Vanishing River. Landscapes and Lives of the Lower Verde Valley--The Lower Verde Valley Archaeological Project
Seven decades ago President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal inaugurated archaeology as a source of employment for those affected by the Great Depression. Since then, explains volume co-editor J. H. Altschul, cultural resource management (CRM) has matured as an industry that involves highly trained archaeologists and specialists in several fields and offers hands-on learning opportunities for students. Today, CRM is a respected and well-funde…
The Houghton Road Site, the Agua Caliente Phase, and the Early Formative Period in the Tucson Basin
Recent excavations at the Houghton Road site (AZ BB: 13: 398) provide new insights into a virtually unknown time in Tucson Basin prehistory. Houses at the site date to what has recently been termed the Plain Ware horizon, the first stage of Formative culture in southern Arizona. This stage is distinguished from the Late Archaic San Pedro stage Cochise by the introduction of ceramic vessel production and the construction of large, formal pit house…
Early Formative Period Chronology for the Tucson Basin
Archaeological discoveries in the past decade necessitate a reevaluation of views about the Early Formative period (A.D. 1–800) in the Tucson Basin. Traditionally, the local cultural pattern during this period was believed to have been affiliated with the Pioneer period of the Gila Basin Hohokam culture. This viewpoint was formed on the basis of a few decorated Pioneer period ceramics that had been found in the Tucson Basin. Similarities in techn…
The Gila Pueblo Survey of the Southeastern Sierra Ancha
The Sierra Ancha is part of a region below the Mogollon Rim that is not well known archaeologically. Despite the lack of knowledge about the area, it has figured as an important component in speculation about cultural events in adjacent areas. Surveys undertaken by Gila Pueblo in 1929 and 1930 provide valuable information about otherwise undocumented remains in the southeastern Sierra Ancha and the middle Cherry Creek drainage. Despite its limita…
A Typology of Room Function at Grasshopper Pueblo, Arizona
Previous studies of pueblo room function have been limited in their analytic capability by dependence on a specific ethnographic model that emphasizes the architectural characteristics of rooms in interpreting room function. This paper discusses the limitations of this method and presents an alternative approach that shifts the emphasis to the activities that take place in rooms and the implements and materials used in those activities as the def…
Change in Household Size at Grasshopper
Changes through time in the size of cooking hearths are observed at Grasshopper. Using the construct of the domestic group, these changes are interpreted to indicate a decrease in the size of the household through time. Suggestions are made for testing this trend through the analysis of other domestic facilities and implements. The decrease in household size appears to depart from the ideal pattern of the developmental cycle. Hypotheses seeking t…
