The Hohokam tradition is believed to have been centered around the middle Gila River and lower Salt River drainage areas as well as the southern Sonoran Desert in what is now Arizona, Sonora, and Chihuahua.
Settlements in the Hohokam tradition were rancheria -style; each large, square house had slightly excavated floors and was no more than one room until very late in the Hohokam sequence.
Hohokam ceramics were finished using the paddle and anvil technique and fired to achieve a buff color. Red paint decorates ceramics of this tradition.
This sequence is applied specifically to the Hohokam core area which is the Gila-Salt basin near Phoenix, Arizona. Outside this region, local phase schemes are used to more closely fit regional differences.
Between 1350 and 1450, the Hohokam tradition loses coherence and many settlements are abandoned. Much research and excavation continues in order to determine the ultimate fate of the Hohokam.
