Religion on the Rocks redirects our attention to the equally important matter of what compelled ancient farmers to craft rock art in the first place. To answer this, Aaron Wright presents a case study from Arizona's South Mountains, an area once flanked by several densely populated Hohokam villages. Synthesizing results from recent archaeological surveys, he explores how the mountains' petroglyphs were woven into the broader cultural landscape and argues that the petroglyphs are relics of a bygone ritual system in which people vied for prestige and power by controlling religious knowledge. The features and strategic placement of the rock art suggest this dimension of Hohokam ritual was participatory and prominent in Hohokam life. Around AD 1100, however, petroglyph creation, along with other ritual practices began to wane, denoting a broad transformation of the Hohokam social world. Wright's examination of the South Mountains petroglyphs offers a novel narrative of how Hohokam villagers negotiated a concentration of politico-religious authority around platform mounds. Readers will come away with a fuller understanding of the Hohokam legacy and a greater appreciation for rock art's value to anthropology"--$$cProvided by publisher. 001490231 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001490231 650_0 $$aHohokam culture$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains. 001490231 650_0 $$aPetroglyphs$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains.$$0(DLC)sh 85100357 001490231 650_0 $$aRock paintings$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains. 001490231 650_0 $$aSacred space$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains.$$xLaw and legislation$$0(DLC)sh2010007455 001490231 650_0 $$aReligion, Prehistoric$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains. 001490231 650_0 $$aSocial change$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains$$xHistory$$yTo 1500.$$xSocial aspects$$0(DLC)sh2009118395 001490231 650_0 $$aSocial archaeology$$zArizona$$zSouth Mountains.$$vCongresses$$0(DLC)sh2010113452 001490231 651_0 $$aSouth Mountains (Ariz.)$$xSocial life and customs. 001490231 651_0 $$aSouth Mountains (Ariz.)$$xAntiquities. 001490231 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001490231 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWright, Aaron M.$$tReligion on the rocks : Hohokam rock art, ritual practice, and social transformation.$$dSalt Lake City : The University of Utah Press, [2014]$$z9781607813644 001490231 852__ $$bebk 001490231 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3443927$$zOnline Access 001490231 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1490231$$pGLOBAL_SET 001490231 980__ $$aBIB 001490231 980__ $$aEBOOK 001490231 982__ $$aEbook 001490231 983__ $$aOnline
