On the Landscape of the Santa Catalina Mountains

Gender in Hohokam Imagery and Landscape

Created and Updated by Charles Miles on 6/17/2021.

From the paper:

Hohokam anthropomorphs in Tucson area rock art have been characterized as having little detail and rare indications of female gender. New information from 28 loci in the Sutherland Wash Rock Art District based on a recently completed recording project has provided an opportunity to compare 419 anthropomorphs, of which 129 (32%) were clearly gendered in approximately equal numbers, either male or female. Vulva forms and apparent attempts to illustrate “family” and “birthing” are also pictured repeatedly. In addition, the site includes a granitic landscape with natural yoni and phallus formations and boulders with a large number of cupules.
