Linda Gregonis will discuss her latest book, co-written with Victoria R. Evans, The Hohokam and Their World. People traveling around the Sonoran Desert see the traces of an ancient society, the Hohokam, through the material that they left behind—pottery, shell ornaments, carved stone, and rock imagery. The book offers readers the opportunity to explore how these various images and objects may have been used by the Hohokam, and what the icons and objects may have meant, including how the Hohokam conveyed ideas about water, the Sonoran Desert, the ocean, travel, ancestors, and the cosmos.

Linda Gregonis is an independent researcher with a master’s degree in anthropology from the University of Arizona. She has researched various aspects of Hohokam culture for over 40 years including the Hardy site at Fort Lowell. She is currently the editor of the University of Arizona Anthropological Papers series and has prepared numerous indexes for academic social and environmental science books. Her current book, written with Victoria Riley Evans, The Hohokam and Their World an Exploration of Art and Iconography, was released in March of 2025.
