Hakataya
Under the name Hakataya three archaeological cultures in the southwest of the United States are summarized, which extended from about 200 to 1300 from today's Arizona to the Pacific coast. The Hakataya are the Patayan , the Sinagua culture and the Cohonina or the Laquish . According to other authors, the Hakataya culture is equated with the Patayan, the other cultures would then only be closely related.
They made ceramics and already lived partially from agriculture, but in the appropriate seasons they moved to places with good food sources as hunters and gatherers .
The region around the Salt River and Gila River in present-day Arizona is considered to be the origin of the Hakataya . From there, the culture spread north across the Mogollon Rim and west. Around 1300 it reached the coast of the Pacific Ocean in what is now Southern California and what is now Baja California in Mexico . The culture was strongly influenced by the Hohokam from around 600 in the Gila-Salt area and from around 1100–1150 in its northern distribution area by the Mogollon culture and the Anasazi , and finally merged with them.
