Hohokam Communities: Taking Risks and Making Trade-offs
Author(s): April Kamp-Whittaker; Andrea Barker; Margaret Nelson
Year: 2016
Summary
Hohokam Risks and Trade-offs is the product of research funded by an NSF Coupled Human and Natural Systems grant that focused on the role of social and ecological diversity in reducing risk of food shortfall or supporting food security. Several teaching tools were developed to demonstrate to students the risks undertaken and trade-offs made by prehistoric southwestern groups in the selection of residential locations. The curriculum, based on a platform designed by NASA, engages students in the analytical thought processes undertaken in archaeological research and requires them to synthesize the results of their findings to share in a classroom setting.
