Abstract

The article explores the relationship between society and agriculture in the southwestern region of United States during prehistoric times. It was found out that before the thirteenth century, an integral relationship between regional abandonments and aggregated configurations were already developed. Agriculturists have already been experimenting with denser populations, intensified production and more integrated territorial units in few southwestern areas by A.D. 1000. Moreover, areas with densest regional populations, productive technologies and well-integrated territorial configuration experienced disruption during the fifteenth century.
