The Coronado Project: Anasazi Settlements Overlooking the Puerco Valley, Arizona, Volume 3

Editor(s): David H. Greenwald; Richard V. N. Ahlstrom; Marianne Marek

Year: 1993

Summary

The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. The Coronado Project provided a rare opportunity to revisit and further explore previously investigated sites, thus generating modifications to some previous interpretations and perceptions.

In Volume 3, a synthesis of the project data, project authors examine architecture and chronology, review ceramics in a regional context, and assess settlement data. They then evaluate each of the project sites according to function, cultural affiliation, and temporal associations. They also determine the effects of resource depletion and environmental degradation upon the Cottonwood Seep community and discuss subsistence and farming strategies. The final chapter summarizes the project results and evaluates the application of the research design in attempting to address each goal.
