Cultural Landscapes of Prehistory in Southern Arizona |
| |
Description |
Stephanie Whittlesey of Statistical Research Inc (SRI) contributed two studies in 2000, each just under 70 pages in length, that present the domestic landscape, agricultural landscape, religious landscape and social landscape of the Pre-classic and then the Classic Hohokam. Each study, begins with a description of the "Dwelling Space: The Built Environment of Home." Written for both a broad readership and interested experts, the text of the studies move successfully from academic to widely accessible descriptions. New-comers to the topic will carry away a good basic understanding; researchers can refresh their understandings and benefit from the extensive list of reference materials. These studies were drafted as part of the Cultural Resource Element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. This resource is in PDF format. |

As stated on the webpage, "The Auxiliary assists the Museum in accomplishing it its goal of educating the public about Arizona's prehistory, archaeology, and our many Native Americans through workshops, lectures, tours, and children's programs." The majority of this website does not appear to have been updated since August 2004, but the library search engine is functioning and the webpage does contain contact information. |
