This report is an attempt to combine the ethnohistory of the Sobaipuri with archaeological findings. By using the descriptions of these natives penned by their Spanish contemporaries I have endeavored to correlate the archeological remains found at the Sobaipuri sites. To define this effort I have taken the liberty to coin the word "archaeohistory." Each chapter is a complete unit within itself, containing an introduction, a description of materials, and a summary. The other chapters will...

Of the many valleys in the southern desert of Arizona, the prehistoric Hohokam concentrated the largest and greatest of their communities in the Phoenix basin. It was here that they constructed the most elaborate and extensive of their canal networks. Their success drew on two unique characteristics of the basin environment. The first was the Salt River; the most competent and consistent source of water in the southern desert, it surpasses five-fold the volume and capacity of the Gila River to...

The last decade has seen a quantum leap in our understanding of the Hohokam. From those first days of defining the Hohokam as a cultural entity, great strides have been taken in describing their subsistence and settlement systems, explicating core-periphery relationships, and modeling the processes of Hohokam development, expansion, and decline. And yet, the old adage “the faster we go, the further behind we get” seems particularly descriptive of the current state of Hohokam archaeology. While...
