Hohokam (/ h oʊ h oʊ ˈ k ɑː m /) was a culture in the North American Southwest in what is now part of south-central Arizona, United States, and Sonora, Mexico. It existed between 300 and 1500 CE, with cultural precursors possibly as early as 300 BCE. [ 1 ]
Between AD 800 and 1200 it was an important Hohokam settlement at the great bend of the Gila River.
