Notes: Anthropological Papers No. 16.  Volume 1: Project background and site descriptions. Volume 2:  Scientific studies and interpretations.  The Schuk Toak district is on the Tohono O’odham Reservation to the west of Tucson.  The tribe was planning a new farm in the area.  “Some of the archaeological sites were once occupied by the Hohokam, an agricultural people who lived in much of southern Arizona between A.D. 450 and 1450.  Other sites that were utilized between 1450 and 1700 were apparently some of the earliest locations known to be affiliated with O’odham culture, which occupied most of southern Arizona and much of northern Sonora, Mexico, when Europeans first began settling in the area.”  (From the Preface) Excavations were conducted between 1990-1993, and included tribal members as supervising archaeologists.  VERY RARE.  No other sets available for sale.  SOLD AS A SET ONLY.   A single copy of Volume 1 is also available.  See https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/arch-studies-of-the-avra-valley-az-excavations-in-the-schuk-2/
