AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document

This paper describes the ways in which local tradition, emulation, and migration combined to shape the organization, economy, architecture, and even the ceremonial practices of the prehistoric Tonto Basin. Because 75 percent of the sites investigated by the Roosevelt projects date to the Classic period, this review focuses on the 13th and 14th centuries. A thousand years of pre-Classic occupation is represented by only 25 percent of the data and is discussed more briefly (p. 231).
