Samples from Sites AZ U: 1 : 31 (ASM), AZ U: 1 : 34 (ASM), AZ U: 1 : 42 (ASM), and AZ U: 1: 102 (ASM) in northern Maricopa County of south-central Arizona were examined for pollen and macrofloral remains. These sites are located immediately next to the Cave Creek Sanitary Landfill and are believed to be Hohokam sites of either the late Santa Cruz (A.D. 750-950), Sacaton (A.D.

A small habitation site was recovered in an alluvial basin along Anegam Wash east of the Sheridan Mountains in southern Arizona. The site was occupied from Hohokam through historic Papago times. Pollen and macrofloral analysis examines a small roasting pit, and the pollen record addresses contents of a trash midden. Paleoethnobotanic analysis focuses on the identification of evidence of subsistence activities.

Pollen and phytolith analyses were undertaken on samples from three rock piles at AZ EE:3:48, the Cottonwood Wash Rock Pile site. These rock piles are situated in semidesert grassland and probably represent Hohokam dry farming features used during the Classic period between AD 1100 and 1300. Rock piles often are interpreted to be associated with agave cultivation, although both maize and cotton pollen also have been recovered from sediments associated with rock piles in the Tucson Basin (Fish...

The purpose of this little book is to outline in a concise form the methods used to make bits of broken pottery contribute to the history of the Southwest. In the interpretation of archaeological finds, pottery plays a most important role because of its wide distribution in time and space, its resistance to atmospheric weathering, and the number of culture traits that can be observed in pottery fragments. The manufacture of pottery is an old human activity. In the Old World pottery has been made...

Numerous factors affect soil composition, including the parent rock, time, rainfall, wind, and animal burrowing and wastes, but human activities undoubtedly cause the most extensive change in soil properties over the shortest periods of time. At Pueblo La Plata, intensive agricultural practices were utilized for just over 200 years, and yet, six centuries later, the legacies created on the landscape are still as visible.

Less than a decade ago, it seemed that the Hohokam had appeared out of nowhere. Here was a vibrant population of pottery making, irrigating, settled farmers, and the people before them: the nomadic Archaic tribes, who wandered the desert from one stand of ripening fruit to another in time with nature’s pulse. The one culture appeared so unlike the other that it seemed impossible to account for the sudden change in lifestyles. Then, in the 1980s, the first clues were found to bridge the gap...

Archaeological investigations by the Central Arizona Ecotone Project in the New River area form the basis for an examination of the so-called fortified sites of central Arizona.

We suggest that competition and conflict over resources led to the need for various kinds of defensive settlements in the northern...

The City of Phoenix sponsored a voluntary archaeological project at the proposed location of a new recreation building. The project area is within the large Hohokam village of Pueblo Viejo, AZ T:12:73(ASM). The village was occupied from the Colonial period through the Classic period and covers about 640 acres. Field work at the site was conducted between March 30 and April 14, 1992, by a crew of four. Post-excavation monitoring of utility trenches by a single archaeologist took place September...

Five hundred and twenty-two sherds recovered from excavations at the West Branch site were submitted for temper characterization. Temper source characterization was based on Lombard's (1987c) reconnaissance mapping of temper resource compositional zones, or petrofacies, in the Tucson Basin and Avra Valley; and incorporates refinements to the Tucson Basin model made by Lombard (1987a, 1987b, 1987d, 1990) and Heidke (1994); and refinement of the Avra Valley model made by KamiUi (1994). Samples...

I present a preliminary regional database of mortuary practices for the Casas Grandes region of Chihuahua, Mexico. The reported prehistoric mortuary remains from the region are overwhelmingly drawn from the Paquime and Convento sites reported by Charles C. DiPeso and colleagues. Often overlooked, however, are several smaller samples that are reported with less detail. Given the complex nature of mortuary ritual from the region (especially in the late ceramic periods), the structure of the...

Archaeological fieldwork for the Rancho Vistoso Survey was done between March 31, 1986 and July 3, 1986. A total of 240 person days was expended surveying the nearly 8,000 acres within the project boundaries. Forty-six sites and 128 non-sites were recorded and given field designations (FD’s). Two large prehistoric villages, known from earlier archaeological work in the area, were also mapped in detail and systematic surface collections made. The following section describes all surface artifact...

Note: There is an inconsistency on the coding key for taxon, code 593 is used twice. Except for taxon codes 588-593 the key is consistent with ULCPP and CARP. Because taxon codes 588-593 do not appear in the database the CARP (most recent) coding keys are used.

The results of data recovery investigations of a prehistoric canal within the city-owned NANT property are presented in this report. The canal was identified in June 2012, while boundary testing the southern limits of the prehistoric site, Dutch Canal Ruin, AZ T:12:62 (ASM), and could be recognized as a continuation of the Barranca Canal, a previously identified alignment within the Canal Patricio System, AZ T:12:131 (ASM). Because testing had established that archaeological resources...

The study of Tucson’s prehistory has been pursued with an unprecedented intensity in recent years, and it seemed essential that the new results that were emerging be shared on a broader basis. This volume is the outcome of papers prepared for the Second Tucson Basin Conference in conjunction with the 1986 fall meeting of the Arizona Archaeological Council.

Hundreds of Western Apache roasting pits have been documented by archaeological surveys in Central Arizona, but prior to A.D. 2000 few had been excavated. These large, visible, accumulations of fire-cracked rock and dark soil are essentially the only enduring Western Apache modifications of the physical landscape and the best candidates for planned research on past Western Apache experience, as pre-reservation sites and features in the region are often far more subtle. Two large roasting pits,...

On February 5, 2002, City of Phoenix Archaeologist Todd Bostwick contacted Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) to set up a meeting with the City’s Department of Street Transportation staff to coordinate the recovery of a burial that was encountered during the installation of a sewer line. In 1996, Mr. Bostwick recovered a cranium and a whole vessel under emergency conditions from a construction trench that had cut through a Hohokam inhumation (Bostwick 1996). The City attempted to...

Archaeologists interested in the prehistory of the Gila-Salt drainage of southern Arizona proposed that a group of Pueblo people termed the Salado, moved into the desert area of northern Pimeria Alta sometime during the Classic Period of the Hohokam historical continuum. Although this hypothesis has become a tradition, certain researchers have, on occasion, questioned its validity. The Amerind Foundation, Inc., after working for a number of years in historic contact sites in Pimeria Alta, turned...
