Abstract
Three different settlement strategies are described for the Payson and Tonto basins of central Arizona. Processes are identified that may have led to the use of multiple organizational strategies within the same region. In the Classic period, Tonto Basin was occupied by competing communities marked by differing levels of social complexity and differing mixes of organizational and architectural traditions. The aurhors' approach in this article is to study interregional interaction, and contrast these findings with previous debates on Tonto Basin archaeology that have phrased the issues in terms of culture area units (p. 317).
