Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The Pueblo Farming Project, or PFP, is a collaboration between the Hopi tribe and the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. The Primary goal of the PFP is to investigate traditional Pueblo farming techniques and assess how they could help us understand ancient farming in The Mesa Verde region. The PFP established 5 experimental garden plots. Traditional Hopi farmers helped select field locations, provided seed stock, and supervised plantings and harvesting from 2008 to the present. Crow Canyon staff collected data on maize growth and yields as well as temperature, precipitation and soil moisture. The PFP conducts research, develops educational programs and pursues Hopi interests in preserving traditional farming practices.
