AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Archaeologists see the pattern of houses arranged around an open space or courtyard as representing extended family households. These courtyard groups are considered to be the primary social unit in Hohokam society. Some of these courtyard groups were occupied for several hundred years, indicating property rights that lasted generations. These households probably also owned rights to fields with field houses and garden plots along canal systems.
