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