Abstract
James analyzed the faunal remains from Muchas Casas which had the largest collection of faunal remains of the three main Marana community sites. A preliminary study of the other two sites indicates their faunal collections would be similar. James analysis provides evidence for the importance of hunting in Late Sedentary/early Classic Hohokam and that the Hohokam 'supplemented their horticultural diet with a greater amount of wild animal foods than was previously thought.'(page 171).
