An Examination of the Archaeology of Northwestern Mexico and Southern Arizona and New Mexico
Author(s): James C. Gifford
Year: 1957
Summary
This report provides an examination of the archaeology of northwestern Mexico, southern Arizona, and New Mexico and an exploration of the relationship between the areas to each other. In order to consider the archaeology of southern Arizona and New Mexico and that of northwestern Mexico, the extensive geographical area has been delimited into two major subareas. These areas have been termed the Sonoran Subarea and the Sinaloan Subarea. This is approached by consideration of stages suggested by Willey and Phillips (1995); Early Lithic, Archaic, formative, Classic, and Postclassic. Important sites or archaeological groups are discussed using these stages situated under the appropriate subarea and characteristic traits for each area are summarized when possible.
