Abstract

Swartz and Lindeman describe the findings from the archaeological work at the Stone Pipe site. Structures and other features such as storage pits were found there along with several structures that may have been used for communal activities; this indicates some community-level integration above the household level. Differences between the community layouts of the Cienega phase and the Agua Calienta phase can be discerned. During the Cienega phase structures were clustered tother with extramural pits between them and the large communal centrally located. The communal structure seems to have been at the edge of the Agual Calients phase community and the dwellings more widely spaced. Subsistence activities at the site include agriculture, and gathering, hunting, and fishing. The site was inhabited at during the Cienega phase, the Agua Caliente phase, and the Hohokam - 1000 BP-900 BP (AD 1000-AD 1100) for the Hohokam. Data ascribed to the Hohokam were not marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes.
