Abstract
ABSTRACTLarge numbers of prehistoric Hohokam structures less then 9 m2 in size have been excavated in the Salt-Gila Basin. These small structures occur both in isolated situations and within more substantial sites with large structures. Historic data for groups living in southern Arizona and northern Mexico reveal that small structures were constructed for a variety of uses, primarily for storage or temporary habitation. The function of historic small structures in the settlement-subsistence system included temporary restriction of personnel viewed as dangerous to the community and shelter for personnel temporarily separated from the community caring for crops or in pursuit of wild food resources. Given these historic data, it is possible to attempt an interpretation of the uses of prehistoric small structures.
