Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the second of three phases in the development of Cochise culture, dating from around 4,000 BCE to around 500 BCE. It is characterized by the creation of projectile points, presumably for hunting, and probably also by the development of farming, suggested by the remains of a primitive form of maize.
