The record — long form
Casa Grande is the Hohokam great house — the fourteenth-century ruin in the Arizona desert, the four-story caliche tower being the largest surviving structure of a civilization that built canals in the sand and vanished before the Spanish came.
The file's documented spine is the building's survival: a great house still standing six hundred years after its people dispersed, the tower being the desert's monument to the Hohokam's irrigation civilization.
The Hohokam
The site's lore is documented — the file's register being the builders' presence: the people who raised the great house reportedly still at the ruin, the desert keeping the civilization that made the sand bloom.
The Hohokam's presence is the file's signature — a ruin keeping its builders, the great house's rooms reportedly still holding the people who made them in the desert.
Why this file matters
Casa Grande is the archive's great-house file — a 14th-century tower keeping the Hohokam reportedly still present. The documented ruin is the record; the lingering builders are the lore of a civilization the desert preserved.
A great house that survived six centuries keeps its people — the file's suggestion being that the Hohokam never fully left the tower they raised from the desert floor.
