The Stratigraphy and Chronology of Point of Pines Pueblo
Point of Pines Pueblo has long been central to discussions about ancient migrations and interactions between locals and immigrants in the U.S. Southwest. However, a lack of systematic analyses of collections from the site and a dearth of published data about them have left generations of researchers in the position of having to make assumptions about social processes that unfolded in the Point of Pines region. Here, we present the results of new …

Jeddito Yellow Ware, Migration, and the Kayenta Diaspora
In this paper, I explore the significance of Jeddito Yellow Ware found outside its production zone, the Hopi Mesas region. Using theory and method for identifying traces of migration, I evaluate case studies in which Jeddito Yellow Ware has played a role in inferences of population movement. Jeddito Yellow Ware is rare at or absent from the sites in southern Arizona that have yielded the most compelling evidence of immigrants from northern Arizon…

Perforated Plates and the Salado Phenomenon
Perforated ceramic plates have intrigued southwestern archaeologists since the late 1800s, when they were first encountered at the Classic period platform-mound sites of the Phoenix Basin and the protohistoric villages of the Hopi Mesas. Residues, contextual clues, and usewear suggest that perforated plates were used as base-molds in pottery making, and/or as potters’ turntables. Updated information regarding the function, dating, and distributio…
Cliff Polychrome
Gila Polychrome is the key ceramic type used to identify deposits and to date events and processes associated with the late Classic period in southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and adjacent areas. Because Gila Polychrome was a long-lived type, however, made circa A.D. 1300–1450, it has proven very difficult to track change through time during the late Classic period. Previous researchers have identified temporally sensitive characteristic…
José Solas Ruin
José Solas Ruin was investigated in 1951 by Charles C. Di Peso of the Amerind Foundation. Di Peso identified the site as the Protohistoric period Sobaipuri (Piman) settlement of San Salvador de Baicatcan, thereby, he argued, closing “the gap” between the archaeological and historical records in southeastern Arizona. Critics have long maintained that Di Peso’s dating of the site is erroneous. Recent research has revealed that the component excavat…
Prehistoric Demography in the Southwest
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…
