The Hohokam of central Arizona left behind evidence of a culture markedly different from and more complex than the small communities of O'odham farmers first encountered by Europeans in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries A.D. Archaeologists have worked for well over a century to document Hohokam culture history, but much about Pre-Columbian life in the Sonoran Desert remains poorly understood. In particular, the organization of the Hohokam economy in the Phoenix Basin has been an elusive...

Histories of archaeology increasingly focus on the role that the social context of the discipline plays in shaping its intellectual production. Of particular importance in the social context of American archaeology during the last half of the 20th century is the development of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) archaeology. The coalescence of the CRM industry has transformed archaeology—providing new sources of support, mandating new goals, and placing practitioners into newly emergent...

La Villa is a Phoenix Basin Hohokam site situated along Canal System 2 with continued occupation from the late Pioneer to the early Sedentary Period, or approximately 500 years. Since 1994, there have been six archaeological projects at the site that have recovered the range of mortuary features expected for that extent of time; 107 cremations, 14 inhumations, and hundreds of instances of isolated bone. The large number of burials therefore provides the opportunity to examine various aspects of...

Throughout the Southwestern United States and Mesoamerica, prehistoric people used running and racing as a means of religious expression, personal sacrifice and community cohesion. In such context, the physical location of racing was often unimportant and constructed facilities were relatively rare. In the Perry Mesa region of Central Arizona, however, manufactured “racetracks” were highly formalized and represent the only form of communal architecture in this area. We studied these features...

The body of literature dealing with the archaeology of the San Juan drainage, while large, is strangely silent concerning the extreme northeastern corner of Arizona in the region of the Carrizo and Lukachukai Mountains.

Prehistoric occupation of the Tucson Basin extends back at least 6,000 years. Not surprisingly, as a primary watercourse, the Santa Cruz River has been the focus of much of the prehistoric activity. Approximately 4,000 years ago, early agriculturalists began farming along the banks of the river, supplementing a diet composed primarily of wild foods. As agricultural technology developed, people built canals in the floodplain. The canals increased crop yields and reduced some of the risks...

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 204 was identified in 2009 during excavations in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately east of the latter and they appear to have shared a common wall throughout most, if not all, occupations. In 2010, additional excavation was undertaken in the southern section of Phyllis Pueblo. This continued research was designed to answer questions about...

Two prehistoric sites at the Rinker Materials Plant 225 in Green Valley, Arizona were surveyed in 1999. Rock piles were identified in both the Rinker Site (AZ EE:1:291), and the Mesquacia Site (AZ EE:1:293). Although rock piles have typically been interpreted as being associated with agricultural activities of the Hohokam, they are now proposed to be agrobiological sites. Their prime function is interpreted to be the enhancement of plant nutrition and growth relative to soil management. Ten...

Forty tabular stone knives from Sites AZ U:2:73, AZ U:2:80, and AZ U:2:93 in the Lower Verde project area in central Arizona were washed for phytoliths and possible plant proteins. These knives were recovered from floors or roofs in processing areas at village sites and are believed to have been used to process agave. The phytolith washes were examined for the presence of agave raphids, and the protein residue washes were tested against agave antisera to detect prehistoric agave proteins.
