Notes: Roosevelt Monograph Series 6.  Anthropological Field Studies 35.  “We do not know exactly why a village was first established at the site that became Schoolhouse Point Mound, but we do know that it was initially settled by a few families.  By the time it was abandoned, it had become a large village with rooms that may have been residences built on platforms as well as at ground level.  Other rooms, filled with large storage vessels and granaries, probably served as storehouses.  Storage facilities for surplus food existed at many settlements in the Tonto Basin, but the magnitude of storage and the manner in which stored surplus was protected at the Schoolhouse Point Mound was unusual….It is likely that this surplus was allocated to residents and visitors in the context of obligation, which made this place both a residential and integrative site.”  (From Chapter 1)  Schoolhouse Point Mound, U:8:224/13a.  2 volume set, SOLD AS A SET ONLY.
