This volume describes the archaeological investigations and syntheses of research that William Self Associates, Inc. (WSA), conducted at the Marsh Station Road site, an extensive, multi-component, semi-permanent habitation site with occupations spanning the Early Agricultural period through the Hohokam Classic period and located southeast of Tucson.
Sunset Mesa Ruin lies near the confluence of the Rillito and Santa Cruz Rivers in the northern Tucson Basin. First recorded in the late 1930s by Frank Midvale, the site contains two components: a prehistoric Rincon phase Hohokam settlement dating between A.D. 1000 and 1100 and a historical-period component centered on a three-room adobe dating to the late nineteenth century. Much of the report focuses on Rincon phase settlement and subsistence. The authors use data collected from the excavation of a discrete residential cluster of five pit houses to document a sequential series of small courtyard groups. Excavation of a canal segment provides the authors the opportunity to investigate Hohokam irrigation practices in the Tucson Basin, which differ dramatically from their better-known counterparts in the Phoenix Basin.
A wide-ranging collection of 13 papers on archaeological work conducted by members of the Black Mesa project from 1975-1981. Topics range from methodologies for connecting surface scatters to buried remains to discussions of the relationship between source distance and the conservation of chipped stone materials.
