Abstract
This is a study of Snaketown chronology, based on the stratigraphic analysis of the contents of the numerous trash mounds at the site. Determination of the period-phase sequence at Snaketown was done primarily through the stratigraphic study of the position of pottery in the rubbish heaps which acted as the primary diagnostic of the chronological phases. This information, used in conjunction with changes that took place in architecture, stone, shell, figurines, etc., rounded out and completed the list of phase components..
