AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study focuses on several key issues or areas of debate which the author believes to be particularly relevant for archaeologists working both in southern Arizona and in other regions. These areas involve topics in which significant changes in interpretation have occurred in recent years, such as in the origins of the Hohokam, Mesoamerican connections, bone implements and blood sacrifice, organizational scale and spatial variation, and in the organizational and demographic differences between the historic population of southern Arizona (e.g., the Pima and Papago), and the earlier Hohokam people.
