Notes: Volume 6 of a 6 volume set.  Museum of Northern Arizona Research Paper 35.  “Despite the markedly different subsistence strategies of the Hohokam populations of the Picacho Mountains area they were clearly well integrated in the Classic period Hohokam regional system and were able to survive in this inhospitable environment longer than in other areas more amenable to large-scale sedentary settlement.  In fact, settlement of the  Picacho Mountains area may have persisted for some time after the collapse of the regional system.”  (From the Abstract)
