An Analysis of the Fitch Site and its Relationship to the Hohokam Classic Period (1963)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard A. Pailes.

The Fitch Site designated AZ:U:9:1 (ASU), is a Classic Period site of the Hohokam chronology. It is situated just north of Mesa, Arizona, on the second south terrace of the Salt River. The significance of the site to our knowledge of the Classic Period is in the fact that it is a small site consisting of a habitation structure with three rooms and connecting walls, the whole forming a compound unit. The emphasis of former research in this area had been on large sites such as Los Muertos and...

The Anasazi Origins Project Digital Archives Initiative
PROJECT David M. Plaza.

The Anasazi Origins Project (AOP) was led by Cynthia Iriwn-Williams to investigate the antecedents of Ancestral Puebloans, which she called the Oshara Tradition, in the Arroyo Cuervo Region of northwestern New Mexico. This project was fundamental to the understanding of the Archaic period in the northern Southwest at a time when this area was understudied. One result of this monumental investigation is the enormous collection of artifacts, ecofacts, and contextual documents from its field...

Ancestors in Cosmologies (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Cordell. David Freidel. Kelley Hays-Gilpin. Tim Pauketat. Christine VanPool.

This article discusses the role of ancestors in New World cosmologies. Specifically, it gives examples of how ancestors mediate cosmologies through sensory experiences, things, and places. In Eastern North America, ancestors were engaged in posts, bundles, stars, mounds, and temples. In the American Southwest, “conceptual packages” of wind, water, and breath represented the cosmological force shared by humans, ancestors, and places. Mesoamericans transformed the dead into ancestors by...


The Ancient Agroecology of Perry Mesa: Integrating Runoff, Nutrients, and Climate (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Melissa Kruse-Peeples.

Understanding agricultural land use requires the integration of natural factors, such as climate and nutrients, as well as human factors, such as agricultural intensification. Employing an agroecological framework, I use the Perry Mesa landscape, located in central Arizona, as a case study to explore the intersection of these factors to investigate prehistoric agriculture from A.D. 1275-1450. Ancient Perry Mesa farmers used a runoff agricultural strategy and constructed extensive alignments,...
