Abstract
Stark et al. try to answer questions about 'about social boundaries and cultural identity' (page 343) in the Tonto basin. In other words they try to determine the cultural affiliation of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Tonto basin. They describe the theories and review the literature concerning cultural identity and ethnicity. They also describe how ethnicity may be identified in the archaeological record. Finally they describe what they see as evidence for social boundaries in the eastern Tonto basin for the different time periods from AD 100-1325.
