In a broad sense, the Hohokam and Mogollon followed parallel cultural pathways, but each also left a cultural signature. While the Mogollon created a rich and distinctive legacy of images on stone and clay, the Hohokam produced extensive systems for irrigation, reached high levels of innovative cr...

To date, most models of Hohokam irrigation agriculture (i.e., hydrologic and sedimentologic models) fail to address dynamics like flow regime, seasonality, canal use and abandonment (Henderson and Hackbarth, 1939). Biota recovered from Hohokam canals often include ostracodes, carbonate-secreting ...

The study suggests that sediments associated with canals were transported by the water in those canals and deposited as the water velocity slowed. The high sediment buildup in the canal intake areas has implications for social structure of people using irrigation technology and may have been a ...
