The Transition to History in Pimería Alta
This chapter presents examination of the archaeological data for the terminal portion of the Hohokam sequence briefly reviews the chronology of the Classic period and focuses on settlement distribution and regional interaction during late Classic times. Comparison of regional systems then yields some intriguing hypotheses regarding both stability and change over the time period from A.D. 1300 to 1700. Temporal resolution for the late Classic peri…
Hope in Dirt: Report of the Fort Apache Workshop on Forensic Sedimentology Applications to Cultural Property Crime, 15-19 October 2018
A 2018 workshop on the White Mountain Apache Tribe lands in Arizona examined ways to enhance investigations into cultural property crime (CPC) through applications of rapidly evolving methods from archaeological science. CPC (also looting, graverobbing) refers to unauthorized damage, removal, or trafficking in materials possessing blends of communal, aesthetic, and scientific values. The Fort Apache workshop integrated four generally partitioned …
The Role of Future Discounting in Subsistence Decisions: The Case of Hohokam Agave Bajada Cultivation
This article demonstrates the relevance of future discounting behavior to studies of prehistoric subsistence strategies. The case study of Agave spp. bajada cultivation among the Classic Period, a.d. 1150–1450, Hohokam of southern Arizona illustrates how slight discounting of future rewards can significantly alter agriculture investment strategies. Despite a higher kcal/hour return than maize agriculture, agave cultivation lessened or ceased in s…
Fostering Collaborative Synthetic Research in Archaeology
While our fascination with understanding the past is sufficient to warrant an increased focus on synthesis, solutions to important problems facing modern society require understandings based on data that only archaeology can provide. Yet, even as we use public monies to collect ever-greater amounts of data, modes of research that can stimulate emergent understandings of human behavior have lagged behind. Consequently, a substantial amount of arch…
Incorporating Archaeological Resources in Landscape-Level Planning and Management
The increasing importance of landscape-scale research and preservation goals within the archaeological profession coincides with expanded threats to the archaeological record through massive energy exploration and infrastructure projects and through the cumulative effects of smaller-scale development. It is further stimulated by the recognition that conservation strategies that span multiple resource classes and disciplines are best formulated at…
One Hundred Years of Southwest Nonprofits
Nonprofit organizations have a major role in the history of Southwestern archaeology. We consider a continuum of nonprofit organizations, from those with endowments, sizable professional staffs, and annual budgets in the millions of dollars to volunteer run nonprofits with small budgets and tightly focused missions. A diversity of organizations populate this continuum, and they range from more than one hundred years old to barely a decade. The ro…
Cultural Resources Priority Area Planning in Sub-Mogollon Arizona and New Mexico
Regional planning is an essential element of comprehensive archaeological management programs. Most regional planning efforts in archaeology focus on predictive modeling to distinguish areas based on the likelihood of encountering archaeological resources. We discuss a complementary approach that uses known sites and expert opinion to identify spatially explicit cultural resource preservation priorities. Loosely analogous to biodiversity conserva…
Hohokam Origins
The corpus of 350 radiocarbon and archaeomagnetic dates available for Pioneer and Colonial period contexts in southern Arizona is rigorously evaluated for its relevance to chronology building, resulting in the identification of 31 dates that may be unequivocally applied. Taken with other pertinent data, a new chronology is presented for the Hohokam sequence. The implications of this chronology, which is notably shortened for the post- Vahki phase…

Prehistoric Demography in the Southwest: Migration, Coalescence, and Hohokam Population Decline
One of the most prominent but least understood demographic phenomena in the precontact Southwest is the disappearance of the Hohokam from the valleys of southern Arizona. Despite extensive research, no widely accepted explanation has been offered. We argue that the failure to identify a satisfactory cause is due to excessive focus on catastrophic phenomena and terminal occupations, and a lack of attention to gradual demographic processes. Based o…
Chapter 11. Anthropology Is Essential to Private Sector Archaeology
The Tucson Basin During the Protohistoric Period
There is a notable lack of detailed information regarding the Proto-historic period, a.d. 1450-1700, in the Tucson Basin. This paper briefly reviews early documentary sources and the available archaeological information from the Tucson Basin. The major focus is on documents from the decade 1692-1702 during the Kino period. Subsistence practices, settlement patterns, population, and warfare are the principal topics addressed. It is concluded that …
