Besh-Ba-Gowah of Globe, Arizona. Just off of Interstate 60. Besh-Ba-Gowah is the site of an ancient Salado village, which was inhabited from about A.D. 1,225-1,400 . A Google Earth Map search marks Besh-Ba-Gowah at about: 33o 22' 53.70" N 110o 46' 22.16" W. It is at about 3,638 feet elevation.
The Salado: The Salado people refers to a mixed culture that existed in the Tonto Basin of southeastern Arizona from about 1,150 AD through the mid 1,400's AD. Some think that their culture emerged from the older Hohokam Culture. Characteristics of the Salado culture include very distinctive Salado Polychrome pottery, communities within walled adobe compounds, and the burial of the dead, rather than cremation, which was typical of the Hohokam and others. The Salado were very good farmers, using very simple irrigation techniques to water their fields of corn, beans, pumpkins, amaranth, and cotton. They also hunted local game and gathered buds, leaves, and roots to supplement their diet. They also traded with other cultures that visited the area, as indicated by many archaeological finds of seashells from the Gulf of California, and even macaw feathers from Mexico. We really know very little about who the Salado were. They left no written record of their existence, no chronology of events that shaped their society. They existed as a culture that we can recognize only for a short 300 years and then for unknown reasons they disappeared. We only have a few signs of their life; in their pottery, in remnants of their fabric, in smoke stains from their cook fires, and in hand prints on their pueblo walls. Besh-Ba-Gowah & The Salado:
Besh-Ba-Gowah Today: This is one of the best maintained ruins in Arizona. They have a very well stocked gift shop and very nice museum. They have a very nice and friendly staff. Besh-Ba-Gowah was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Visiting Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park: Address: 1324 Jesse Hayes Road, Globe, Arizona. From central Phoenix, take eastbound Interstate 10 to U.S. 60 and continue east to Globe. Note there is a sign to the Historic District at Broad Street. Continue for another half-mile, then turn left on Oak Street ( there you see a sign to Besh-Ba-Gowah ), go for about a 1/10 of a mile and turn right on Broad Street. Continue another 1 1/2miles, following the signs. You'll end up on Jesse Hayes Road. Turn right at the sign to Besh-Ba-Gowah, go uphill past the Globe Community Center and circle around into the parking lot.
