Ina Road and Interstate 10

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". *<}:-^)

Correction.. “Farmer” is the word for “Bad Hunter”

I'm wondering the same thing. Seems that not much is known about them at present.
