Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The SunZia transmission line traverses 550 miles in Southeast Arizona and Southwest New Mexico, crossing through the Hohokam and Mogollon archaeological culture areas. Recently completed survey of more than 50,000 acres provides unique information on landscape-scale interactions and facilitates interregional comparisons of artifact, feature, and site densities in and between the Hohokam, Sobaipuri, San Simon Mogollon, Mimbres, and Piro cultures, complementing traditional emphasis on excavation of dense, core-area settlements.
