Abstract
This paper attempts to show how material culture studies can contribute to an understanding of organizational change among the Hohokam. Three dimensions of change are considered here: (1) craft specialization, (2) labor investment, and (3) elaboration of ritual. After an examination of the theoretical and methodological issues that affect the study of each of these topics, relevant data from the Hohokam core area are summarized (pp. 40, 4).
