These photos are from the Pueblo Grande Archeological Site in Phoenix, Arizona. The site was occupied by the Hohokam people, who are thought to be the ancestors of today's Pima people.
The Hohokam dug vast irrigation canals, lived in adobe houses and farmed cotton, squash and corn. You can see some reconstructed Hohokam houses in the photos on the right. I also took pictures of metates (grinding stones) and pottery.
Like the Maya in Mesoamerica, the Hohokam disappeared without a clear explanation. Many archeologists believe that they became incorporated into other cultural groups.
