AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Fish et al. discuss late Archaic and Early Ceramic sites in the Tucson basin. Early sedentism and agriculture occur together about 1000 years before the appearance of pottery. They discuss how and why people may have first settled into more permanent communities. They also discuss where the first settlements have been found. Only the data that pertain to the Hohokam were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes.
