The Fort Mountain Archaeological Project, Volume 1: Archaeological Investigations at Five Prehistoric Sites Near the Base of Fort Mountain in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (2012)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Ross S. Curtis. Thomas E. Wright.

Five prehistoric Hohokam sites were investigated near the base of Fort Mountain in northern Phoenix. Three of these sites were small habitation areas linked by a canal, one was a cluster of rockpiles used for agricultural purposes, and one was a a dry-farming system of rock alignments, check dams, and terraces. Collectively, the sites suggest short-term, probably seasonal occupation associated with agricultural activities during the Sedentary/Classic transition and early Classic period in the...

Frank Midvale's Investigation of the Site of La Ciudad (1987)

DOCUMENT Full-Text David R. Wilcox.

La Ciudad Phoenix was one of numerous Hohokam Indian villages that once were located about every three miles (4.8 kilometers) along extensive irrigation canals in the Salt and Gila river valleys. First founded in the early centuries A.D., La Ciudad endured for a millennium or more, evolving new forms of organization to meet life’s challenges on several scales of interaction, only to fail in the end when the Hohokam abandoned the Phoenix basin about A.D. 1450. The more archaeologists learn about...

Geoarchaeology of Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe

PROJECT Gary Haynes. Teresa Wriston.

As part of ongoing investigations by Gary Haynes in Hwange National Park, Teresa Wriston began doctoral research in northwestern Zimbabwe in 2008. The primary goal of this research is to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions in southcentral Africa during the transition from hunting and gathering lifeways to agropastoralism. Establishing when and where this occurred in the project area was the first task. To date, two rockshelters have been excavated revealing an estimated 142,000...
