Hopi History in Stone: The Tutuveni Petroglyph Site

by Wesley Bernardini

The Tutuveni Petroglyph Site is a potential “Rosetta Stone” of Hopi clan iconography, containing without doubt the largest, most significant concentration of clan symbols to be found anywhere in the American Southwest in any medium. With more than two hundred line drawings and more than 2,000 photographs spanning 75 years, this book presents a comprehensive record of the Tutuveni petroglyphs, ensuring that their historical information will be preserved for future generations of scholars, Native Americans, and the public. The Tutuveni project was the result of a collaborative effort between academic archaeologists and the Hopi and Navajo Tribes, united in a common interest to document this important cultural resource before vandalism damaged it irreparably.
