I also owe a great debt of gratitude to James Vint at Archaeology Southwest, for openly sharing his own thoughts and research on Sobaipuri archaeology and spending countless hours with me discussing my research methods and goals. I am grateful to the researchers at Arizona State Museum (ASM) who dedicated their time to help me identify and analyze materials held within the repository. Thank you espe- cially to Dr. Arthur Vokes, George M. (Mike) Jacobs, Alan Ferg, and John Madsen. I would also like to thank Rick Karl for conducting the AZSITE database search on my behalf and giving me access to archaeological site files. Likewise I am grateful to Dr. Dale Brenneman in the Office of Ethnohistorical Research at ASM, who provided me with transcriptions of several historical documents and access to research materials.

Addi- tional thanks go to Dr. Barbara Mills of the School of Anthropology at the University of Ari- zona and Dr. Stephanie Whittlesey for their helpful advice and feedback on ceramic analysis.
