AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The Hohokam trajectory exhibits cultural continuity for over a millennium as Hohokam societies attained a high level of complexity for the prehistoric Southwest. A degree of continuity marks some elements through which we study power relations, but other elements changed in the dynamic processes that culminated in Classic period (post-A.D. 1150) expressions of leadership and territoriality. Specifically, the evidence for the dual development of kinship organization and 'civic-territorial' institutions is examined (p. 373).
