Geoglyphs of the Desert Southwest by Harry Casey,Anne Morgan Pdf

Across the deserts of the American southwest are one of the largest concentrations of geoglyphs outside of Peru's Nazca Lines. These ancient Native American works of earthen art can be up to hundreds of feet long, and yet are often invisible until viewed from above. Before drones, GPS, or GoogleMaps, photographer Harry Casey began a unique archaeology project. Armed with nothing more than topographic maps, 35mm film cameras, and his beloved Piper J3 Cub aircraft, Casey spent thirty-five years documenting the region's geoglyphs before natural erosion and human intervention could destroy these fragile sites. Here, for the first time, is a visual record of these beautiful and mysterious, little-known features.

The Desert Southwest by Allan Hayes,Carol Hayes Pdf

The desert Southwest. The elusive, almost-ignored "other" Southwest. Its art looks different--it's made in a different way, it's different philosophically. It's from a much different land, and it's a largely unrecognized national treasure. Originally lured to this "other" Southwest by its pottery, amateur historians Allan and Carol Hayes and photographer John Blom set out to discover more about the people who created it. Their quest led them to academic archives and historical documents, to the holdings of private and public art collections, and to archaeological ruins. The result is a fascinating story of 4,000 years of America's desert past, and of the Native, Hispanic, and Anglo peoples who have left traces of their lives buried beneath the sands. Each towering adobe pueblo, painted pot, shell bead, copper bell, and tobacco seed has a story to tell. With Blom's vivid color photographs (some showing artifacts never before made public) and the Hayeses' engaging text, The Desert Southwest invites the reader to explore this captivating region's conflicts and its immense human accomplishments, both expressed in its enduring art.
