Site AZ EE:9:117(ASM) is situated within the semi-desert grassland on the southwestern side of the Santa Cruz River approximately 3 miles northeast of Nogales, Arizona. This site represents an occupation between approximately 850-1150 AD.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES AT SITES AZ U:11:41 (ASM) AND AZ U:11:126 (ASM), ARIZONA (2006)
Features from two sites, AZ U:11:41 (ASM) and AZ U:11:126 (ASM) near Florence Junction, Arizona, were sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. Both sites were excavated as a part of the Ranch 160 Project. The sites have been identified as Late Colonial Hohokam occupations, representing Santa Cruz through Sacaton time periods. Five pollen samples were recovered from five separate features in the project area. Additionally, five bulk soil samples from the same features were floated to recover...
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT AZ AA:12:73(ASM), AVRA VALLEY ROAD, SOUTHERN ARIZONA (1998)
Limited archaeobotanic testing was undertaken at Huntington Ruin, a primary Hohokam village in the Santa Cruz River floodplain. Paired pollen and flotation samples represent hearth fill inside a pithouse. In addition, three botanic samples represent trash and a posthole in the pithouse. These samples were examined to provide subsistence information for the occupants of this Hohokam village.
POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT AZ BB:9:148 (ASM), ARIZONA (1999)
Samples from features at Site AZ BB:9:148 (ASM) in the northern portion of the Tucson Basin in southern Arizona were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. This site is believed to have been occupied by the Hohokam during the Rincon Phase, A.D. 950-1150, based on ceramic data. Excavations concentrated on six main areas at the site. Pollen and macrofloral analyses are used to provide information concerning plant resources available to and possibly utilized by the Hohokam occupants of...

Soil samples from a pit structure, a possible field house or outside activity area, and two areas of sheet trash at Site AZ BB:9:166 (ASM) in southern Arizona were sampled for pollen and macrofloral remains. A metate from the pit structure floor also was washed for pollen. Site AZ BB:9:166 (ASM) is a small Hohokam field house locus that appears to have been occupied for a short period of time during the Rincon phase of the Tucson Basin Hohokam, sequence (AD 950- 1150).

A Prehistoric Agricultural Field and Protohistoric Camp at AZ AA:16:335 (ASM) in the Tucson Basin: Data Recovery for the Road Widening Project (1992)
Two archaeological sites (AZ AA:16:334,335 ASM) on the edge of the Pleistocene terrace above the historic floodplain of the Santa Cruz River west of downtown Tucson, Arizona, threatened by widening of a road, were investigated to recover information prior to construction. The prehistoric rock features at site AZ AA:16:334 (ASM) were destroyed by a backhoe before this data recovery program began. On the basis of mapping of surface cultural features and artifact distributions, and total collection...
Prehistoric Agriculture at La Plata: Exploring Soil Texture Changes across Features (2007)
Numerous factors affect soil composition, including the parent rock, time, rainfall, wind, and animal burrowing and wastes, but human activities undoubtedly cause the most extensive change in soil properties over the shortest periods of time. At Pueblo La Plata, intensive agricultural practices were utilized for just over 200 years, and yet, six centuries later, the legacies created on the landscape are still as visible. This paper will focus on the effects of prehistoric agriculture on soil...

Between February 6 and 12, 1986, Scott L. Fedick and Lyle M. Stone of Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS), performed an archaeological survey of approximately 525 acres of Salt River Project (SRP) owned land in the vicinity of the SRP Administrative Offices complex in northwest Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona. This study also involved background literature and archaeological site file research, and was undertaken at the request of the SRP Environmental Services Department in order to...
The Prehistoric Archaeology of Heritage Square (1995)
Less than a decade ago, it seemed that the Hohokam had appeared out of nowhere. Here was a vibrant population of pottery making, irrigating, settled farmers, and the people before them: the nomadic Archaic tribes, who wandered the desert from one stand of ripening fruit to another in time with nature’s pulse. The one culture appeared so unlike the other that it seemed impossible to account for the sudden change in lifestyles. Then, in the 1980s, the first clues were found to bridge the gap...
Prehistoric Hilltop Sites in Central Arizona: the Question of Defense and Conflict in the Northern Hohokam Periphery (1982)
Archaeological investigations by the Central Arizona Ecotone Project in the New River area form the basis for an examination of the so-called fortified sites of central Arizona. Our interpretation of the defensive role these settlements may have played in prehistoric times differs from explanations which have been proposed for fortified sites in southern Arizona. We suggest that competition and conflict over resources led to the need for various kinds of defensive settlements in the northern...
Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of South Central Arizona: the Picacho Reservoir Archaic Project (1986)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a federal project being implemented to transport Colorado River water to large segments of central and southern Arizona. The project requires an extensive amount of construction of aqueducts, pumping stations, and canals. This report is the result of archaeological investigations along one portion of the aqueducts, the Tucson Aqueduct. This aqueduct alignment will bring water to the Picacho Reservoir region of central Arizona. Archaeological survey along...
