Hohokam Chronology: an Essay on History and Method (1978)
This chapter approaches Hohokam chronology from several different but interrelated standpoints. First, I review the history of research in order to ferret out the origins of various ideas about Hohokam chronology. Emphasis is placed on evaluating the methods and evidence that previous investigators used to arrive at their conclusions. Secondly, a new chronology is constructed based on absolute dates. And, finally, suggestions are offered for additional chronological research, especially in the...

She begins with a description of the intellectual history and the key concepts of the Hohokam core-periphery model and the Hohokam regional system model. She then examines the utility of the core-periphery model for explaining current data on Hohokam prehistory. After reviewing the distribution of several quintessential Hohokam traits among sites in the “core” and in the...
