Abstract
Located on the southwestern edge of the Hohokam region, prehistoric villages along the lower Gila River near Gila Bend reflect both similarities and differences when compared to those in the Phoenix Basin. Using archival, survey, and limited excavation data, an outline of the settlement history of the Gila Bend area is presented. Regional site distributions and patterns of village organization are outlined with emphasis on sites containing public architecture. Evidence for Early Formative villages is limited. Gila Bend may have been a mini-core in the Late Formative period, but was peripheral to events of the Classic period in the Phoenix Basin (p. 101).
