Research Design for the Upper and Lower Ruins, Tonto National Monument

M. D. Elson

Tonto National Monument, in the Tonto Basin of central Arizona, contains two well-known cliff dwellings sites: the Upper Ruin (AZ U:8:49(ASM)) and the Lower Ruin and South and NOrth Annex (AZ U:8:47(ASM)). The research design presented in this volume is designed to guide future archaeological work at Tonto National Monument by relating the cliff dwellings to the larger sphere of Tonto Basin research and archeological research in the American Southwest in general. Seven research themes are presented that are believed to be applicable to data recovered from the cliff dwellings. The significance of each theme, appropriate sampling methods, and how the theme is related to Historic Contexts established by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office and the Tonto National Forest are discussed.
