Prehistoric community integration in the Point of Pines region of Arizona

The Point of Pines region of Arizona was the subject of intense survey and excavation by the University of Arizona field schools from the 1940s to the 1960s; though most of these data remain unpublished. The site of W:10:50 h as long been of interest to archaeologists concerned with interregional mob ility because it contains a room block that appears to represent an intrusi on from the Kayenta area. This paper examines changes in community organiza tion in the area during the Masonry period (AC 1000-1450) before, during, a nd after the occupation by the Kayenta migrants based on changes in communi ty layout using concepts of space syntax analysis.
