Ancient History in the Sonoran Desert
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument的点评
点评：Archaeology is an interest of mine, and I make sure to set aside time to visit any place that preserves ancient history, whenever one is nearby. A visit to Phoenix, Arizona meant an opportunity to visit Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.
This monument preserves the structural dwellings of the Hohokam people who lived and thrived in this desert area. The centerpiece of this attraction is the big house, which is only partially intact, as some of it has eroded over time. There is a roof that was built in more recent times, presumably to help protect the structure. It looks a little odd, and certainly not natural, but I get why the National Park officials did this.
There are other, smaller structures surrounding the big house, plus educational information available as you walk around. No one is completely sure what this structure was used for but, given the presence of holes in the sides of the structure that align with the solstices, there is a good chance that astronomy was part of its purpose.
The parking lot at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument is large, and there is a visitor’s center and bookstore. One thing to keep in mind is that the visitor’s center may not be open when you visit, for example on Sunday’s during part of the year. But the monument itself will still be open for exploring the structures, even if the visitor’s center is locked.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument isn’t very big, and you can be in and out in about an hour or so. It’s certainly a site worth seeing, and a good side trip option for archaeological lovers who happen to be in the Phoenix area.

翻译：我对考古学很感兴趣，只要附近有保存古代历史的地方，我都会抽出时间去参观。亚利桑那州凤凰城之旅让我有机会参观卡萨格兰德遗址国家纪念碑。
这座纪念碑保存了曾在这片沙漠地区生活和繁衍生息的霍霍坎人的建筑式住宅。它的核心是那座大房子，由于部分建筑随着时间的推移已经遭到侵蚀，因此只有部分建筑保存完好。屋顶是近代建造的，可能是为了保护建筑。它看起来有点奇怪，当然也不符合自然规律，但我明白国家公园官员这样做的原因。
大房子周围还有其他一些较小的建筑，在周围漫步时还可以获得一些教育信息。没有人完全确定这座建筑的用途，但考虑到建筑侧面与至日点一致的孔洞，它很可能是为了天文学而建。
卡萨格兰德遗址国家纪念碑的停车场很大，还设有游客中心和书店。需要注意的是，游客中心在您参观时可能不开放，例如一年中部分时间的周日。但即使游客中心关闭，纪念碑本身仍然开放，供您参观。
卡萨格兰德遗址国家纪念碑规模不大，大约一个小时左右就可以进出。这绝对是一个值得一看的景点，对于恰好在凤凰城地区的考古爱好者来说，也是一个不错的短途旅行选择。
