英文摘要	Our knowledge of Early and Middle Archaic period foraging adaptations in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona is limited, in part because groups were residentially mobile and site visibility has sometimes been obscured by geological processes and subsequent occupation, and in part because control of the temporal span of these occupations is difficult to obtain using existing data on projectile point styles. As a result, little is known about the earliest Archaic occupants of this region. This paper reports on excavations at the Ruelas Ridge site, an Early-to-Middle Archaic period occupation in the Tortolita Mountains of the Tucson Basin. We also present the results of a site distribution study using existing data on Early and Middle Archaic sites in the Tucson Basin. These data indicate that the pattern of land use focused on hunting in the upper bajada continued into the Middle Archaic period, and Middle Archaic groups expanded their foraging ranges to include more lowland settings, perhaps in response to environmental changes during the Middle Holocene. Land use during these periods was conditioned by vegetation, elevation, and especially the location of reliable water sources.
