Tucson is one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas in America with
rcheological discoveries dating back to 800 BC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson

Tucson was probably first visited by Paleo-Indians, known to have been in
southern Arizona by about 12,000 years ago. Recent archaeological excavations
near the Santa Cruz River have located a village site dating back 4,000 years ago.
The floodplain of the Santa Cruz River was extensively farmed by people during the
Early Agricultural period, circa 1200 B.C. to A.D. 150. These people constructed
irrigation canals and grew corn, beans, and other crops while gathering wild plants
and hunting animals. The Early Ceramic period occupation of Tucson saw the first
extensive use of pottery vessels for cooking and storage. The groups designated by
archaeologists as the Hohokam lived in the area from A.D. 600-1450 and are known
for their red-on-brown pottery.

Close to home is a dig that has uncovered a Hohokam site.

Please take a short stroll with me. From my back door.


Here's over the fence.


Across the street


A tree and asphalt


Pave paradise.





A look back at my apartment


The fence


Some scientific markings


A foundation?


Could be.


A cistern?


Hmm.
