marana community in the hohokam world • (56) • Published In 1992 • Pages: 41-52

Abstract
Fish et al. consulted with two traditional Sonoron desert farmers to gain a better understanding of how the different zones may have been farmed. They describe the environment, soil, and climate especially as it relates to how the land may have been used. They conclude that ethnographic analogy is insufficient to understand all the kinds of agricultural practices the Hohokam engaged in and that 'there are no descriptions of agricultural patterns similar to those in upper and middle bajada zones.' (page 51).
