Archaeologists know the Sinagua (See-nah-wa), a name taken from a Spanish explorer's term for the San Francisco peaks -- "People of the Sierra Sinagua," lived in the Flagstaff area from about AD 700 to about 1300. Archaeologists typically differentiate between the northern Sinagua who lived above the Mogollon Rim and the Southern Sinagua who occupied the area in the Verde River Valley. Archaeologists typically differentiate between the northern Sinagua who lived above the Mogollon Rim and the southern Sinagua who occupied the area in the Verde River Valley (see map). Sinagua material culture displayed a great deal of variability over time and space (See architecture, pottery, stone tools, food, agriculture, trade). The Sinagua people did not disappear. They left the area around A.D. 1300 to continue their migrations. Many Hopi people believe that their ancestors, the Hisatsinom, are the Sinagua people. Today, archaeologists investigate the Sinagua way of life to find out how they lived, with whom they traded, and what their natural environment was like. |
