Whiptail Ruin (AZ BB:10:3 [Asm]): A Classic Period Community in the Northeastern Tucson Basin

Angebote / Angebote:

In the 1960s and 1970s, Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society volunteers, University of Arizona students, and Pima College students excavated Whiptail Ruin, a mid- to late A.D. 1200s village in the northeastern Tucson Basin. This volume presents the results of analyses of the notes and artifacts from work at that site. The village may have been home to hunting specialists. Artiodactyl remains were stored in structures in a manner similar to that described for historic O odham hunting practices. Pottery and lithics from the site show that its residents had strong ties to the Tucson area, as well as to migrants from the Mogollon highlands who moved into the San Pedro Valley in the thirteenth century. And, of interest to chronologists of the region, Whiptail Ruin is one of the first sites in the Tucson Basin to be tree-ring dated. In addition to providing scholars with usable data, the research detailed in this volume shows that information mined from old, archived projects can be relevant and important to today s archaeological questions.
