat. No. HBBBHHHBaBaHraB 245503, U.S.N.M.) Figure 108. This design, which is a section of that covering a whole vase, apparently is intended to show a succession of zigzags formed by alternate opposed series in solid black and gradine. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 231987, U.S.N.M.) Figure 109. A similar design is found on the rim of a vase (fig. 104), and in it the zigzag line is manifestly important. The triangular spaces show the simplest form of the bird symbol. (Spur Ranch, Luna, New Mexico, Cat. No. 232001, U.S.N.M.) Figure 110. Another design shows a pair of zigzag lines treated very much as the white line decorations on the red bowls from the Blue River. This is from the rim of a vase found at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, by Mrs. W. O. Owen, Cat. No. 178826, U.S.N.M. Figure 111. This is a design simplified for application to the handle of a dipper. It apparently represents a succession of opposing black and gradine bird symbols whose opposition forms a zigzag. The denticulation on the margin of the triangles is apparently a feather convention. (Tularosa River, New Mexico. Collected by H. Hales, Cat. No. 155158, U.S.N.M.) Figure 112, design from the handle of the dipper previously mentioned. So far as is known the design is unique and it is difficult to assign its meaning. It is evidently a clipped or abbreviated design suited to the narrow space it must occupy, and appears to be the bird-rain triangular symbol arranged...

Book Gila

    Book Details:
  • Author : Gregory McNamee
  • Publisher : UNM Press
  • Release : 2012-10-15
  • ISBN : 0826352480
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Gila written by Gregory McNamee and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For sixty million years, the Gila River, longer than the Hudson and the Delaware combined, has shaped the ecology of the Southwest from its source in New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River in Arizona. Today, for at least half its length, the Gila is dead, like so many of the West’s great rivers, owing to overgrazing, damming, and other practices. This richly documented cautionary tale narrates the Gila’s natural and human history. Now updated, McNamee’s study traces recent efforts to resuscitate portions of this important riparian corridor.

Book The Social Organization of Hohokam Irrigation in the Middle Gila River Valley  Arizona

Download or read book The Social Organization of Hohokam Irrigation in the Middle Gila River Valley Arizona written by M. Kyle Woodson and published by Gila River Indian Community. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh volume in the Gila River Indian Community Anthropological Research Papers series by M. Kyle Woodson examines the social organization of Hohokam canal irrigation management along the middle Gila River in south-central Arizona. Anthropologists have long recognized that the users of a canal irrigation system have to coordinate and cooperate with each other in the construction, maintenance, and operation of the canal system; the allocation of water; and the resolution of conflicts that arise. An irrigation organization is a social institution that manages and assigns the roles to accomplish these tasks. Yet the social organization of irrigation management cannot be fully understood without examining the link between irrigation organizations and political institutions. Woodson s study achieves this goal by analyzing canal systems and settlement patterns at the village of Snaketown, as well as the neighboring Granite Knob, Santan, and Gila Butte canal systems and settlements during the Pioneer to Classic periods (AD 450 to 1450). With this study, Woodson returns focus to Snaketown, where Emil Haury originally defined the Hohokam cultural tradition and which has revealed yet more insights into the prehispanic world of the ancient Southwest.

Book Once a River

  • Author : Amadeo M. Rea

  • Release : 1983
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 312 pages

Download or read book Once a River written by Amadeo M. Rea and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many rivers of the arid Southwest, the Gila is for much of its length a dry bed except after seasonal rains. Yet a mere century ago it hosted a thriving biological community, and two centuries ago American Indians fished from its banks. It is no mystery how the desert swallowed up the Gila. Beaver trapping, overgrazing, and woodcutting first ruined natural watersheds, then damming confined the last drops of its surface flow. Historical sources and archaeological data inform us of the Gila's past, but its bird life further testifies to the changes. Amadeo Rea traces the decline of bird life on the Middle Gila in a book that addresses the broader issue of habitat deterioration. Bird lovers will find it a storehouse of data on avian migration patterns and on ornithological classification based on skeletal structure. Anthropologists can draw on its Piman ethnoclassification of birds, which links the Gila River tribe with various other Uto-Aztecan peoples of Mexico's west coast. But for all concerned with protecting our environment, Once a River offers evidence of change that might be apprehended elsewhere. It is a case history of a loss that perhaps need never have occurred.
