Accounts of a Type Ia supernova (SN), appearing in the constellation Lupus during the northern hemisphere spring of A.D. 1006, were recordedby observers in Europe, the Middle East and East Asia but no known records appear in the Americas. A petroglyph found at a Hohokam rock art site in White Tanks Regional Park near Phoenix, Arizona, occupied from A.D. 500-1100 may depict this event in context with recognizable asterisms. We compare the iconography of the glyph with the observable sky from the latitude of the site as well as the widely-recognized pictograph showing the A.D. 1054 Crab Nebula SN event at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Neighboring glyphs on the same rock face may represent constellations in the Hohokam sky, unknown from other sources.
