It shapes and reshapes adaptive response and human ideology over the short and long term. 13 presentĭust in its myriad forms impacts human existence in arid environments but dust is more than an environmental nuisance. The two volumes in Anthropological Papers No. To meet these goals, 6 sites were intensively examined through full-scale excavation, while an extensive data set was gathered from the remaining 21 sites. The mandate of the RCD project, as specified by the Bureau of Reclamation, was to investigate the temporal and developmental sequence of the prehistoric populations within this area. 1325, prior to the large-scale aggregation that occurred during the Gila phase very few Gila Polychrome sherds were recovered from project area sites. The project area was the most intensively inhabited during the Roosevelt phase, when platform mounds, large pueblos, and small masonry compounds were occupied. The Early Ceramic component of the Eagle Ridge site is now the earliest documented ceramic period site in the Tonto Basin, and it provides definitive evidence for an indigenous pre-Hohokam population. 100-600) at Locus B of the Eagle Ridge site through the Roosevelt phase (AD.
Temporal components ranged from the Early Ceramic Horizon (AD. These include two sites with platform mounds (the Meddler Point and Pyramid Point sites), a 100-room masonry pueblo (the Griffin Wash site), smaller masonry compounds (e.g., the Porcupine site), and pithouse hamlets and farmsteads (e.g., the Hedge Apple and Eagle Ridge sites). Sites within the project area exhibited a great range of functional, temporal, and, possibly, cultural diversity. The project was situated within the Tonto National Forest and covered a four-mile continuous area along the north bank of the Salt River. 15 presents the synthesis and conclusions. 14 (three volumes) contains the artifact and environmental analyses and Anthropological Papers No.
13 (these two volumes) contains background information and the site descriptions Anthropological Papers No. 12 is the research design Anthropological Papers No.
The results of the RCD project are presented in four Anthropological Papers of the Center for Desert Archaeology: Anthropological Papers No. This is one of three related data recovery projects undertaken in the Tonto Basin for the Bureau of Reclamation prior to the raising of the Roosevelt Lake dam. The Roosevelt Community Development Study (RCD) involved the testing and excavation of 27 sites in the Lower Tonto Basin of central Arizona.
