As this volume well illustrates, the identification and study of intracommunity social units have become a major focus of Hohokam research. Comparison and contrast of these units in relation to models of site structure, burial practices, and artifact distributions have begun to produce significant new insights into the evolution of Hohokam social systems. These interests reflect national trends in archaeological research that began over thirty years ago when "settlement pattern" studies and the...
