Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper examines the procurement and use of raw materials by upland Archaic groups in the Tucson Basin of southern Arizona and the influence of group mobility, raw material availability, and tithic technology on raw material use. The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between raw material procurement and hunter-gather, adaptations in this desert context. Data from sites in the upper bajada in the Tucson Basin reveal that raw material use in this zone was tied to group mobility and the availability of fine-grained materials. This study illustrates that regional patterning in raw material procurement and use can provide important information on hunter-gather use of a landscape.
