DATASET Rebecca Hill.

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...

Data regarding the 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. Twenty-seven cremations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian...

These data were recorded in the field by burial excavators using Soil Systems, Inc.'s inhumation summary form. This form & coding sheets derived from it can be found in tDAR. Types of data collected included variables related to grave form & dimensions, position & orientation of the human remains contained within, and integrity of the feature & associated human remains. Fourteen inhumations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Stephanie M. Whittlesey.

In Chapter 4, Whittlesey presents a thorough summary of archaeological research and intellectual history in central Arizona. The author's goal is to situate the LVAP research in the context of central Arizona archaeology. Whittlesey provides histories of the research that has been conducted in the Verde drainage, the Tonto Basin, the Agua Fria drainage, and the Phoenix Basin. She concludes with a summary of the research trajectories and the different explanatory models applied to central...

In Chapter 5, Whittlesey and Benaron provide a synthesis of the ethnohistoric data and archaeological evidence for Yavapai and Western occupation of central Arizona. The authors summarize available information on Yavapai and Apache domestic remains and material culture to assist identification in the archaeological record. They also describe subsistence and land use patterns.

In Chapter 9, Van West and Altshcul examine late prehistoric period agriculture in the Transition Zone of central Arizona, and consider how agricultural production influenced population zone in this area. They begin with a description of the Transition Zone’s environmental context. They then present evidence for prehistoric agriculture in the LVAP project area. These authors use these data to model potential agricultural productivity in Horseshoe Basin. Next, they model the population sizes on...

DOCUMENT Full-Text Richard Ciolek-Torello.

In Chapter 14, Ciolek-Torello presents one of the first full syntheses of indigenous settlement and demographic patterns in the Verde Valley, without reference to interaction in the Hohokam core area. He begins with a summary of prehistoric settlement patterns from pre-ceramic periods through the Late Classic period across the entire Transition Zone of central Arizona. He then characterizes settlement systems in the lower Verde Valley through time and describes the archaeological sites and...

In Chapter 15, Whittlesey reviews the Hohokam core-periphery model in light of the new data generated by the LVAP. She begins with a description of the intellectual history and the key concepts of the Hohokam core-periphery model and the Hohokam regional system model. She then examines the utility of the core-periphery model for explaining current data on Hohokam prehistory. After reviewing the distribution of several quintessential Hohokam traits among sites in the “core” and in the...

Chapter 18 provides a summary of the LVAP’s research themes and offers an overview of the research results. Ciolek-Torello synthesizes the chronology and cultural sequence of the lower Verde Valley. He places this sequence and its cultural developments in the context of other cultural sequences in central and southern Arizona. Whittlesey then summarizes the argument for an indigenous cultural tradition in the Transition Zone of central Arizona, one with roots in Mogollon prehistory and with...

In August 1995, Statistical Research, Inc., performed data recovery on an area approximately 3,200 m2 at AZ AA: 12:503 (ASM), a Late Archaic period site in the northern Tucson Basin. The site is located on a parcel of land owned by Waste Management of Southern Arizona, and the project was undertaken in response to the plans of Waste Management to construct a new southern Arizona headquarters. Three of the four stratigraphic units defined at the site yielded cultural features. One hundred...

DATASET James Watson.

In this data set, Watson presents mortuary and biological data for a sample (n = 431) of Early Agriculural period (1,600 B.C - 150 A.D.) burial features excavated at 12 archaeological sites in southeastern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. Variables include age, sex, body position, body orientation, material accompaniments, trauma, and several paleopathological conditions.

APS proposes to construct (1) two parallel 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission lines within a 450-foot-wide right-of-way, (2) an 80-acre 500kV switchyard, and (3) a 230kV interconnection line in Maricopa County. The project will provide transmission interconnection for the Panda Gila River generating station to the Western Systems Coordinating Council transmission grid.

Under the premise of "Give us our water and we will take care of ourselves," the book includes two chapters surrounding the irrigation practices of the Pima-Maricopa Indians from the mid-19th century to the present. The first chapter discusses the early irrigation practices of the Pima-Maricopa Indians and their history within the Gila and Salt River valleys supplemented with information from excavation and government documentation. Using this information, the second chapter lists a series of...

Nine wood samples from the Aramingo Canal site in Pennsylvania were submitted to the Fiske Center for Archaeological Research for taxonomic identification. All of the wood samples were found to be softwoods from the Pinaceae (Pine) family. Seven of the specimens were further identified to the Tsuga sp. (hemlock) genus, and the remaining two to the Pinus sp. (pine) genus. Both hemlock and soft pine were commonly used for timbers and both are described in 19th century historical documents as...

The Zuni Heaven project is a proposed land selection for Apache County, Arizona. Nearly 5,900 acres will be available for transfer to the County. In three phases, between October 1985 and July 1987, BLM inventoried over 7,100 acres to locate sufficient acreage for transfer. During the surveys, 32 sites were recorded in 19 different parcels. A total of 5,977 acres have been recommended for transfer to Apache County, excluding parcels which contain National Register potential properties.
