Author(s): J. Homer Thiel
Year: 2005
Summary
A brief cultural background of the Tucson Basin and a set of research questions that guided work at BB:13:157 and BB:13:505 have been presented in Chapter 1. The work at prehistoric sites is presented in Chapter 2, while Chapter 3 chronicles the history of the Leon family and their property. Excavations at the Leon farmstead and the adjacent historic period canal are described in Chapter 4. The historic-period artifacts recovered from the Leon farmstead are examined in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 presents the petrographic study used to determine the places where Native American pottery found at the site was made. A study of historic Native American ceramics follows in Chapter 7, and a discussion of the Leon family's diet is included in Chapter 8. Finally, new findings made through the work conducted during this project are summarized in Chapter 9.
