The ball court in the background is one of several in this area, the northern-most ones that have been discovered.
In southern Arizona and all through Mexico and Central America ball courts are fairly common.

We kno very little about the game that was played in this court.
However, in Arizona site two rubber balls have been found which are similar to those
seen in use in the Mexican ball courts by the Spanish conquerers when they first entered Mexico.
The game played here, if like those in Mexico, was part of religious ritual.
