The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the establishment of the Section 106 process played a central role in advancing Hohokam archaeology and the study of prehistoric irrigation in Arizona. Opening research opportunities, the NHPA allowed for the development of both long term research programs and new techniques and methodological approaches. This led to advances in our understanding of the layout and operation of irrigation systems , the geoarchaeology of irrigation features, the development of techniques for paleohydraulic reconstructions, and the dating of irrigation features. This greater understanding of prehistoric irrigation systems, combined with improved chronological control, resulted in new perspectives on Hohokam sociopolitical organization and agricultural success through time. This paper examines the development of Hohokam irrigation studies in the primary agricultural areas, the Salt and Gila river valleys.

Recent Research On Tucson Basin Prehistory: Proceedings of the Second Tucson Basin Conference, 1988

Recently I came across a reference to a paper I gave at the 1986 Second Tucson Basin Conference. My first thought was, "That one was pretty good, I wish I had written it up". I vaguely remember showing a lot of slides of crop - wild relatives in the Arizona - Sonoran Borderlands and talking about levels of Human - Plant Interactions. Turns out I did write it up. In many ways this is a mid-career summary paper, talking about things I had been thinking about up to that point that I still use in my approach to archaeological plant remains.

of designs, but without regard to type, site, or chronology; for example, all sherds bearing squiggly hatch, or ticked lines or pendent triangles were put into separate piles and then counted. Then she re-sorted the same sherds by site, by type, and by chronology and then separated these groups into lots bearing similar or identical elements of design. These were counted, percentages derived, and graphs drawn. Thus the study was "quantified." Miss Cronin's report is included in this volume.

The prehistoric archeology of Southeast Texas has been summarized and reviewed by numerous authors in the recent past. General syntheses include the work of Aten (1983,1984), Patterson (1979,1983), and Story (1981,1990). Many publications have resulted from avocational and professional efforts within the region, yet a definitive synthesis of the inland Southeast Texas area has yet to be published. The present comments focus on the methods used in chronology building in Southeast Texas as well as presentation of a revised projectile point sequence for that region.

I have listed these public-spirited gentlemen separately so that their names will stand forth prominently and everyone will recognize their contribution to archaeological research. I hope more will follow their example. It is a pleasure to record here the thanks of the Museum and of the members of the expedition and to state that our goals have been greatly advanced by their unselfish help. W'e were permitted to dig without hindrance and to l:)ring back to the Museum, for research and exhibition purposes, all of the specimens recovered. Many thousands of people will benefit directly and indirectly from this arrangement and will derive educational and cultural stimulation as well as satisfaction of a common curiosity about man's past.

Excavations at the large Hohokam ballcourt settlement of Los Morteros, AZ AA:12:57 (ASM), in 1987 and 1988 resulted in the identification of 770 prehistoric cultural features, including 349 structures, an adobe-walled compound enclosure, and at least five discrete cemeteries in the northern and southern portions of the kilometer-long site. Ninety-eight of the structures were fully or partially excavated. Also identified were a historic canal and evidence pointing to the location of the historic Point of the Mountains stage station, the Francisco Ruelas homestead, and a small Yaqui settlement dating to the 1920s. Research focused on the delineation of prehistoric settlement structure over time. The occupation was found to date from the Rillito, Rincon, and Tanque Verde phases of the Tucson Basin sequence.
