Description

The Hohokam were prehistoric North American Indians who lived approximately from 200 to 1400 CE in the semiarid region of present-day central and southern Arizona, largely along the Gila and Salt rivers. The term Hohokam is said to be Pima for “those who have vanished.”

During the Pioneer Period the Hohokam lived in villages composed of widely scattered, individually built structures of wood, brush, and clay, each built over a shallow pit. They depended on the cultivation of corn, supplemented by the gathering of wild beans and fruits and hunting.

One of their greatest achievements and unsurpassed in pre-Columbian North America, was the Hohokam’s development of complex canal networks. It was during this period that the first irrigation canal was built; a 3-mile channel in the Gila River valley that directed river water to their maize fields.

In the following millennium During the Pioneer Period they also developed several varieties of pottery.
