Soil Sediment Data from Pueblo la Plata, Pueblo Pato, and Richinbar Ruin

DATASET Rebecca Hill.

Data regarding grave form, dimensions, integrity, & placement of human remains within the feature were collected in the field by burial excavators using Soil Systems, Inc.'s cremation summary form. This form & coding sheets derived from it can also be found in tDAR. Bone mass data were collected in the lab by one of SSI's osteologists. Five cremations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

Pueblo Grande demography/paleopathology data sets are by burial group (BG) under each project heading. If the burial group for a feature is unknown, the data are identified only at the project area or stripping area level. Data contained include age, sex, stature, and presence/absence of various indicators of stress and infectious disease listing elements affected. Stature estimates (when preservation allowed for measurements of femur and/or tibia length) were calculated using corrected...

This document contains a form for the assessement of actions in regard to impact on cultural resources along with correpondence for the issue. This concerns erosion on the south wall of the Great House in Compound A at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. The proposed project seeks approval to stabilize loose material along this south wall.

This report presents an overview of the prehistoric and historic archaeological resources in the proposed Western Army National Guard Aviation Training site (WAATS) in south-central Arizona prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (COE). The purpose of this overview was to provide WAATS with a Class I Survey representing the initial step in the assessment of potential impacts to cultural resources in this large region as a result of helicopter over flights and landings...

The study of prehistoric mortuary practices in the American Southwest is undergoing tremendous change in the new millennium. The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...

Of the many valleys in the southern desert of Arizona, the prehistoric Hohokam concentrated the largest and greatest of their communities in the Phoenix basin. It was here that they constructed the most elaborate and extensive of their canal networks. Their success drew on two unique characteristics of the basin environment. The first was the Salt River; the most competent and consistent source of water in the southern desert, it surpasses five-fold the volume and capacity of the Gila River to...

The level of constructedness of archaeological sites can provide insight into the amount of planning, labor and time invested into building structures. Further understanding into the time, labor and planning invested into architecture can allow for inferences to made on the residential mobility of the population, intensity of surrounding land use and social importance assigned to each pueblo (Cameron 1999). This paper will explore and compare the architectural constructedness of small sites...

This volume presents the results of a set of diverse studies into special data sets from the site of La Ciudad. La Ciudad is one of the large Hohokam ruins within the network of prehistoric irrigation canals in the Phoenix basin (Figure A). It lies on the north side of the Salt River, midway along a canal system that originates at Pueblo Grande and extends a distance of seven miles to Las Colinas. La Ciudad is composed of multiple loci dispersed along the banks of four canals, and covers about...

Studies of the architecture of Pueblo La Plata, particularly room construction sequences, formed one component of the Legacies on the Landscape project research in 2004. The goals of this portion of the project were to improve our understanding of how the pueblo was built, and to gain a sense of population size and changes over time. In particular, we wished to determine whether a sizeable core area of rooms (representing the first construction phase of the pueblo) was visible, and whether the...

This report details archaeological testing and data recovery plan for the widening of State Route 260 (SR 260) project from Payson, Arizona, to Heber, Arizona. The construction occurred along 45.8 mi of highway between Mileposts (MP) 256.2 and 302. Archaeological sites were identified in the western 22 mi of highway below the Mogollon Rim on Tonto National Forest (TNF) land. Construction is being staged in six segments. From west-to-east, these segments are: Lion Springs, Preacher Canyon, Little...

State Route 260 (SR 260) from Payson to Heber, Arizona, is scheduled for realignment and improvement by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) over the next several years. This includes construction of 45.8 mi of highway between mileposts (MP) 256.2 and 302. Archaeological sites are found in only the western 22 mi of highway below the Mogollon Rim. Construction below the Mogollon Rim is being staged in six segments; from west-to-east, these segments are: Lion Springs, Preacher Canyon,...
