Abstract
This paper attempts to reconstruct Cochise culture in terms of four sequential stages -- Sulphur Spring, Cazador, Chiricahua, and San Pedro -- based on the analysis of approximately 4,000 stone artifacts from more than 100 sites in the southern part of the Southwest. These artifacts, primarily tools and projectile points, were classified in terms of material, size, shape, method of manufacture, wear and other evidence of use, and frequency. Forty types were established on the basis of the clustering of similarities, for example, grinding tools, chipped stone tools, scrapers, and projectile points etc.`
