Archaeology of the Ak-Chin Indian Community West Side Farms Project: Research Design (Publications in Archaeology Number 9, Volume 1)

摘要

The project studied the cultural resources of the western half of the Ak Chin Community's lands, scheduled for intensive agricultural development using waters from the Central Arizona Project. The volume includes a discussion of the natural and cultural setting of the project, with an emphasis on the Hohokam and historic Papago occupation. The project's problem domains and research questions focus on the physical (geomorphological), biological, and cultural subsystems within the Ak Chin ecosystem.
