POLLEN ANALYSIS FOR THE WADDELL DATA RECOVERY PROJECT: AN EXAMINATION OF THE SUBSISTENCE BASE FROM THE AGUA FRIA AND NEW RIVER DRAINAGES

Recovery of 165 samples for pollen analysis has been completed at 14 sites within the Hohokam northern periphery along the Agua Fria and New River drainages. Cultural resources in this area consist primarily of "small field house sites or farmsteads and associated agricultural systems" (Green 1986a:1). These sites date primarily within the Colonial, Sedentary, and Classic periods.
