AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Large-scale excavations conducted at the Grewe site, the ancestral village to Casa Gande Ruins, resulted in the discovery of over 250 Hohokam pithouses dating to the Preclassic period (A.D. 700-1100). Ceramic and stratigraphic evidence reveals the nature of architectural change at the site. This information is used to derive population estimates for the settlement at different points in time. It is argued that researchers are underestimating the population at large Hohokam villages like Grewe and Snaketown. The implications of this finding for understanding Hohokam population dynamics and social organization are discussed (p. 139).
