Hohokam Archaeology Along the Salt-Gila Aqueduct Central Arizona Project. Volume 5. Small Habitation Sites on Queen Creek. Parts 3, 4 and 5

摘要

This volume in the series of Salt-Gila Aqueduct archaeological reports describe the results of excavations at five small habitation sites in the middle Queen Creek drainage of central Arizona. These sites provide evidence of permanent and seasonal occupation of this area for agricultural purposes beginning in the Gila Butte Phase, the earlier portion of the Hohokam Colonial Period. The latest of these sites represents the very early Soho Phase of the Classic Period, with many transitional aspects of the preceding Sacaton Phase still evident. Together these sites furnish significant evidence for the interpretation of interrelated changes in subsistence and organization among the Hohokam in this area.
