Controversial Hohokam handstones from the Salt River Valley, Arizona

The presence and function in several Hohokam sites of controversial objects, currently described as handstones or crushers, remains an unsolved matter. Their morphology recalls similar Mesoamerican pieces, the manoplas, generally considered to be related to the ballgame. The identification of ballco...

Leur morphologie rappelle celle d’objets mésoaméricains, les manoplas, souvent associés au jeu de balle. L’identification de terrains de jeu de balle hohokam, longtemps controversée, est désormais acceptée. Ce travail ne cherche pas à résoudre la question, mais plutôt à attirer l’attention sur un aspect problématique des relations entre la Mésoamérique et l’Oasisamérique. La presencia y la función, en varios sitios hohokam, de ciertos objetos polémicos, generalmente calificados de trituradoras o de manoplas queda por discutirse. Su morfología recuerda la de otros objetos mesoamericanos, las manoplas, frecuentemente asociados al juego de pelota. La identificación de canchas de juego hohokam, previamente discutida, queda ahora aceptada. Este trabajo no busca resolver la pregunta, pero sólo llamar la atención sobre un aspecto problemático de las relaciones entre Mesoamérica y Oasisamérica.
