Notes: Pueblo Grande, in the middle of Phoenix, was occupied from approximately A.D. 450 to between 1450-1540.  This is a tourist (i.e. non-archaeologist) publication, nicely illustrated but written for the non-specialist.  It has to talk about everything–history, culture, farming, the desert, the people, artifacts–in a way everyone can understand.
