Notes: Technical Series No. 38.  This is the first volume where I’ve seen an analysis of soil fertility (tilth).  Archaeological work conducted prior to the realignment of Arizona State Route 64.  “The main components at the sites represent occupations during the A.D. 1100s, although earlier and later components are present at both.  The sites were apparently small farmsteads occupied for the greater part of the year by a farming people who practiced a diversified and balanced subsistence strategy in which collection of pinyon nuts and other wild resources was a significant component.  Occupation was brief, however and not intensive.”  (From the Abstract)
