Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS): Database
Part of: Roosevelt Platform Mound Study
The Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) examined the ancient architecture, ecological relationships, economies, settlement patterns, social organization, and subsistence of three Classic period community complexes in the Tonto Basin of Arizona in the geographic areas known as Pinto Creek, Cline Terrace, and Rock Island. The data came from the investigation of over 75 prehistoric sites arranged in three clusters within the Tonto Basin. There are many sites arranged in other clusters that remain unstudied. The RPMS lasted for eight years, about four of which involved field investigation of the sites.
This collection includes the Access database developed and used by the RPMS for much of the description and analysis done as part of the project. Also included are documents describing the database including general background and a listing of the database tables and the data fields they include.
