The historic site, Chihuahua D:4:2, was excavated as part of a long-range plan to study the aboriginal and alien cultures of northwestern Chihuahua. This plan includes an archaeological survey of the area, test excavations in representative sites in order to define cultural assemblages or phases, and finally, through the use of the information thus derived, a study of the cultural dynamics of the area. It is believed that the study of the aboriginal cultures of this region should begin at a...

Given the relatively uniform nature of the seven identified resource processing sites in the Anthem at Merrill Ranch project area, as well as, Site AZ U:15:237(ASM) with its agricultural features, the research focus of the data recovery plan was to gain a better basic understanding of the temporal affiliations of and subsistence strategies represented by the project area’s eight prehistoric sites. An additional goal was to place these sites within the greater context of Hohokam occupation along...

Northwestern Chihuahua provides the field for a definition of the traditional Mexiacn plateau, a distinction between Sierra Madre Occidental and basin-and-range geomorphology, the discussion of basin-and-range orogeny, the relative roles of wind, gravity and water in denudation, and the problem of climatic change. Within an environment of varied climate, vegetation and terrain, a prehistoric people developed a coherent culture which can be reconstructed somewhat from rests of dwellings,...

Located along a spring-fed stream, Indian Garden has attracted and supported as wide a range of activities as perhaps any site in the area below the Mogollon Rim. Recent work by Desert Archaelogy has shown that prehistoric people used the Indian Garden area as early as 770 B.C., and that Apaches exploited the locality during the early twentieth century (Ferguson and Anyon 2000a; Sarah Herr, personal communication 2007). From the 1880s to the turn of this century, the site served sequentially as...

In 1986 archaeologists from the Cultural Resource Management Division of the Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, excavated a Rillito phase Hohokam settlement that lay in the path of the Tucson Aqueduct Phase B, Central Arizona Project. The site, AZ AA:12:384, nicknamed "Fastimes," was located northwest of Tucson at the northern end of the Avra Valley, some 6,7 km southwest of the Santa Cruz River. Trenching and stripping revealed 96 features, including at least 30 pit houses....
