Notes: Anthropological Papers No. 11.  This volume begins at Chapter 11.  “The long temporal span of the project area sites, running from the Gila Butte phase (AD. 750-850) through the early Classic period Roosevelt phase (AD. 1150-1300) (and with the inclusion of Rye Creek Ruin, into the late Classic period Gila phase), allowed for diachronic modeling of prehistoric settlement and subsistence systems within the Upper Tonto Basin (Chapters 4 and 28). Most significantly, the data strongly suggest that the Upper Basin was occupied by an indigenous population who interacted with neighboring populations while
remaining culturally discrete.” (From the Abstract) A three volume set is also available, as well as a single copy of Volume 3  (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/the-rye-creek-project-archaeology-in-the-upper-tonto-basin-volume-3-synthesis-and-conclusions/ ).
