Unit 14_Cremation summaries

Creator(s): Rebecca Hill

Year: 2011

Summary

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 Community.
