"Casa Grande Ruins: The Early Years"
Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's "Third Thursdays" program At the end of
the 20th century a large excavation project was conducted at the Grewe
archaeological site, immediately east of the Casa Grande Ruins National
Monument. Grewe was the original site of the Hohokam community that
between A.D. 550 and 1450 grew and shifted westward into what we now
recognize as the Casa Grande Ruins. In this program archaeologist Doug
Craig, who directed the Grewe Archaeological Research Project (GARP),
will discuss the more than 1,300 archaeological features that were
identified and investigated during the GARP including 271 structures, 3
or 4 adobe compounds, hundreds of pits, and other features such as
Hohokam canals, burials, and a ballcourt. Come and hear about the
Hohokam world according to GARP, which provided a whole new slant on the
overall picture of Hohokam cultural development.

"Petroglyphs and Game Drives in Northeastern New Mexico" Archaeologist
Lawrence Loendorf has recently studied Rock cairn drive lines that are
part of elaborate ancient game drive systems are found across
northeastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. In recent years,
archaeologists from New Mexico State University have discovered that
many of these sites have associated rock art depictions of small human
figures that appear to be driving animals toward nets or corrals. Animal
drive complexes are fairly common on the North American Plains, but the
interrelationship between rock art and archaeological drive sites is not
found at these sites. This added component of rock art scenes of game
drives, at the New Mexico and Colorado sites, is an important discovery
with implications for understanding whether rock art was done as
"hunting magic" or some other reason.
