An Analysis of the Fitch Site and its Relationship to the Hohokam Classic Period (1963)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard A. Pailes.

The Ancient Agroecology of Perry Mesa: Integrating Runoff, Nutrients, and Climate (2013)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Melissa Kruse-Peeples.

Understanding agricultural land use requires the integration of natural factors, such as climate and nutrients, as well as human factors, such as agricultural intensification. Employing an agroecological framework, I use the Perry Mesa landscape, located in central Arizona, as a case study to explore the intersection of these factors to investigate prehistoric agriculture from A.D. 1275-1450. Ancient Perry Mesa farmers used a runoff agricultural strategy and constructed extensive alignments,...

An Archaeological Survey of Lassen Volcanic National Park, California (1974)

Previous scholarship has understood the changes in the archaeological record, particularly the introduction of a new type of pottery called Monochrome Ware (MW), as the result of imperial policies intended to...
