For a thousand years they flourished in the arid lands now part of Arizona. They built extensive waterworks, ballcourts, and platform mounds, made beautiful pottery and jewelry, and engaged in wide-ranging trade networks. Then, slowly, their civilization faded and transmuted into something no longer Hohokam. Are today's Tohono O'odham their heirs or their conquerors? The mystery and the beauty of Hohokam civilization are the subjects of the essays in this volume. Written by archaeologists who have led the effort to excavate, record, and preserve the remnants of this ancient culture, the chapters illuminate the way the Hohokam organized their households and their communities, their sophisticated pottery and textiles, their irrigation system, the huge ballcourts and platform mounds they built, and much more.

- A very insightful summary of current research of the Hohokam migration from Mesoamerica, their lifestyle, building projects, society, etc, The book is comprised of several articles by different authors who are working archaeologists in the areas in which the articles are focused. In many ways the Hohokam seem more advanced than the Anasazi and this is one of the most accessible books about their civilization I have read. There are many excellent illustrations of the general locations of Hohokam dwellings, ball courts and the the canals that they built to irrigate their crops. Many of the canals the Hohokam built are very close to where modern canals are now located which demonstrates the engineering capabilities of these people. In fact the grades chosen are mostly flat and wander around the hills in the Phoenix basin providing water for fields they cultivated in the flatlands. The article on the approximately 200 known ball courts along the Salt, Gila and Verde rivers built by the Hohokam and how the games were similar to those played in the Western area of Mexico, was especially interesting to me. I like how the book discusses different hypotheses and delineates the analysis of why certain views are more likely. In contrast I find Stephen Lekson's books much more focused on the commercial market, more biased and less interesting to read than this excellent and well researched book.
- A concise summary of recent research into the Hohokam, representing a diverse range of opinion, including sometimes contradictory theories.
