In the Mountain Shadows (ASW 27-1) (PDF)

Issue editors: William H. Doelle and Deborah L. Swartz

In 1996, we published Archaeology in the Mountain Shadows: Exploring the Romero Ruin, a booklet that shared information about the archaeology of the park in terms of what we knew then about the northern Tucson Basin in the distant past. Our understanding of what life was like for the people who lived in the Tucson Basin between A.D. 500 and 1450 has expanded since then. Archaeologists call these people the Hohokam, and the Romero Ruin tells part of their story, while also reflecting a bigger picture of Hohokam life. The thirtieth anniversary of Catalina State Park in 2013 provides a timely opportunity to revise Archaeology in the Mountain Shadows.
