Hohokam on The Archaeology Channel
From Rick Pettigrew, chief honcho at this very worthy Web site where you can see videos of all kinds of sites including of course Catalhoyuk. Friends and colleagues: Ancient irrigation canals, villages and monuments built by the Hohokam are prominent elements of the archaeological record near Phoenix, Arizona. You can see the excavation of one of the biggest Hohokam sites yet recorded in Under These Fields 1000 Years Ago, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org). Before it was abandoned 900 years ago, the Grewe Site was one of the largest settlements in the American Southwest. This large Hohokam village south of Phoenix and the surrounding agricultural communities covered a combined area of about two square miles, encompassing the architectural monument known today as Casa Grande. This video describes the excavation of the Grewe Site by Northland Research in a highway-related project sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment. We urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs. Only with your help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and visitor-supported programming. We also welcome new content partners as we reach out to the world community. Please forward this message to others who may be interested and let us know if you wish to be removed from our mailing list. Richard M. Pettigrew, Ph.D., RPA President and Executive Director Archaeological Legacy Institute http://www.archaeologychannel.org
