The Reeve Ruin of Southeastern Arizona

Author(s): Charles C. Di Peso

Year: 1958

Summary

Archaeologists interested in the prehistory of the Gila-Salt drainage of southern Arizona proposed that a group of Pueblo people termed the Salado, moved into the desert area of northern Pimeria Alta sometime during the Classic Period of the Hohokam historical continuum. Although this hypothesis has become a tradition, certain researchers have, on occasion, questioned its validity. The Amerind Foundation, Inc., after working for a number of years in historic contact sites in Pimeria Alta, turned its attention to this problem.

The primary objective of this phase of the investigation was to define the Ootam material culture complex of this period as it probably occurred in the San Pedro valley and to ascertain whether or not Pueblo people actually entered Pimeria Alta at this time and if so, what effect they had on the indigenous culture.
