Notes: Cultural Resource Series Monograph No. 7. The study takes place in a 450 square mile section of southern Arizona that is bisected by Aravaipa Creek and Canyon. Five separate aspects of land change: “First, it gives a chronological history of landscape and species changes which have resulted from human occupation and settlement. Second, it offers a chronological history of landscaped and species changes which resulted from natural causes…Third…a chronological history of social and economic development in the Aravaipa area. This focuses on the mineral, soil, water, floral and faunal wealth of the study area, its discovery, abundance, availability, and allocation to trade or home use….Fourth, the report attempts to assess the degree to which outside influences affected the social and economic lives and the production and consumption strategies of Aravaipa’s resource users….Finally, the report discusses the world view and land ethic of Aravaipa residents.” (From the Preface)
