Similarity in Design Symmetry and Style Between Trincheras Rock Art and Hohokam Ceramic Design: Implications for Parallel Meanings
Author(s): Owen Lindauer; Bert Zaslow
Year: 1986
Summary
There are petroglyphs from Cerro Calera, Caborca, Sonora whose stylistic structure indicates planning and characteristics identical to banded patterns found on Hohokam pottery. Symmetry is used to make formalized descriptions and comparisons between this Trincheras rock art and Hohokam ceramic two-dimensional patterns. The quality of planning of the petroglyphs is used to describe the derivation and context of the designs. Specific similarities between rock art and pottery design are identified at the levels of primary linework, of elaboration, and attributes that serve to frame two-dimensional patterns. Meaning in the similarity is discussed in terms of the production context of these designs.
