Evidence for Large-scale Agave Cultivation in the Marana Community
Evolution and Structure of the Classic Period Marana Community
The Marana Community in the Hohokam World
This account of Classic Period settlement in the Tucson Basin between A.D. 1100 and 1300 is the first comprehensive description of the organization of territory, subsistence, and society in a Hohokam community of an outlying region. Broad recovery of settlement patterns reveals in unique detail the developmental history of the Marana Community and its hierarchical structure about a central site with a platform mound. Remains of diverse agricultur…
The Early Materialization of Democratic Institutions among the Ancestral Muskogean of the American Southeast
Democratic cooperation is a particularly complex type of arrangement that requires attendant institutions to ensure that the problems inherent in collective action do not subvert the public good. It is perhaps due to this complexity that historians, political scientists, and others generally associate the birth of democracy with the emergence of so-called states and center it geographically in the 'West,' where it then diffused to the rest of the…
Sedentism and Settlement Mobility in the Tucson Basin Prior to A.D. 1000
Assessments of mobility versus sedentism for archaeological cultures necessarily take the form of arguments. Although there are a number of more or less consensually recognized attributes which tend to be considered, there are no unequivocal classes of evidence of sedentism or mobility. Both redundancy and diversity in resources contribute to the probability of preagricultural sedentism in the Tucson Basin. The few additional taxa on low uplands …

Trincheras Sites in Time, Space, and Society
Plants
Beginning 4,000 or more years ago in the U.S. Southwest and Mexican Northwest, the most varied and sustained interactions between regional inhabitants and the plants of their environments took place within the context of agricultural economies. Even though a recurrent paradigm portrays the Southwest/Northwest as harsh and agriculturally marginal, the region is rich in the archaeological legacy of Indigenous cultivators who produced harvests over …
Mesoamerican Connections
This chapter reviews the evidence for Mesoamerican presence or influence in the U.S. Southwest. Objects, symbols, and practices of apparent Mesoamerican origin, especially in the Hohokam region, include copper bells, macaws, shell trumpets, and other similar objects. The explanations that archaeologists have proposed for such presence come down to agricultural displacement, trade, and coercive domination. The review shows that Mesoamerican connec…
Key Issues and Topics in the Archaeology of the American Southwest and Northwestern Mexico
We review some of the most significant research trends as well as emerging issues in the archaeology of the American Southwest and Northwest Mexico. Among the many topics being studied that we could discuss, we have chosen to focus on engaged archaeology, “big data”, the research potential of museum collections, agriculture, social organization, regional connectivity, and culture history
Refining the Role Ofcerros De Trincherasin Southern Arizona Settlement
Cerros de trincheras in northern Sonora and southern Arizona have traditionally been interpreted as short-term, defensive refuges. This paper reviews recent evidence concerning the functions of such sites by focusing on survey, mapping, and excavation results gained over the past 12 years at several Tucson Basin cerros de trincheras. This evidence suggests that the Tucson Basin sites, and probably other cerros de trincheras as well, were not used…

Prehistory and early history of the Malpai Borderlands
Prehispanic and early historic archaeological information for the Malpai Borderlands of southwest New Mexico and southeast Arizona is reviewed using data derived from field reconnaissance, discussion with relevant scholars, archival resources from varied agencies and institutions, and published literature. Previous regional research has focused on late prehistory (A.D. 1200 to 1450), shaping the scope of cultural historical overview and providing…
Plausible Ethnographic Analogies for the Social Organization of Hohokam Canal Irrigation
This paper presents the results of a juxtaposition of archaeological findings on Hohokam irrigation and ethnographic research on the social organization of irrigation. There are no ethnographic or historic records pertaining to the Hohokam, so the comparative ethnographic approach is perhaps more productive than in other situations. Several forms of canal irrigation organization are considered, including politically centralized, acephalous, priva…
The paleoecology and archaeology of long‐term water storage in a Hohokam reservoir, southwestern Arizona, U.S.A
Water storage reservoirs were an important feature of economic organization among ancient societies in the North American Southwest. Analyses of reservoir sediments from a Hohokam archaeological site in the Sonoran Desert yielded taxonomic species of ostracodes (microscopic crustaceans) and pollen grains that are indicative of a past water‐rich environment. The discovery that this reservoir was capable of storing water on a long‐term basis indica…
Incremental events in the construction of sambaquis, southeastern Santa Catarina
A construção de cômoros artificiais (mounds) é um fenômeno de amplo alcance em termos globais. Neste artigo são examinados alguns dos processos responsáveis pela construção destas estruturas no litoral sul de Santa Catarina, tomando-se como referência os trabalhos realizados no sambaqui Jaboticabeira II, município de Jaguaruna. Além da análise dos processos envolvidos na construção daquele sambaqui, procura-se chamar a atenção para os aspectos so…
Investigations at Tor al-Tareeq
The Epipaleolithic site of Tor al-Tareeq (WHS 1065) was discovered in 1982 by Burton MacDonald's Wadi Hasa Survey in west-central Jordan, surface collected and tested in 1984, and partially excavated in 1992. The earliest and best represented occupation is an early Epipaleolithic industry, overlain in places by an ephemeral geometric industry identified by a higher incidence of geometric microliths. Six radiocarbon determinations span the period …

