Few things in Southwestern archaeology are so widely and hotly contested as the Hohokam phase sequence and chronology. Presently, no fewer than 12 different Hohokam chronologies exist and more appear to be under production. Disputes concerning the Hohokam chronology involve not only the dating of phases but also, even more basically, challenges to the integrity of the phase definitions. In the last decade, controversy has focused on three aspects of the chronology; (1) the validity and ordering...

Salt River Project (SRP) plans to construct a new 230 kV transmission line between the Browning and Dinosaur substations east of Mesa and Queen Creek, Arizona. A cultural resources survey has determined that portions of three archaeological sites that meet criteria for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places are present within the transmission line corridor (Henderson 2005). Desert Archaeology, Inc., has prepared this plan at the request of SRP to conduct phased data recovery...

This project presents a series of publications associated with the Salt-Gila Aqueduct Archaeological Data Collection Studies and Supplemental Class III Survey Project (SGA). The research focused on data recovery at those sites potentially subject to impact as a consequence of Central Arizona Project construction. Salt-Gila Aqueduct Central Arizona Project construction occured along a route extending 97 km from a point south of Apache Junction, Arizona, to the Picacho Reservoir. Significant...

Stylistic analyses of sherds have formed the basis of some reconstructed patterns of prehistoric regional interaction without adequately addressing potential factors that affect stylistic variation. The archaeological problem of identifying factors that affect stylistic variation is addressed using the results of functional and stylistic analyses of Red-on-buff vessels. The attributes of vessel size and shape, thickness of painted lines, and design diversity are used to inform on the scale of...
