Abstract
U PON comparing the archaeology of the valley of the Colorado River, between Lake Meade and the Gulf of California, to the rest of the Southwest, we are impressed with how little is known. When the first white men arrived, we know that a large population speaking various Yuman languages occupied the area,1 and archaeological surveys by Gila Pueblo, San Diego Museum, Southwest Museum, and the Museum of Northern Arizona indicate that American Indians have lived in the valley from very early times.2 Before the introduction of pottery making, the Colorado Valley was occupied by a population whose only evidence is marked by lithic industries. These cultures have been fully discussed by Rogers3 and are not included in the present paper, the scope of which is limited to those cultures with ceramic remains.
