Walnut Canyon Nat. Mon.
Date Added: 7th Apr 2015
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Would like to visit
Walnut Canyon Nat. Mon. submitted by DrewParsons on 8th Nov 2008. Walnut Canyon - one of the many homes built under cliff overhangs by the Sinagua ("without water") people who first arrived in this area around 600CE. Prior to that the area had been visited by nomadic Archaic peoples. The Sinagua homes remained undisturbed until the 1880's railway brought souvenir hunters who looted artifacts destroying walls to gain access. The site was declared a National Monument and so protected in 1915.

Piketon Mounds submitted by aluta on 29th Aug 2010. A view of the large mound, surmounted by a modern standing stone, otherwise known as a grave marker. No doubt it was thought to be an honour among later European-descended arrivals to be buried on the highest of the Indian mounds.

Large spiral petroglyph on Signal Hill in the Saguaro National Park. The figure is placed on a sloping bolder. The angle is such that the surface facing north is in the shadow from the fall to the spring equinox and only lit in the "summer" half of the year.

Newark Earthworks submitted by aluta on 29th Apr 2005. A view from the center of the Great Circle Earthwork at Newark, Ohio, looking through the only entrance toward the museum on the grounds. The photo is taken from the low, broken-cross-shaped mound in the center. It is very difficult to get photos that give any sense of the whole at an earthwork this large.
