Hohokam and Mimbres Rock Art and Ideology, with Allen Dart

Comparison of 1000-1130 CE Mimbres-culture petroglyphs in New Mexico and contemporaneous glyphs of the Hohokam culture of southern Arizona helps define the limits of these two ancient southwestern cultures. Aspects of their rock art and other material culture also provide clues to their different ideologies. Certain icons are common to both Mimbres and Hohokam rock art, whereas each culture also exhibits repeated motifs that apparently were not produced by the other. Comparing and contrasting the shared and unshared rock art images, and other aspects of Mimbres and Hohokam cultures, suggests similarities as well as differences in their respective religious practices and beliefs.
