Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Logan Simpson recently mitigated multiple prehistoric sites along the Middle Gila River in Arizona for the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Florence Flood Retarding Structure Rehabilitation project. One site, AZ U:15:836(ASM), is a small Hohokam farmstead within the Grewe-Casa Grande canal system. Recent investigations at the site identified evidence for specialized subsistence behavior focused on hunting. We use the results of flaked-stone, faunal bone, and geographical analyses to argue that the occupants of AZ U:15:836(ASM) focused on hunting. We then contrast those results with evidence from other sites and time periods along the Grewe-Casa Grande canal system.
