Abstract
We examine evidence from the Middle Archaic period in southern Arizona to gain a better understanding of the transition from foraging to farming in this area. We propose that certain characteristics manifested during the Middle Archaic period, specifically the repeated occupation of the floodplain and the use of annual seed plants, represent behaviors that would have facilitated the adoption of maize and the technology used to store it. Using this perspective, we argue that the transition from foraging to farming had is roots in the Middle Archaic period.
