Hopi History in Stone

The Tutuveni Petroglyph Site contains a record of Hopi clan symbols spanning the last 500 years or more. Most of the symbols represent clans and individuals that passed by this place in conjunction with salt gathering in the Grand Canyon as part of initiation ceremonies. The volume documents the hundreds of glyphs at this location, and their condition at the time of this project. The preservation of this record is ever more urgent as time and vandalism have taken a huge toll on many of the glyphs. The project was undertaken as a collaborative effort between academic archaeologists and the Hopi and Navajo tribes, united in a common interest to preserve this important resource. This new printing of the volume does not include the DVD that was part of the original volume. However, the volume is still richly illustrated with photographs and line drawings. The images and data that were on that DVD are available to all on the Arizona State Museum website under the title of this volume: http: //www.statemuseum.arizona.edu/pubs/archseries/companion_materials.shtml
