Ten sites in the survey area had Middle Formative Period occupations greater than or equal to 3.0 hectares. These were all good-sized villages. They are located on Figure 6.3, and are described below. This period witnessed the development of a two-level site size hierarchy (see below and Figure 6.9). The sites may therefore be classified as first-tier sites (population index values between 400 and 500) and second-tier sites (population index values between 200 and 300).
Numbered sites are discussed in text.
