Hohokam Clothing and Footwear

The villagers wore a cloth and an apron. In winter, I wore backskin shirts, cloth shawls and blankets. Please wear sandals to protect your feet. During the holidays, they wore a hat, a head scarf, a headband, a belt, a skirt.

Hohokam manufactures ropes (threads) for weaving, sewing fabrics of cotton, corn, yucca and agave. To use Yuccha and Agave, the Indian cut the leaves with a thin saw-like stone knife. Then, using a heavy rock scraper, we removed the meat from the leaves and removed the fiber. The mass of fibers is twisted on the spindle shaft or rolled between the hands and thighs to form a long cord.

The rope is woven into a fabric with a loom or it is woven and stitched by hand. Villagers incorporate color and design into textiles by changing the way weave, weaning, and dyeing fabrics.

In the case of a needle, the villagers spiked the tip of yucca and agave leaves and left the adhered fibrous fiber as a line. Alternatively, they make needles with bone fragments or long needle cactus. They also use bone cones for weaving and leather processing.

Dress the animal's skin. Sunburned backskin makes beautiful shirts and sandals. In order to use rabbit or other small animal skin, the Indians cut the prepared skin into thin strips and joined the strips end to end. Next, wind the strip around the root of the plant fiber rope using one or two long furs

I will make a fur and a rope blanket. When the Spaniard brought sheep to the house till the 17th century, the clothing of the wool in the southwestern part was not known.

Hohokam also decorated herself with jewelry. They wear bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces and stuffy nose. Jewelry is made of shells, semiprecious stones, pottery, bones. You can draw Hohokam yourself as well.

Hohokam agriculture includes corn, beans, pumpkin, agave, cotton, and tobacco. Hohokam weaves their cotton in fabric, which is often used as a product. Hohokam deals with California's Indian countries and Mexico countries. They also deal in civilizations in the southwestern part of the neighbor such as Hohokam and Mogollon. The towns and villages of Hohokam are usually built periodically along the main canal. In Hohokam town like Snaketown, most houses were built by shallow holes one foot below the surface of the desert. Then place a column perpendicular to the bottom of the pit to support the clay-covered inclined sidebar

Hohokam organizes villages to coordinate and coordinate various activities. The house is integrated in residential areas. In order to keep the village clean, Hohokam discards garbage in the trash bin of a specific area. They took advantage of the village's large vacant lot for cluttered activities involving the use of large earth stove (horny). Hornos, 6 to 10 feet long and 6 to 8 feet deep, are used to stagger other foods such as agave plants and corn and pumpkins.

Hohokam deals in a wide range of products in the southwestern United States and Central America (Mexico). My hobbies such as Hohokam cotton and blankets are very precious and I am good at switching networks. Shell bracelets, pendants, rings and other shell items made in the California bay were traded in the Hoho cam district. Pendants and other items made of turquoise are traded from various sources in the heart of Hohokam. Ceramic cans are widely traded, and ships found in northern Hokam and Eastern Arizona are not uncommon. Many of these traded ceramics are strange shapes like dining rooms, duck portraits bowls and other unique types.
