Hohokam Settlement and Agriculture along the New River

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Recent Archaeological Research by PaleoWest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster presents the results of three recent PaleoWest data recovery projects at small habitation sites and agricultural areas surrounding AZ T:7:68(ASM)/Palo Verde Ruin, one of the primary northern-periphery Hohokam sites along the New River. Previous work at the Palo Verde site had demonstrated a pattern of multiple small sites during the Colonial and early Sedentary period, consolidation into a single large settlement during the Middle Sedentary period, and abandonment of the site during the Late Sedentary period. The current work at sites in the surrounding area has confirms this general pattern, adding to our understanding of the scale, specialization, and timing of Hohokam settlement along the northern Phoenix periphery.
