Abstract
Kintigh, Howell, and Duff describe their findings from excavations at the Hinkson site, a cluster of masonry room blocks south of the Zuni Indian Reservation. They have conducted a systematic survey of 58 square kilometers and found that contemporaneous occupation clusters within 9 kilometers of the site. The public core at the Hinkson site contains a Great Kiva, a plaza, a Great House built on a mound, Nazha, and roads. Ceramic exchange with neighboring communities favored the Hinkson site indicating that it was the center of a large community. The authors see this community, with its public architecture, as a development of social organization that managed to integrate a large population in the post-Chacoan era.
