abstract = "Jos{\'e} Solas Ruin was investigated in 1951 by Charles C. Di Peso of the Amerind Foundation. Di Peso identified the site as the Protohistoric period Sobaipuri (Piman) settlement of San Salvador de Baicatcan, thereby, he argued, closing “the gap” between the archaeological and historical records in southeastern Arizona. Critics have long maintained that Di Peso{\textquoteright}s dating of the site is erroneous. Recent research has revealed that the component excavated by Di Peso was actually built and inhabited by ancient immigrants from northern Arizona between A.D. 1300 and 1375, like the nearby Reeve Ruin and Davis Ranch site. The absence of a protohistoric occupation removes from consideration one of the few sites that might possibly have spanned the pre-Hispanic/Hispanic period transition in southern Arizona and has important implications for models of regional cultural continuity.",

note = "Funding Information: Ware, the current director, also deserves thanks for allowing my colleagues and me to continue working with these collections, and also for granting me permission to publish the image that comprises Figure 4. The San Pedro Preservation Project was made possible by financial support from an anonymous private foundation, the Salus Mundi Foundation, the Amerind Foundation, and a National Science Foundation grant to the Center for Desert Archaeology (SBR-9903332). Permission to conduct excavations at Jose Solas Ruin was granted by the following landowners: Eileen Hollowell, Lonnie Hicks, and the C-Spear Ranch. CDA volunteers and members of the Cochise Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society were invaluable as excavation crew members. The artifacts recovered as a result of our excavations were donated to the Arizona State Museum, where they will be curated in perpetuity. T. J. Ferguson took the photograph that became Figure 4 and kindly granted me permission to use it. Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh drafted Figures 3, 5, and 6. Mathew Devitt assisted me in creating Figures 1 and 2. Carol A. Gifford, editor of the Anthropological Papers of the University of Arizona brought the Di Peso inscription to my attention. Jeffery J. Clark, Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, J. Brett Hill, Anna A. Neuzil, and William J. Robinson read drafts of this paper and offered comments that are much appreciated. Two anonymous reviewers, M. Kyle Woodson, and Kiva editor, Ronald H. Towner, greatly improved the manuscript as a result of their many helpful suggestions.
