Abstract
ABSTRACTBased on the distribution of non-local pottery recovered from Hohokam sites in south-central Arizona, Patricia Crown (1987) proposed that the Salt and Gila rivers served as boundaries for Hohokam exchange systems. Additional analysis based upon a larger sample of trade pottery does not uniformly support this proposition. Both similarities and differences existed in the spatial distribution of imported pottery in the Phoenix Basin during the Late Formative period (A.D. 700–1050). An increase in the acquisition of non-local pottery coincided with increasing regional similarity across the Phoenix Basin during the late Classic period after A.D. 1300. A spatial model based on proximity to source area accounts for most but not all of the distributions of imported pottery within the Phoenix Basin.
