To think of how hard life must have been for those ancient people. Most people of today would not be able to handle it. I think they probably ate just about anything.
@ruinsandridges Күн бұрын
Yes, before the agriculture, life in the basketmaker caves for hunter gatherer's was not easy. Even in pueblos in New Mexico some research showed that in some cases over 70% of meat intake was rodents, such as rabbits, hare, mice, prairie dogs, moles, etc. Probably trapped and hunted with rabbit sticks. Big game was gone in some areas. We often see lots of tiny bones that look very old and brittle in the caves and ruins and wonder if those were from birds and mice that were eaten. Also lots of migration probably to change camps for winter and summer.

I remember seeing these glyphs when I was not much younger than you. That 1962 graffiti was pretty fresh then.They were fascinating at the time. I'd love to see them again but I no longer have the knees for it. I have a few questions for you, in my work, I've used a number of light sources to photograph scratches and anomalies in certain surfaces. I would think, that if you acquired the right light source and a reasonably decent digital camera, you could possibly get better definition of those images. I found off angle works best with UV but I wasn't dealing with stone. I would be willing to bet that you could visit an archeology department at a university and get some intel as regards that process. Also, I'd like to know what kind of equipment you are currently using. Judging by the shadows, it might be a Go-pro or something similar. Thirdly, How did you develop an interest in this field? Who were or are your mentors? Have you looked into how the petroglyphs were produced? There were several methods employed, not just rock banging. Even chemical etching was used by some of the ancient people. I think a lot of people would like to know.Whatever you're doing, keep it up.
@ruinsandridges Күн бұрын
That's cool that you were there. I just film on Insta360 1RS, which is similar to Go Pro. Yes, I cannot get very good quality on it when filming up close or petroglyphs and my pictures are just on the phone. One day when I can, I will get a better camera. I will answer the question about mentors in one of my future videos.

Here's a fair question about vandalism: The Hopi come along and carve a story into a cliff side. The Navajo come along later and carve their message over and on the same cliff side. A few hundred years later explorers come by and carve their message. A hundred years after that, cowboys leave theirs and a hundred years after that, you leave yours. Is it all vandalism if it affects the initial drawings? Or, is it nothing more than the continuation of the human experience at the location?
@ruinsandridges 2 күн бұрын
I see it a different way. When Cohonina people carved these, then Hualapai, or Navajo, they did not have paper and books, notebooks or newspapers. These were their stories, maps, family trees, histories, these were their street signs and their spiritual and religious 'books' and books on how to hunt or do other tasks. By the time that Spanish, settlers, cowboys came, these newcomers had paper and books, and newspapers, now we have KZbin and email, and so many communication means. Why do we need to scratch over the 'ancient stories'. Once they are written over, you cannot recover them. It is like taking a whole library of books and scribbling over them so nobody else can read them. That's how I see it.
@JeffinBville Күн бұрын
@@ruinsandridges You missed the point of my post. At what point does this become vandalism? Moreover, don't assume any of those markings have any special connotation other than, "I was here and hunted sheep". They might, but we may never know. When the Cohonina scratched/painted their messages onto rock faces, how do you know they weren't adding to what was already there from previous people? And if they did, was it vandalism? Or, was it simply continuing previous markings? At Independence Rock in Wyoming, after the first settlers carved their names into the rock to mark their passing, others came along after them and did the same. Was that vandalism? (and they had paper and books and later, the telegraph.) At the Catskill Mountain House site overlooking the Hudson River, visitors in the mid 1800s began carving their names into the bedrock and people have been doing so ever since. Is that vandalism? If so, at what point did it become so? images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large-5/remembering-the-catskill-mountain-house-terrance-depietro.jpg

@ruinsandridges 2 күн бұрын
Thank you! Yes, thankfully dry climate preserved some things, but what is now left is just a tiny shadow of what we had even 100 years ago. There are reports that in early 1900 you could still stumble upon completely unknown ruins and you could see lines of pots and tools just as they were left. But the frenzy of pothunting and archeological digs pretty much removed everything from all the sites.

These were the lands of ancient Cohonina people and Hualapai people. Name Hualapai means "Pine Tree People". This is a land of tall pines. I hope you enjoy this adventure. Let me know what you think.

Great that you get out and go to the old places. One point of possibles concerning the sites you’re visiting in this video. I lived in the valley, and worked in archeological protection for both the FS/BLM, State Trust Lamds and the Archeological Conservancy. I also worked on several studies on some of these places. . Some of those smaller caves with wood debris nearby, could be more Apache or Yavapai. The Yavapai lived in and around the Verde Valley concurrently with late Ancestral Puebloans. Later, both Yavapai and Tonto Apache used the valley for seasonal living and procurement. You’re getting pretty good with the camera, keep up the great adventures!

Thank you very much! Yes, that definitely makes sense, that most sites would have been re-used by many generations and then by following tribes, and later even by ranchers and cowboys and outlaws, like Robbers Roost and others.

The southwest is an amazingly beautiful landscape and I've been intrigued with it since my first visit over 20 years ago. My health today limits the kind of places I can access so I'm so happy can join your adventures vicariously. I've been impressed by you from the first video I watched. You have an inquisitive nature, an analytical mind, and a drive to explore: all the best traits for a budding archeologist.
