Pages 197-216 | Published online: 26 Jul 2016
 

ABSTRACT

Recent excavations at the Continental Site (AZ EE:1:32 [ASM]) have provided new information on the Classic period Hohokam occupation of the middle S Mila Cruz River basin in south-central Arizona. Seven habitation structures excavated during this investigation burned catastrophically and contained intact floor assemblages including numerous storage vessels with preserved botanical materials. This article discusses the chronology, subsistence practices, and site structure and social organization of the investigated portion of the Continental Site, then compares the site to other Classic period occupations in the Santa Cruz Riva-basin.
