Pollen and Micro-Invertebrates from Modern Earthen Canals and Other Fluvial Environments Along the Middle Gila River - Implications for Archaeological Interpretation (Paperback, illustrated edition)

This is the first volume of a series of research papers dedicated to the study and elucidation of the prehistoric and historic peoples who inhabited the middle Gila River valley. This inaugural paper presents environmental studies of modern earthen irrigation canals initially constructed in the 1930s and considers their applicability for understanding prehistoric Hohokam and historical Akimel O'odham canal systems occupying the same landscape.
