A Reevaluation of Hohokam Irrigation Systems in the Lower Salt River Valley, Arizona
For over a century, large-scale irrigation has been a cornerstone of Ancestral O'Odham (Hohokam) archaeological study. Along the lower Salt River, located in the Phoenix Basin, Arizona, a concerted effort has been made to understand Ancestral O'Odham agricultural production by reconstructing the histories of the largest irrigation systems. In this article, I will discuss an updated reconstruction of ancient irrigation along the lower Salt River. …

A d…
