The Early Agricultural Period in the Sonoran Desert
Over the past two decades, our knowledge of the Early Agricultural period has increased substantially, leading to a better understanding of the processes involved in the transition to maize agriculture, the timing of associated shifts in subsistence and mobility strategies, and the role that this subsistence shift had in cultural change across the region. In this paper, I summarize the major discoveries that have led to our expanding views, and h…

Agent of Change
Ash is an important and yet understudied aspect of ritual deposition in the archaeological record of North America. Ash has been found in a wide variety of contexts across many regions and often it is associated with rare or unusual objects or in contexts that suggest its use in the transition or transformation of houses and ritual features. Drawn from across the U.S. and Mesoamerica, the chapters in this volume explore the use, meanings, and cro…
Ritual Construction, Use and Retirement of Mimbres Three Circle Phase Great Kivas
Three Circle phase great kivas in the Mimbres area of southwest New Mexico have been the subject of new field investigations and reanalysis of data from earlier excavations. The findings have led to an enhanced and more detailed understanding of physical changes in these special buildings during the Three Circle phase, particularly with regard to dating and ritual behaviors associated with construction, use, and formal retirement
Impact of an Organizational Intervention Designed to Improve Snack and Beverage Quality in Ymca After-School Programs
Objectives. We evaluated the quality of snacks and beverages served at YMCA after-school programs before and after the programs' participation in a YMCA Learning Collaborative. Methods. We collected data on the types and brands of snacks and beverages (including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, foods with trans fats, water, and sugar-sweetened beverages) served daily during 3 different time periods spanning 14 months in total, and the c…

New Insights into the Early Agricultural Period in the Tucson Basin
This paper summarizes the results of recent excavations at the Valley Farms site, AZ AA:12:736 (ASM), in the northern portion of the Tucson Basin. These excavations revealed a deeply buried San Pedro phase component with radiocarbon dates ranging from 2700–;3100 B.P. The site contains a pit structure, storage pits, and thermal pits that apparently represent long-term reoccupation of the floodplain. The Early Agricultural period occupants of the s…
Notched Tool Reuse and Raw Material Availability in French Middle Paleolithic Sites
Based on the analysis of assemblages from the French sites of Pech de l'Azé I, La Quina, and Combe-Capelle has, a model of stone-tool resharpening is proposed for Middle Paleolithic notched tools. This model is based on the observation that tools with a larger number of notches have greater mean blank lengths irrespective of their typological designation. This pattern is then used to help investigate the relationship between raw material availabi…
Cortaro Points and the Archaic of Southern Arizona
A new Archaic projectile point style, the Cortaro point, is introduced and described. Its morphology, manufacturing technology and distribution are documented, and it is shown to be a morphologically and technologically consistent point style. Available data indicate that it is limited to southern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Temporal data for the Cortaro point are presented and suggest that it may be of late Middle or Late Archaic age. C…
