The Prehistoric Archaeology of Heritage Square (1995)
Less than a decade ago, it seemed that the Hohokam had appeared out of nowhere. Here was a vibrant population of pottery making, irrigating, settled farmers, and the people before them: the nomadic Archaic tribes, who wandered the desert from one stand of ripening fruit to another in time with nature’s pulse. The one culture appeared so unlike the other that it seemed impossible to account for the sudden change in lifestyles. Then, in the 1980s, the first clues were found to bridge the gap...

Prehistoric Hilltop Sites in Central Arizona: the Question of Defense and Conflict in the Northern Hohokam Periphery (1982)
Archaeological investigations by the Central Arizona Ecotone Project in the New River area form the basis for an examination of the so-called fortified sites of central Arizona. Our interpretation of the defensive role these settlements may have played in prehistoric times differs from explanations which have been proposed for fortified sites in southern Arizona. We suggest that competition and conflict over resources led to the need for various kinds of defensive settlements in the northern...
Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of South Central Arizona: the Picacho Reservoir Archaic Project (1986)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a federal project being implemented to transport Colorado River water to large segments of central and southern Arizona. The project requires an extensive amount of construction of aqueducts, pumping stations, and canals. This report is the result of archaeological investigations along one portion of the aqueducts, the Tucson Aqueduct. This aqueduct alignment will bring water to the Picacho Reservoir region of central Arizona. Archaeological survey along...
Prehistoric Irrigation in Arizona: Symposium 1988 (1991)
Studies of Hohokam irrigation systems undertaken in the past 5 to 10 years, particularly in the Phoenix Basin, have provided a wealth of new data to be studied and assimilated by archaeologists. Recently completed and ongoing projects have required archaeologists to ask new questions and to apply a variety of investigative techniques to better understand the complexities of Hohokam irrigation systems. It is important that archaeologists studying Hohokam irrigation systems evaluate the increasing...

PRELIMINARY POLLEN, PHYTOLlTH, AND STARCH ANALYSIS FOR SITES LA138517 AND LA101481 (2004)
Two sites, located within the upper limits of Cedar Lake Draw in the Loco Hills, include a scatter of artifacts, burned caliche, and thermal features. The absence of middens argues for temporary settlements defined by simple fire hearths and a light scatter of artifacts that include flakes, cores, hammerstones, groundstone, and an occasional brownware sherd. Radiocarbon dates indicate occupation falls between approximately 2880 and 6280 BP. Combined pollen, phytolith, and starch analysis...
