A Critical Evaluation of Soil Salinization, Waterlogging, and Agricultural Fertility within Hohokam Irrigation of the Phoenix Basin (2021)
This is a presentation from the 2021 Arizona Archaeological Council (AAC) Fall symposium on "The Archaeology of Canals in the Arizona Desert". In arid and semi-arid regions, soil salinization and waterlogging are thought to cause agricultural infertility and social change. Although common in irrigation models and theories, empirical evidence supporting a primary causal link among salinization, waterlogging, and infertility has proved elusive. Proxies and indirect measures (e.g., soil...

S. Department of the Interior, made arrangements...
