Abstract
Agricultural technology represents a major arena of interaction between the Hohokam and their Sonoran Desert environment which provided resources and opportunities that figured prominently in the development of the cultural identity of the people. This study discusses the various environmental factors, such as location, climate, water resources, natural flora (as the basis of diet), etc., all of which have contributed to the technology and development of the Hohokam people.
