***About Hohokam Ballcourts:

*** Ballcourts were central features in Hohokam villages, primarily used between AD 700 and 1200. These oval-shaped, flat-bottomed depressions lined with earthen or masonry walls were sites for games that likely held social, ceremonial, and political significance. Described variably as resembling modern-day tennis courts but mostly without nets, their exact purpose remains a subject of debate among archaeologists. The Hohokam civilization is noted for its impressive canal systems which transformed the arid valleys of Arizona into habitable oases, supporting large communities that thrived on agriculture.
