Archeological Survey of the Sulphur Spring Valley, Southeast Arizona (1987)
The Willcox Playa Study grew from the realization that though surveys had been initiated in the Sulphur Spring Valley during the early days of Southwestern archeology, scarcely any subsequent work was undertaken, with the result that southeastern Arizona remains one of the least known regions of the prehistoric Southwest. We felt that a project would fill a gap in our knowledge of the area and would also contribute generally to Southwest archeology. The fact that the playa area is in the...
