Archaeological evidence documents apparent depopulation of the Hohokam region of Southern Arizona at the end of the Classic period (A.D. 1150-1450).

General similarities, including basic court orientations, with the Papago Vikita dance court assemblages at Santa Rosa and Quitovaca may reflect a similar use ...

Similarities in Hohokam and Chalchihuites Artifacts

American Antiquity, 1958
One of the most stimulating problems in present day Southwestern archaeology is that of relationships to the south — to the high cultures of Mexico.
