The Parque de Santa Cruz Project: Life on the Northern Margin of the Valencia Community (2009)
Prehistoric occupation of the Tucson Basin extends back at least 6,000 years. Not surprisingly, as a primary watercourse, the Santa Cruz River has been the focus of much of the prehistoric activity. Approximately 4,000 years ago, early agriculturalists began farming along the banks of the river, supplementing a diet composed primarily of wild foods. As agricultural technology developed, people built canals in the floodplain. The canals increased crop yields and reduced some of the risks...

Petrographic and Qualitative Analysis of Tanque Verde Red-on-brown Sherds from the Northern Tucson Basin and Avra Valley (1995)
Ceramic vessels produced in the prehistoric southwest often contain abundant temper such as sand, disaggregated rock, and crushed sherd. Both sand and disaggregated rock tempers can be used as indicators of the provenance of archaeological ceramics when their geological sources are identified (Arnold 1985; Miksa 1995; Miksa and Heidke 1995; Schaller 1994; Shepard 1936, 1942). The goal of the present study is to identify the provenance of Tanque Verde Red-on-brown ceramics recovered from a...
