Notes: Anthropological Papers No. 29.  The Valencia Vieja site was occupied from approximately 600 B.C. to 1200 A.D.  “This report focuses upon the portion of AZ BB:13:15 (ASM) dating to the Agua Caliente and Tortolita phase – the Valencia Vieja site. The title of this volume suggests a focus on the origins of sedentism. This is a complex topic that has received significant speculation in the archaeological and anthropological literature. Sites that permit a serious consideration of the topic in the desert region of the American Southwest have now been excavated, and Valencia Vieja provides some of the most important pieces to the puzzle.” ( https://www.archaeologysouthwest.org/product/ap29/ )
