Notes: Anthropological Papers No. 11.  This volume begins at Chapter 23.    “These data suggest that the Tonto Basin was occupied initially by an indigenous population that participated in various exchange and interaction networks.  Outside of Roosevelt 9:6…no good evidence currently exists to posit a Hohokam migration during the Colonial period….Given the evidence from Buh Bi Laa and East Fork in the White Mountains it can be suggested that within the Upper Basin at least, we are dealing with a more-or-less coherent cultural area situated in the sub-Mogollon Rim transition zone between the desert and the mountains.” (From the Summary and Discussion)  A three volume set is also available, as well as a single copy of Volume 2 (see https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/the-rye-creek-project-archaeology-in-the-upper-tonto-basin-volume-2-artifact-and-specific-analyses/  ).
