Spring 2004 Architecture Studies at Pueblo La Plata (2004)
DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text
Studies of the architecture of Pueblo La Plata, particularly room construction sequences, formed one component of the Legacies on the Landscape project research in 2004. The goals of this portion of the project were to improve our understanding of how the pueblo was built, and to gain a sense of population size and changes over time. In particular, we wished to determine whether a sizeable core area of rooms (representing the first construction phase of the pueblo) was visible, and whether the...

Strontium (Sr) Isotope Analysis and Provenance of Construction Wood at Wupatki Pueblo (NA 405), in Northern Arizona (2011)
DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text
Strontium (Sr) isotope analyses of construction wood from the prehistoric Wupatki Pueblo in northern Arizona was undertaken to identify the source of the wood, given that Wupatki is located 20-30 km north of areas where suitable high elevation pine and fir trees are found. Unfortunately, due to the presence of high levels of blown-in dust, the Sr analysis of potential wood source areas could not distinguish between them, negating this research. A secondary goal was to investigate the possibility...

Structure and Organization at La Ciudad (1987)
DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text
The last decade has seen a quantum leap in our understanding of the Hohokam. From those first days of defining the Hohokam as a cultural entity, great strides have been taken in describing their subsistence and settlement systems, explicating core-periphery relationships, and modeling the processes of Hohokam development, expansion, and decline. And yet, the old adage “the faster we go, the further behind we get” seems particularly descriptive of the current state of Hohokam archaeology. While...
