Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The four-armed cross, a form of the swastika, appears as the central feature in the decoration of a majority of the Piman and Maricopa baskets of to-day, and while the true signification here is not known with certainty, it is not impossible that it was designed originally to represent the winds of the four cardinal directions. Less than a generation ago the swastika was employed by the Pima to decorate their shields, and as a brand for their horses.plain2018-03-16T21:11:20-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

In earlier time they lived in circular houses constructed of a framework of heavy poles covered with arrow-brush and coated with mud. In many of the modern rectangular houses, also, the arrow-brush is used, bound together closely with withes, and plastered on the outside with adobe.plain2018-03-16T21:11:24-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637
