Notes: Anthropological Papers 3.   Road construction leads to the discovery of “30 pithouses, 25 extramural features, and one canal” (from the Introduction).  The Valencia Site is “…the only site in the Tucson Basin to yield remains from all three major cultural and temporal periods: PaleoIndian, Archaic, and Hohokam…The Valencia Site probably was an important Hohokam village from A.D. 450 to 1150, after which it was abandoned.” (ibid.)
