Summary
This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Research by PaleoWest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
AZ U:9:173(ASM)/Crismon ruin is a Hohokam village occupied from the Preclassic to the Classic periods and located near the headwaters of Lehi prehistoric canal system and on a fertile terrace above the Salt River Basin, today in the City of Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. The site is known since the 1920s and has been investigated on several occasions, mostly associated with the development of State Route 202/the Loop 202 around greater Phoenix. Multiple chronological components and a possible hiatus have been identified at the site, indicating both a complex occupational sequence and persistence in the use of the area by Hohokam communities. Additionally, AZ U:9:173(ASM)/Crismon ruin does not seem to have experienced food supply limitations while most communities at the scale of the Phoenix Basin have experienced issues in their resource procurement strategies at some point. In this poster, we summarize previous and recent research conducted at the site, focusing on two main themes: the changes in settlement patterns over time and the subsistence strategies developed in the area.
