Notes: Roosevelt Monograph Series 3.  Anthropological Field Studies 32.  “Report on the Livingston Management Group, Pinto Creek Complex”  Part 2 begins at Chapter 17, page 605.  “This report is the first site description volume for the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study, an eight-year archaeological research project in the Tonto Basin of central Arizona that began in April of 1989.” (From the Preface)  Fourteen sites investigated, two platform mounds–the Pinto Point Mound and the Pillar Mound.  “One possibility is that the activities conducted at the platform mound sites were more important than those conducted at the residential compounds and therefore required more special objects and resources.  An alternative possibility is that the leaders of the society lived at the platform mounds and that they controlled access to rare materials.”  (Chapter 35, page 924).  TWO VOLUME SET.  SOLD AS A SET ONLY.  A single copy of Part 1 is also available.  See https://joethebookguy.com/shop/salado/arch-of-the-salado-in-the-livingston-area-of-tonto-basin-pt-1/
