PEOPLE OF THE TONTO RIM PB

by REDMAN CHARLES L

1993 Smithsonian Institution Press trade paperback, Charles Redman (The Rise of Civilization). In central Arizona, between Phoenix and Flagstaff, archaeologists have uncovered a series of settlements that may be more representative of the prehistoric Southwest than the celebrated civilization of the Anasazi and Hohokam. People of the Tonto Rim tells the story of the people who lived there from about A.D. 1000 to 1300, recounting the investigation of their society as well exploring the implications for our understanding of other societies beyond the Southwest. - Google Books

This is basically about Indian sites around Payson and Star Valley. There were lots of them but this mainly covered what they discovered at Shoofly Village which is just a couple miles from here. The locations of a lot of different places are pointed out throughout this book. But a lot have been covered over with homes etc. now.

Risser Ruins is in my neighborhood. Loved reading about the previous dwellers in the town I love.
