I guess that puts the 30 year overdue sewage treatment plant on hold (again).
NE Greater Tuscon metro; Kino.
About 50-55 miles SSE of, and several centuries earlier than, the Hohokam of Casa Grande, ca 400 AD -> ca 1450.
They are calling these canal building farmers pre-Hohokam, but I have to wonder just how closely related the two groups were, or if only the irrigation systems are similar. I'd like to know more about this people, but didn't find much Googling.
"Hunter": old Indian word for "poor farmer". *<}:-^)
Undoubtedly some liberal judge made the people fill them in to save the smelt! Sarc/off
Interesting. Thanks for this posting!
