Ancient Ballcourts of the Southwest
Ballcourts and human sacrifice have been documented in Mexico for hundreds of years. But what about ball games in Arizona where more than 200 courts have been identified and dated to over 1,000 years old? Archaeologist Dr. David Wilcox from the Museum of Northern Arizona explores (on-location) some of the best ballcourts and archaeological sites throughout the Southwest. In this program Dr. Wilcox shares bold theories on the possible religious and economic functions of the courts. Visit sites including Casa Grande, Wupatki, and the extraordinary ruins of Chaco Canyon.
