“Brings a scientific calculus to bear on the interpretation of Hohokam rock art that is far more sophisticated than any earlier attempts.” —David R. Wilcox, adjunct professor of anthropology, Northern Arizona University, and senior research associate, Museum of Northern Arizona
“His work provides one of the few recent pieces of research that integrates study of rock art into a sound anthropological approach and does not fall back on a simplistic notion of shamanism. In addition, this work covers new ground and represents a real contribution to Hohokam archaeology. This book goes beyond just archaeological interest. It provides a good case study for ritual practices in a context of social organization and will inform scholars in the broader anthropological and sociological realms.” —Paul F. Reed, preservation archaeologist, Archaeology Southwest
“A landmark production offering a dynamic new synthesis of the Hohokam as it establishes new strategies for future research integrating rock art with social, religious, and political processes.…Beautifully and clearly written, engaging the reader from start to finish, Religion on the Rocks, winner of the Don D. Fowler and Catherine S. Fowler Prize, deserves space on the bookshelf of every Southwestern archaeologist.”—KIVA: Journal of Southwestern Anthropology and History
