英文摘要A buried canal system [AZ AA: 12: 1077 (ASM)] dated AD 350-550 was identified north of Tucson, Arizona and traced over 700 m across the southern piedmont of the Tortolita Mountains at the multi-component (Early Agriculture to Hohokam) Dairy Site. Unlike most pre-Hispanic canal systems in southern Arizona which originate on medium to large drainages, the Dairy Site Canal System harvested runoff from small, ephemeral alluvial fan channels with < 100 ha catchment areas and directed it towards the Santa Cruz River floodplain. Multiple channels indicate at least four episodes of remodeling and northward shifting of irrigation water through time. The Dairy Site Canal System is interpreted as an effort to diversify water procurement and reduce the risk of crop failure along an ephemeral reach of the Santa Cruz River. Although short non-riverine canals on alluvial fans have been ethnographically documented in the region, systems of this length and complexity are unknown historically. Non-riverine canals likely played an important role in water harvesting and food production in the deserts of southern Arizona but are poorly known due to low archaeological visibility.
