Notes:  Anthropological Papers No. 10.  Conference papers.  “While three of the papers addressed the Archaic period and one dealt with historic period remains, the focus of the symposium was clearly on the Hohokam occupation of the Tucson Basin….The Tucson Basin is a particularly good place to begin examining many regional issues in southern Arizona.  Long recognized as a major subarea of the Hohokam, the Tucson Basin has its own distinctive ceramic sequence and history of study.  Unlike the Salt and Gila ‘heartland,’ systematic investigation of past patterns of land use is possible because large segments of all topographic zones are unmodified by modern agriculture and urban development.”  (From the Introduction)
