Archaeology Magazine: A Doomed People, The collapse of the Hohokam at Pueblo Grande by Michael S. Foster and Tobi Taylor. November\/December 1998. Pages 44-46.
\nThe Hohokam emerged from obscurity at the beginning of the Pioneer period (ca. 300 B.B. to A.D. 500) and thrived through the Classic period (ca. A.D. 1100 to 1450).<\/p>\n

This reconstruction was constructed at SimpleTwig Rendering (aka: The Drawing Studio) using site plans and existing photos of what remains today. Illustration is based on actual archaeological digs: heights of building were determined by wall thickness; in the lower left you can see a typical trash mound; at the upper left you can see a typical ball court; in the forecourt you can see the Hohokam’s typical hut, probably built for shelter before one would build an adobe structure; the Hohokam used ladders for egress and ingress; they would collect clay from the stream beds and build canals for irrigation; beyond the main complex and its secondary wall, there were other single dwelling units on the ridge beyond; many activities were completed on the roof structures; construction was an ongoing process.