Prehistoric Desert Farmers of the Southwest
Infrastructures are material forms that allow for the possibility of exchange over space. They are the physical networks through which goods, ideas, waste, power, people, and finance are trafficked. In this article I trace the range of anthropological ...Read More

An assessment of abandonment processes in the Hohokam Classic Period of the Tucson Basin
Treatments of abandonment in the archaeological literature of the southwestern United States have commonly focused on adverse conditions precipitating departure from a previously inhabited locale. However, decisions as to the timing and mode of prehistoric abandonments were made in the light of conditions at destinations as well as points of departure, and cannot be fully understood from either partial perspective. The more inclusive process, whi…

Investigations at Milagro, A Late Preceramic Site in the Eastern Tucson Basin
This report presents the results of archaeological excavations undertaken as part of a land exchange between Pima County and Magna Investment and Development, Ltd. A portion of this right-of-way included a prehistoric archaeological site known as Milagro (AZ BB:10:46), parts of which had been investigated previously. Pima County indicated that prior to completion of the land exchange, archaeological investigations must be performed along the rout…

The Archaeology of Regions
Early Sedentary Communities of the Basin of Mexico
Excavations and survey since 1970 have produced data on many aspects of human occupation in the Basin of Mexico between 1200 B.C. and 500 B.C. (un calibrated radiocarbon dates). We attempt here to summarize our current understanding of the communities of that period in the Basin, with respect to chronology, stylistic affinities of their material remains, subsistence patterns, craft production, trade relationships, socio-political aspects, and the…

Early Corn Remains from Tumamoc Hill, Southern Arizona
The tandem accelerator mass spectrometer provided critical dating of corn remains in Archaic levels of juxtaposed Archaic and Hohokam occupations on Tumamoc Hill in Tucson, Arizona. This new radiometric technology confirmed an Archaic placement suggested by stratigraphy and artifact distributions. The small sample of intact remains resembles other directly-dated early corn in the Southwest and reinforces an interpretation of preceramic cultivator…
Surface and Subsurface Evidence for Community Size at Coapexco, Mexico
It has become customary in the Basin of Mexico to derive the population size of prehistoric communities from the density of refuse on the surface of archeological sites. A study of the extensively littered Early Pre classic site of Coapexco leads to reservations concerning this practice. The plotting of all surface refuse over 0.8 ha at Coapexco has suggested that two other factors — elapsed time and the deposition of overburden — account for a s…

WHS 784 X (Yutil al-Hasa)
A collapsed rockshelter site, WHS 784 X (Yutil al-Hasa), in the Wadi Hasa drainage in west-central Jordan was tested in 1984. Technological and typological analyses of the stone artifact assemblages suggest that it pertains to the latest phases of the Levantine Upper Paleolithic ‘Ahmarian Tradition’. Excellent faunal preservation allowed the identification of several ungulate species, as well as other taxa. These data and the topographic setting …

Production and Consumption in the Archaeological Record
Analysis of botanical materials from archaeological sites provides basic data in the form of quantified resource tabulations. Although biases are acknowledged in the formation of this record, it is usually assumed that sufficiently large samples provide insight into representative resources for a provenience. It is a further inferential leap to equate recovered resources with either production or consumption, or with local or extra-local acquisit…
