What Time Was It at Spirit Mountain?
A look at how time was measured near modern-day Laughlin before clocks existed.
FIELD JOURNAL: Grapevine Canyon Petroglyphs
ANALYSIS: Before clocks, time near 'Avi Kwa' Ame (Spirit Mountain) was cyclical, not linear. It was marked by the winter solstice sun aligning with rock features, the bloom of the desert marigold, and the migration of bighorn sheep. Time was an event, a season, a position of the sun—not a number on a dial.
