An Overview of Architectural Practice at the Ironwood Village, Northern Tucson Basin, Arizona

This paper provides a brief review of the Ironwood Village site structure, an overview of architectural styles observed at the site, a discussion of variation in architectural practice observed at the site, and a regional comparison of Hohokam pit structure architecture within the greater Tucson Basin. Data recovery at the Ironwood Village site resulted in the discovery of nearly a hundred Pioneer and Colonial period architectural features. The area investigated was centered around a large Pioneer period plaza and Colonial period ball court, as well as adjacent residential, roasting, and cemetery areas that presents a unique opportunity to explore site structure and changing practices in residential architecture between the Pioneer and Colonial periods.
