Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
To date, much of the archaeological research in the Phoenix Basin has focused on the central Phoenix area, and specifically the areas surrounding Canal Systems 1 and 2. Recent cultural resource management testing and excavation projects in the west Phoenix area have provided new insights into Hohokam daily life at the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers. This area was densely populated with evidence for agriculture and craft production that differs from well-studied patterns observed in the central Phoenix area. CRM projects in this area focused on household archaeological contexts, including the production and use of groundstone tools. In this poster we present results of groundstone analysis from the Preclassic Hohokam village sites of AZ T:11:39(ASM)/Cashion and AZ T:12:9(ASM)/Villa Buena in the western portion of the Phoenix Basin. We also examine groundstone tools from AZ U:9:67(ASM)/La Lomita located within Canal System 2 in the central Phoenix Basin, and use this settlement as a point of comparison.
