Also '[s]tudies at the Dairy Site (AZ AA:12:285) document subsistence activies from an initial interval of plain and red ware pottery into the early Colonial period.' (page 64). The site is situated on an alluvial fan and documents floodwater farming. Settlement patterns, agriculture, floral and faunal remains and the stratigraphic profile are all discussed.
