Los Guanacos: One Hundred Years Later, Recent Documentary and Archaeological Research Concerning a Prehistoric Hohokam Site First Investigated by the Hemenway Expedition of 1887 - 1888 (1988)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Judy Brunson. Scott L. Fedick.

Much current archaeological research into prehistoric Hohokam society deals with relationships among the variables of site size, types of architecture, chronological placement, and the development of the canal system through time. Unfortunately, an alarming number of Hohokam sites have been destroyed or severely altered during the last hundred years of agricultural and urban development in the Salt River Valley. Because of these losses, early historic descriptions of Hohokam sites are of vital...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Jessica Bowes. Heather Trigg.

Macrobotanicals were analyzed from a sub-floor pit in a 19th century slave cabin located at Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest plantation (Virginia) during the tenure of the Hutter family as plantation owners. The thousands of seed and wood remains recovered illustrate that the slaves’ main subsistence strategies were provisioning, or receiving food from the plantation owner, production, or growing their own food, and the procurement of wild resources. These various subsistence strategies...
