Basketmaker Beginnings instead marks a giant leap forward in archaeologists' understanding of the earliest maize farmers north and west of the Colorado River. This volume, based on the results of excavations at Jackson Flat Reservoir just south of Kanab, examines a litany of firsts: The earliest Archaic pithouses anywhere in the region are found here, maize farmers from southern Arizona arrived here a thousand years earlier than any previously reported evidence north of the Colorado River, and the emergence of a complex Basketmaker farming and foraging adaptation culminated in the construction of a large ceremonial or community structure, also a first for the region. In this collection of papers, specialists in Far Western Puebloan culture, architecture, settlement patterns, subsistence, chronometry, and prehistoric technologies offer new perspectives of the first farmers and villagers to settle along the base of the Vermilion Cliffs on the Utah-Arizona border, beginning about 1000 BC and long before the much-studied Basketmakers had emerged in the Four Corners region. In Basketmaker Beginnings, archaeologists make a compelling case that farming was introduced to the region by San Pedro immigrants, and that the blending of farmers with local foraging groups gave rise to a Basketmaker lifeway by 200 BC. This expression evolved over the next ten centuries to reflect clusters of pithouses, increasingly elaborate storage structures, locally distinct artifact traditions, and increased social complexity characterized by changing economic relationships to groups in southern Arizona and the California coast. The Basketmaker presence in southern Utah has traditionally been viewed as peripheral to the developments originating in the Four Corners region. Basketmaker Beginnings offers an entirely new and provocative perspective: The origins of farming on the northern Colorado Plateau are instead found far, far to the west along Kanab Creek"--c| Provided by publisher.;

Abstract	"Archaeology is a science of small but important incremental steps toward understanding the past. Basketmaker Beginnings instead marks a giant leap forward in archaeologists' understanding of the earliest maize farmers north and west of the Colorado River. This volume, based on the results of excavations at Jackson Flat Reservoir just south of Kanab, examines a litany of firsts: The earliest Archaic pithouses anywhere in the region are found here, maize farmers from southern Arizona arrived here a thousand years earlier than any previously reported evidence north of the Colorado River, and the emergence of a complex Basketmaker farming and foraging adaptation culminated in the construction of a large ceremonial or community structure, also a first for the region. In this collection of papers, specialists in Far Western Puebloan culture, architecture, settlement patterns, subsistence, chronometry, and prehistoric technologies offer new perspectives of the first farmers and villagers to settle along the base of the Vermilion Cliffs on the Utah-Arizona border, beginning about 1000 BC and long before the much-studied Basketmakers had emerged in the Four Corners region. In Basketmaker Beginnings, archaeologists make a compelling case that farming was introduced to the region by San Pedro immigrants, and that the blending of farmers with local foraging groups gave rise to a Basketmaker lifeway by 200 BC. This expression evolved over the next ten centuries to reflect clusters of pithouses, increasingly elaborate storage structures, locally distinct artifact traditions, and increased social complexity characterized by changing economic relationships to groups in southern Arizona and the California coast.
