Notes: Arizona Archaeologist Number 34.  Conference Papers.  “Northern Periphery” as a bone of contention, never explicitly defined, but seen as the area north of the Hohokam core, “…i.e., north of the Gila and Salt Rivers basin.  For the purpose of this symposium, the Northern Periphery is bounded by the Verde and Hassayampa Rivers, the Phoenix Mountains, and the transition to the upland mesas of central Arizona.”  (From the Preface)  And so, “Hohokam Northern Periphery” as a term is assigned to the dustbin of history, replaced by “the northern edge of the Phoenix Basin.”
