The nature of Hohokam social organization has always been at the core of debates surrounding the prehistory of southern Arizona. Changing theoretical perspectives have shifted the directions and foci of controversy but the differences in these orientations can largely be described in terms of the assumptions made about social organization. A continuing thread to the arguments has been disagreement over the nature of power relationships in Hohokam society and the importance of such relationships...

Understanding the full range of interactions between human groups and volcanic eruptions is of great importance, not only for predicting volcanic hazards and potentially saving lives, but also for insights into human behavior and specifically, on the ways in which populations adapt to catastrophic events. However, most accounts of human/volcano interaction are confined to the past few hundred years, thereby limiting the number of cases and the formulation of predictive models. In this...

Archaeological research in east-central Arizona and west-central New Mexico has succeeded in defining a distinctive cultural entity, the Mogollon, which came into existence about A.D. 1 and lasted until A.D. 1000. The 1000 years of Mogollon culture history are characterized by the indigenous evolution of pithouse villages, brownware pottery, and various artifact forms. Flexed inhumation was the characteristic burial type. Foreign influences were relatively insignificant, resulting in the...
