Thermal Maxima and Episodic Occupation of the Picacho Reservoir Dune Field
This chapter explores an hypothesized linkage between the episodic occupation of the Picacho Reservoir dune field and changes in the global thermal regime. It proposes that some ill-behaved fluctuations in the output of solar radiation during the past 5000 years created global thermal maxima which may have affected the habitability of a small, relatively unproductive patch of the Sonoran Desert for Archaic hunter-gatherers and later horticultural…

The Bushman Maxillary Canine of the Chewa Tribe in East-Central Africa
The expression of the Bushman Canine dental trait among the Chewa tribe of East-Central Africa is described and compared with that of other African populations. Dental hard stone casts were obtained from 82 males and 76 females, and the trait was scored using the Arizona State University dental plaque system. No significant sexual dimorphism in the occurrence of the trait was found according to the chi-square test. The frequency of the Bushman Ca…
Changes in Groundstone Following the Introduction of Maize into the American Southwest
Distinctive wear patterns occurred on one-hand manos found in Middle Archaic levels of Ventana Cave, Arizona (Haury 1950). This wear was attributed to the Cochise culture practice of giving a side-to-side rocking motion to the mano while grinding small, hard native seeds. The same pattern was recently found in two Middle Archaic Arizona groups (Bayham, Morris, and Shackley 1986) and is explained alternately by simple forearm mechanics. Haury furt…
Morphological and metrical comparison of San and Central Sotho dentitions from southern Africa
Comparative morphological and metrical study of San and Central Sotho dentitions indicates that the teeth of the two samples are significantly different from one another. The San dental complex contains traits that add mass to the occlusal surface of microdontic dentitions: moderate low‐grade UI1 (13.5%) and UI2 shoveling (24.7), high Bushman canine (43.1%), fairly low UM2 hypocone reduction (23.3%), high UM2 cusp 5 (55.6%), high LM1 cusp 7 (35.2…
Three-dimensional measurement of the occlusal surface the upper first molar in South African samples
Three-dimensional measurement of the occlusal table of the upper first maxillary molar in three racial populations in South Africa was carried out with the use of moire contourography. Three populations were San Bushman, Central Sotho Bantu (Negroid) and Asiatic Indian (Caucasian). Their dental casts had been collected in 1968-1969 in Botswana and Lenasia by Nuffield Foundation and are now housed in Arizona State University. A moire photograph of…
Comparative study of the upper molar occlusal table morphology among seven human populations
Three‐dimensional morphology of the occlusal table of the upper first molars was compared in seven racial populations. Materials were moiré contourograms collected by ourselves over 5 years. Intercuspal distances and cuspal heights were comparatively studied in this analysis. When the populations were arranged in the order of these sizes, their arrangements based on intercuspal distances and cuspal heights were quite different from each other. Wh…
Maxillary molar occlusal polygons in five human samples
Angular and linear measurements of maxillary first molar occiusal polygons are given foryoung San (Bushmen), Sotho, Asiatic Indians, Whites, and Papago Indians. Angularand linear measurements are inseparably related. Much greater variation occursin widths than in lengths. Maximum variation occurs between San and Papago. Papago maxillary first molars are separable from Old World molar samples in two of four angles and eight of 13 indices

Maxillary first premolar angular differences between North American Indians and non‐North American Indians
A quantitative technique for obtaining angular data on human maxillary first premolar teeth is presented. Measurement indicates that North American Indian buccal cusps are either buccolingually compressed mesially, or expanded distally, or both, when compared with non‐Indian teeth. Surprisingly, data on Chinese and Eskimo samples are similar to non‐Indian teeth rather than Indian teeth. Similar techniques may be applied to the more complex multic…

An Unusual Classic Period Burial from Las Colinas, Salt River Valley, Central Arizona
In April 1961, a contractor's excavation turned up the burial of a partially cremated male near mound 4 of the Classic period Las Colinas site in the Salt River Valley, central Arizona. Grave goods included an incised bone wand, a stone pipe, a small 3/4-grooved axe, and unworked Glycymeris sea shells
On deflecting wrinkles and the Dryopithecus pattern in human mandibular molars
The utility of the traditional Dryopithecus pattern observations on mandibular molars in hominid dental analysis has been challenged recently from several points of view. Both fossil and contemporary evidence suggest the independence of cusp number and groove pattern on mandibular molars and the quality of dentitions which are normally available for study make it difficult to determine both aspects of pattern (cusp number, groove pattern) equally…
Physical Anthropology
Walnut Creek Village
Student members of the Arizona State University Walnut Creek Archaeological Field Camp excavated six pit houses and located several more at Walnut Creek Village, located 10 mi. southeast of Young, Arizona, during the summer of 1967. Three of the pit houses were Hohokam and three were Anasazi; one of the latter was a subcircular kiva with sipapu-resonator complex of distinctive western Pueblo style. The occurrence, during the ninth century, of the…
Red Mountain
Test excavations made in the spring of 1964 along the Salt River near Mesa, Arizona, by personnel from the Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University, provide new data on the earliest Hohokam. The Red Mountain site produced inhumations, a burial cairn, a different grinding-tool complex, and other items previously unknown in early Hohokam associations. Since only Vahki Plain and Vahki Red pottery are present, the site might be designated…
Morphological analysis and age in the permanent dentitions of young American Indians
Approximately two hundred permanent dentitions of young American Indians are inspected in an attempt to assess the effect of proband age on the relative usefulness of the dentition for morphological analysis. The technique used is to compare the number of observations that cannot be made on a dentition of a certain age with the number that could be made on a dentition in perfect condition. This is done for one‐year age groups, 13 through 21 years…
Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of South Central Arizona
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) is a federal project being implemented to transport Colorado River water to large segments of central and southern Arizona. The project requires an extensive amount of construction of aqueducts, pumping stations, and canals. This report is the result of archaeological investigations along one portion of the aqueducts, the Tucson Aqueduct. This aqueduct alignment will bring water to the Picacho Reservoir region of…
