The World Wide Web makes it easy to share photos of interesting places.   Sit back and enjoy a tour of the Southwest.  Listed below are categories of photos relating to the prehistoric cultures in the Four Corners area.  There is background information about each topic and several of my photographs.

Petroglyphs:

Drawings on rocks are probably the most enduring form of prehistoric art.   Petroglyph sites are found throughout the entire American Southwest.  I am always intrigued when I come across a petroglyph site. I wonder who made the images, what they mean, and why they were drawn at that site. 

Chaco Canyon:

Chaco Canyon was the center of the Anasazi culture by AD 900.  Magnificent "great houses" were built in a remote canyon in Northwestern New Mexico.
