Prehistoric Adaptation, Identity, and Interaction Along the Northern Gulf of California
Archaeological investigations have been conducted along the northern coast of Sonora, Mexico where over 60 prehistoric middens have been identified around Bahía Adair and the town of Puerto Peñasco. The middens include low densities of pottery, chipped and ground stone tools, and some shell tools and ornaments, as well as molluscs, fish bones, crab claws, sea turtle bones, terrestrial animal bones, and charred plant remains. Radiocarbon dates ind…
C and Marine Reservoir Effect in Archaeological Samples from the Northeast Gulf of California
Previous studies of live-collected pre-weapons testing mollusk shells in the northern Gulf of California have demonstrated that the local radiocarbon reservoir effect (ΔR) is large and highly variable. To test the validity of this observation for paired charcoal and shell samples from archaeological contexts, we dated samples from four shell midden locations and six midden layers from the eastern shoreline of the Gulf of California near Puerto Pe…
Coastal Adaptations During the Archaic Period in the Northern Sea of Cortez, Mexico
This article integrates geological, biological, ethnographic, and archaeological lines of evidence to reconstruct fishing patterns between approximately 4100 and 500 BC in the northern Gulf of California. In addition to shell collecting along the coast, several species of fish were captured, mainly endemic sciaenids of the upper gulf. Our study focuses on the northern Sonoran coast where recent archaeological studies have discovered scores of oto…
Archaic Period Shell Middens, Sea-Level Fluctuation, and Seasonality
Five recent radiocarbon assays on wood charcoal within archaeological sites from the Puerto Peñasco area, Sonora, Mexico indicate use of the marine resources of the northern Gulf of California area during the Middle Archaic through the Late Archaic periods, ca. 3800 B.C.-A.D. 100. The archaeological shell middens of the region are generally thought of as remains associated with Ceramic period Hohokam marine shell collecting forays with there bein…
Observations on the Archaeology, Paleoenvironment, and Geomorphology of the Puerto Peñasco Area of Northern Sonora, Mexico
Recent observations and archival research on the archaeology of the Puerto Peñasco area at the northern end of the Gulf of California, Sonora, Mexico, have provided additional insights into the prehistory of the region. The northern Gulf of California has long been recognized as the source of raw marine shell used in the production of shell ornaments by the Hohokam of southern and central Arizona. The most obvious archaeological manifestations in…
A Newly Discovered Clovis Point From the Phoenix Basin and an Update on Arizona Clovis Point Attributes
The recent discovery of a complete Clovis point in the northwest portion of the Phoenix Basin adds to the small sample of reported Paleoindian points from central Arizona. This paper describes the location, context, and attributes of the point. The newly discovered point is then compared to other Clovis points from Arizona to shed light on behavioral patterns among these early hunter-gatherers. Findings discussed in this paper suggest clustering …
Hohokam Shell Middens along the Sea of Cortez, Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico
Hohokam Shell Middens along the Sea of Cortez, Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico
One of the important trade and ornamental items for the prehistoric Hohokam of southern Arizona was marine shell, which was obtained from the shores along the Sea of Cortez. A reconnaissance survey near the modern town of Puerto Peñasco in Sonora, Mexico resulted in the discovery of dozens of prehistoric shell middens that are probably the result of forays by the Hohokam, Patayan, and other groups to gather shell for transport back to their homel…
The Social and Economic Contexts of Lithic Procurement
The social and economic organization of obsidian procurement has been a topic of particular interest in southwestern archaeology as a result of recent work identifying and characterizing a number of sources throughout Arizona, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. Recent studies have attempted to explain temporal and spatial variability of obsidian distribution in the larger contexts of regional exchange networks, socially bounded territories, and eli…
Classic Period Hohokam Obsidian Studies in Southern Arizona
During the last decade a number of obsidian studies have been conducted on Classic-periodHohokam artifacts from sites in southern Arizona. The geological and cultural settings of this region make it an ideal area for the study of raw material acquisition and distribution networks. The technique of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been used as an inexpensive means to characterize sources and artifacts. This paper discusses the results of …
Archaeomagnetic Dating at Pueblo Grande
Burial Practices and Paleodemographic Reconstructions at Pueblo Grande
Archaeological investigations at the Hohokam site of Pueblo Grande in Phoenix, Arizona, identified a number of individual residential areas as well as over 800 burials dating to the Classic period. The burials were interred in discrete groups, located both within and adjacent to the residential areas. The burial practices and the spatial patterns observed at the individual cemeteries are described. The presence of discrete cemeteries and the spat…
An Investigation of Two Classic Period Hohokam Cemeteries
Two Classic period Hohokam cemeteries are examined for evidence of social ranking. The cemeteries at the Grand Canal Ruins and Casa Buena contained a combined total of 132 inhumation burials. The quantity and diversity of the accompanying grave assemblages are examined in both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Certain artifact classes are separated by demographic groupings. The data suggest that certain individuals and groups within the ceme…
La Lomita Pequeña
Recent excavations at La Lomita Pequeña have provided information about Sedentary period Hohokam subsistence economy and settlement patterns in the Phoenix Basin. This agricultural hamlet, located near the contemporary sites of La Lomita and Pueblo Grande, was established at the end of the Santa Cruz phase and abandoned during the Sacaton phase. Botanical data indicate use of a variety of economic taxa. This paper discusses the nature of the La L…
