PAINTED SHERDS IN THE PAINTED DESERT: A MULTISCALAR ANALYSIS OF A SHRINE SITE IN PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK2024 •
Lacey Point is a prominent butte rising above the Painted Desert in Petrified Forest National Park, containing a concentration of Ancestral Pueblo petroglyphs, an extensive and diverse ceramic assemblage, and the fugitive remains of a small jacal structure on the butte's summit. Archaeologists interpret Lacey Point as a regional shrine site devoted to themes of hunting and fertility. To assess this interpretation, I reviewed the form and landscape context of shrine sites in the American Southwest and conducted a comparative study of Lacey Point's ceramics with three contemporary Painted Desert sites to determine if Lacey Point's ceramic assemblage is indeed disproportionate in its quantity and diversity. I determine the landscape context of Lacey Point is consistent with regional shrine sites and identify cupule and grinding slick features characteristic of devotional shrine features. I establish Lacey Point has a disproportionately large and diverse ceramic assemblage, with a deeper temporal span than previously understood. I conclude Lacey Point was a space designed for regional ritual gatherings, with a range of domestic and ceremonial activities taking place on site. Adopting a multifarious approach enables a more holistic understanding of landscape iconography, imbedding petroglyphs within a greater network of interrelated archaeological features.

PERLE DI SARASVATĪ Dialoghi sullo yoga del suono2021 •
The word 'sound', in the West, has a meaning limited to the physical aspect and its various manifestations; it does not immediately render its subtle meanings of vibration and energy; for these it is necessary to refer to quantum physics on the exoteric scientific level and to metaphysics (the 'Logos') on the esoteric and religious level. Here we are faced with a text deeply imbued with Sanatana Dhārma, which is the highest expression of what we identify as Hinduism in the West. The almost insurmountable difficulty of being able to translate the meanings of saṃskṛtam, a sacred language, should not discourage us. Especially when the teaching is lovingly transmitted by a realized Master (Guru, Acharya): a teaching that flows like a river whose placid and benevolent waters flow from experience. Rare demonstration of what the results of Yoga can be, when it is acquired, experienced and vitalized in every instant of existence. La parola 'suono', in occidente, ha un significato limitato all'aspetto fisico e alle sue variegate manifestazioni; non rende in modo immediato i suoi significati sottili di vibrazione ed energia; per questi occorre fare riferimento alla fisica quantistica sul piano scientifico exoterico ed alla metafisica (il 'Logos' normalmente tradotto con il 'Verbo') sul piano esoterico e religioso. Qui siamo di fronte ad un testo profondamente intriso di Sanatana Dhārma, ovvero l'espressione più elevata di quello che in occidente identifichiamo come Hindūismo. La difficoltà quasi insormontabile di riuscire a tradurre i Significati del saṃskṛtam, lingua sacra, non deve però scoraggiarci. Soprattutto quando l'insegnamento viene amorevolmente trasmesso da un Maestro (Guru, Acharya) realizzato: un insegnamento che scorre come un fiume le cui acque placide e benevole scaturiscono dal vissuto.
