Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Recent pedestrian survey in the Oak Creek-Sedona region of Central Arizona executed as part of the Red Rocks Trail Restoration Project has identified a substantial number of Formative period sites belonging to the Southern Sinagua Tradition. Represented are habitation, agricultural, resource procurement, ritual/ceremonial, and special activity sites. Landscape archaeology emphasizes the intrinsic yet often overlooked connection between humans and their environment. Here we examine the interplay between the natural and anthropogenic and how the unique natural environment and terrain of the Oak Creek-Sedona region affected and was thus affected by human behavior.
