For about as long as humans have created works of art, they've also left behind handprints. People began stenciling, painting, or chipping imprints of their hands onto rock walls at least 30,000 years ago.

Petroglyphs, Ancient Buildings, Ancient Roads, Artifacts.Chaco Canyon appears on satellite maps as a sliver of green, but this is only by comparison to the desert surrounding it. A thousand years ago it was the center of a complex culture stretching a hundred miles in any direction.

The focal point of a Mississippian village complex is an unusual mound and earthwork. Today's site is a truncated conical mound at the west end of a broad, low, rectangular earthwork, aligned in an east-west direction. The other mounds at the site, as well as the principal mound and earthwork have been plowed down - the field has been in pasture for the last twenty or more years.

This is the site near Stanton Harcourt on land worked by Hanson Waste Management belonging to All Souls. Nothing much to see - a largish mound (landscaping thanks to Hanson rather than nature, I suspect), a vague outline of a henge, one huge stone on its side, two other big ones half buried, and some large boulders carefully preserved by the waste people, which are stacked up in case they might be needed for reconstruction.
