Dogs, Deer, or Guanacos
Excavations at the large Hohokam site of Pueblo Grande, one of the most important of the Salt River valley villages of central Arizona, recovered an unusual group of zoomorphic ceramic figurines dated to the Preclassic, between A.D. 950/1000 and 1100/1150. The figures, quadrupeds with raised tails and ears, were found in a Sacaton phase pithouse and are thought to be part of a ceremonial offering or act. This study describes the figures and sugge…

Methodological Issues Concerning Screen Size Recovery Rates and Their Effects on Archaeofaunal Interpretations
Change and continuity in Western Pueblo households during the historic period in the American Southwest
The Western Pueblos in the American Southwest have been subject to over 450 years of historic contact, yet a myth has emerged about their unchanging nature. A detailed examination of historical documents and photographs reveals, instead, where postcontact technological and social influences have occurred, especially with regard to pueblo households, use of space, increases in room sizes, dwelling construction, kivas, and agricultural processing a…
Monitoring Archaeofaunal Changes During the Transition to Agriculture in the American Southwest
A model for evaluating prehistoric subsistence stress and species diversity using data from faunal assemblages is developed in order to examine the transition from hunter-gatherer adaptations to agriculture in the Southwest. Most archaeofaunas from this transitional period are found to be inadequately analyzed with the exception of Ventana Cave, which follows some predictions of the model. Comparisons are made between these data and later archaeo…
