New Perspectives on the Rock Art and Prehistoric Settlement Organization of Tumamoc Hill, Tucson, Arizona

Tumamoc Hill is a prominent landmark west of downtown Tucson, and has a rich diversity of archaeological remains associated with a long-term use of the hill. It is a cerro de trincheras with numerous large stone walls that define prehistoric public spaces and houses, farm plots, and trails. There is abundant rock associated with the hill, and some of the glyphs seem to have functioned as solar calendar markers. All of these topics are addressed in this volume. Much of the work reported here was done by University of Arizona archaeological field schools and volunteers, and was part of the ultimately successful process of preparing a National Register nomination for Tumamoc Hill.
