By: Sayles, E. B. (Edwin Booth).

Abstract

The Chiricahua stage of the Cochise culture was originally synthesized ...by comparing the rich collection of artifacts from the Cave Creek midden ...with the material found in geological context at sites along Whitewater Draw (p. 114). Those sites which are identified with the Chiricahua stage include: (1) arroyo-bank sites with geological context, (2) surface hearths or middens, (3) cave sites, and (4) sites identified as Chiricahua by either archaeological or geological criteria, but not both (p. 117).
