“During the pre-Classic periods, Dutch Canal Ruin consisted of field house settlements scattered along various main canals. The canals fell into disuse, and the Hohokam abandoned the area as an agricultural zone by the Sedentary period. During the Classic and post-Classic periods, they reoccupied the area and constructed new canals. However, the later farmers replaced the field house settlements with sparsely settled farmsteads and hamlets. By contrast, the Hohokam first occupied Pueblo Salado during the Soho phase, residing in small settlements scattered along Canal Salado. The Civano phase witnessed the construction of a compound and population aggregation. Accretionary growth resulted in one of the largest compounds on record in the Phoenix Basin. Occupation of the compound appears to have extended into the Polvoron phase of the post-Classic period, possibly until A.D. 1500 or 1550, with family units occupying pit houses and perhaps continuing to use preexisting adobe surface structures.  Volume 1 of the series focuses on the testing phase of this project and presents a research design and plan of work for the data recovery phase. Volume 2 presents the results of the field investigations and analyses associated with Dutch Canal Ruin, and Volume 3 those associated with Pueblo Salado. In addition to summarizing the findings of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Center investigations, Volume 4 presents in-depth explorations of selected aspects of the Hohokam occupation at Dutch Canal Ruin and Pueblo Salado in relationship to regional Hohokam settlement and cultural patterns. ”   ( https://core.tdar.org/document/399001/the-sky-harbor-project-early-desert-farming-and-irrigation-settlements-archaeological-investigations-in-the-phoenix-sky-harbor-center-volume-4-special-studies-synthesis-and-conclusions)
