Southwestern Archæology is noted for its precise chronology based on tree-rings. Researchers often assume that archaeological building timbers arrived at their final destination solely through human transport; however, there is evidence that communities along rivers relied on driftwood for some of their wood needs. Wood use by inhabitants of several of the ancient Hopi villages of Homol'ovi, located along the Little Colorado River in northeastern Arizona, is examined using modern flood events as a model. The implications of driftwood for models of wood use in the archaeological record are explored in terms of chronology, species variability, and reconstructing flood events
