Emergence. It's a reoccurring theme in the Puebloan world. You see it in their architecture, in their artwork, you hear in their stories, and you experience it as you walk through this landscape. We're constantly in transition from one world into the next. #emergence #livinglandscape #transitions #desert #desetlove #desertmagic #devine_deserts #ancesteralpuebloan #onnativeground #walkwithpurpose #walkinwonder #wanderinwonder #visitwithrespect #takeonlypicturesleaveonlyfootprints #leavenotrace #respectandprotect #bearsears
A sample of beautiful ceramics from the work week. These pieces represent several different styles found in Northern Arizona dating to the Pueblo II period (900-1150 BCE). Tusayan whitewares, such as Dogoshzi b/w, Soshi b/w, and Kana'a b/w, were widely produced in the Kayenta region and traded across the southwest. Deadman's b/r and Tusayan corrugated are also represented here. Most of these pieces have broken under the weight of heavy hooves as the whole area has been heavily grazed over the years, but fortunately, that's about the only major disturbance this site has seen. #sherdnerd #prehistoricceramics #archaeology #arizonaarchaeology #ancesteralpuebloan #archaeologyiscool #leaveitwhereyoufoundit #visitwithrespect #respectandprotect #takeonlypicturesleaveonlyfootprints #leavenotrace #thosewhocamebefore #sitandlisten #nativeground

A Look into the Past, Hidden under a cap of sandstone, accessible only by a difficult approach, this Ancestral Puebloan ruin leaves one with more questions than answers. This is one of more than 1700 Ancestral ruins scattered throughout the Bears Ears National Monument - a spiritual place filled with ghosts of the past. #bearsears #ourpubliclands #ancesteralpuebloan #danholmesphoto #discoverearth #earth pix #beautifulplanet #fantastic_earth #earthgallery #ourlonelyplanet #naturephotoportal #ShotOnCanon #canon #photography #photooftheday #travel #history #ruins #utah
