Abstract A Hohokam Sacaton phase (A.D. 950–1100) courtyard group excavated at Kearny along the Gila River in central Arizona (designated AZ V: 13:201[ASM]) consists of seven houses and associated features. Ultimately, however, Hohokam society succumbed to wrenching change, eventually leading to total depopulation of the lower Salt River valley. The Hohokam lived in central and southern Arizona from about AD 1 to 1450. Ballcourts, the primary form of public architecture in the Hohokam pre-Classic, were replaced by platform mounds The Hohokam later built pueblos. Casa Grande means "big house". 2012:991). Fell pointed to the parallels between Pima and Papago and Berber languages. The Salt and Gila Rivers ran year round when the Hohokam built their system of government and katchina-based religion. Some of the canals were 50 feet wide and 16 miles long. There were four or more networks of irrigation canals totaling more than a thousand miles long. The Hohokam people occupied the valley and much of southern Arizona from A.D. 1 to 1450. Download books for free. [1] Developing a chronology for the Hohokam has proven… Investigations at the Grewe site near Casa Grande Ruins provided the basis for Doug’s dissertation and combined many of the innovative intellectual pathways he so successfully pursued. At 95 sites 120 platform mounds have been recorded but these mounds are distributed in a much smaller area than the area that the ball courts of past Hohokam society were distributed throughout. Initially, Hohokam dwellings were “pithouses.” People dug shallow pits and built houses in them. The authors share all these data, along with many insights about key, future research topics, with the hope that others will use them to continue to pursue the empirically rich, holistic, and humanized understanding of Ohio Hopewell peoples begun in this book. was drawn by Larson (1926) and published b y Cum-.

Hohokam (/ h oʊ h oʊ ˈ k ɑː m /) was a society in the North American Southwest in what is now part of Arizona, United States, and Sonora, Mexico.Archeologists recognize Hohokam as a distinct culture, with constituents nominated as Hohokam people.. Burial mounds, probably containing 100s of burials, were looted in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Hohokam irrigation systems supported the largest population in the Southwest by 1300 CE. Archaeologists working at a major archaeological dig in the 1990s in the Tucson Basin, along the Santa Cruz River, identified a culture and people that may have been the ancestors of the Hohokam. The end of the Hohokam regional system (which spread across much of southern Arizona) was followed by more localized intensification, known as the Hohokam Classic (A.D. 11501450) focused in the Phoenix and Tucson basins. At the cultural peak of the Hohokam in the “Classic” period of the A.D. 1100s through 1400s, there were tens of thousands of Hohokam people living in large villages scattered throughout the … | David R. Abbott, Scott E. Ingram and Brent G. Kober | download | BookSC. 1992:37). O'odham water control gate in historic period irrigation canal. The Hohokam, who inhabited the dry Sonoran desert of southern Arizona, were more or less ignored, even though they had by far the most advanced … (Table 1). The entire sample, including 100 red-on-buff vessels and 33 effigy vessels, is from Preclassic cremation burial contexts. The features, material culture, chronology, subsistence, growth sequence, activity structure, group size, and formation and abandonment processes of this courtyard group are discussed. This Hohokam community thrived in the northwest Tucson Basin. And yet, while many Mesolithic sites were short-lived, and were actually avoided after their principal occupation, Star Carr was one of a number of places that was returned to repeatedly The sample features from Horvath and Casa Grande, in contrast, is much smaller and more limited in scope. A sample 2004). They were expert farmers, and engineered over 1000 miles of canals to irrigate fields. HOHOKAM is the name given by archaeologists to a prehistoric culture centered along the Salt, Gila, Verde, and Santa Cruz Rivers in the low, hot Sonoran desert of southern Arizona between approximately 300 b.c. Hohokam social and political organization is the primary focus of this article examined in large part by analogy to the comparable organizations among the Pima and Papago ethnic populations that succeeded the Hohokam in the region. The massive irrigation system allowed people in the Hohokam region to develop settlements that were unlike those in most other areas of the Southwest, especially in the centuries prior to 1300 CE. and 1 A.D. and left around 1200 A.D. The Hohokam represent one of the largest and most complex societies in the Southwest. By the 14th century the Grewe site had become part of the larger Grewe-Casa Grande site, which had unusually elaborate monumental architecture, including two nearly unique multi-storied great houses (one possibly serving as a celestial observatory) along with two mounds of the more common style (Doelle et al., 1995, 394-396). The Hohokam Pima National Monument is an ancient Hohokam village within the Gila River Indian Community, near present-day Sacaton, Arizona.The monument features the archaeological site Snaketown 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Phoenix, Arizona, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Roughly 250 pit houses, 800 pits, 140 burials, and a portion of what have been the largest ballcourt ever built by the Hohokam were investigated at Grewe. Relatively large-scale excavations were carried out between 1930 and 1931, by Van Bergen-Los Angeles Museum Expedition under the direction of Arthur Woodward and Irwin Hayden. This project concentrated on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) parcel at the Grewe Site, and Compound F located within the northeast corner of the Casa Grande National Monument. Backdirt: Annual Review, which began as a newsletter in 1973, is the magazine of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology that highlights the recent news, research and activities of the Cotsen Institute. Mean annual temperatures were ∼12° C and growing season temperatures were ∼13°C warmer than present (1923-2010). The proximity of these households to public areas for ceremonial expression further suggests that access to ritual played a key role in creating and maintaining inequality in Hohokam society. People who resided in the Hohokam (ho-ho-kahm) region were probably among the ancestors of contemporary southern desert populations, such as the O’odham, as well as Pueblo populations and perhaps other populations in northern Mexico.
