Popis: his study examines Akimel O’Odham (i.e.,Pima) socioeconomic interactions throughanalyses of Protohistoric (ca. A.D.1500–1693) and Historic period (A.D. 1694–1962)obsidian acquisition patterns at the Sacate site (GR-909) in south-central Arizona. Until recently,comparatively few archaeological data were avail-able from the Akimel O’Odham settlement areaalong the Middle Gila River portion of the Ho-hokam core area in the Phoenix Basin (Figure 1).However, as part of the Pima-Maricopa IrrigationProject, the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC)created a Cultural Resource Management Programthat has conducted a full-coverage archaeologicalsurvey of nearly 57,000 ha within the communi-ty (Darling 2011; Darling et al. 2004; Loendorf2012; Loendorf and Rice 2004; Ravesloot 2007;Waters and Ravesloot 2000, 2001; Wells 2006;Wells et al. 2004; Woodson 2010). These inves-tigations included recording efforts at Sacate, anextensive historical village located on the south sideof the Middle Gila near the center of the GRIC.Prehistoric remains are uncommon at Sacate,and therefore it is possible to study indigenously
