Jan, how many nails can you hit on the head for me with one post! I am so happy you followed me and have subscribed to Corvairs and Horny Toads. It has led me to your fascinating world which I am just beginning to binge-read. But this first one grabbed my attention for a number of reasons. or one, my story, Kinfolk and A Yellowmeat Watermelon hews very closely to true events about my father’s life and my own but I begin the round and round story with the Hohokam civilization. I lived in Phoenix for 20 years and decades before, during WWII, a much reported murder was committed that has unbelievable connections to me and my father. But as I said I began the story with the Hohokam civilization and an amazing civilization it was. By the way the image of the toad on the pottery shard in your post looks very much like one of my beloved Texas Horned Toads.

Thanks for your wonderful posts, thanks for subscribing to my Substack, Jan. (I miss Arizona and the delicious Mexican Food!!)

That was a good idea to backfill the site. No idiots going there ruining the site or carving initials.

Very interesting! Sometimes exploration is about what you don’t find. 😀

It was a pleasant and interesting rabbit hole to go down.

I doubt they even know where it is! And I'm sure the members of the Gila River tribe would run them off LOL
