The Casas Grandes skeletal sample contains approximately 654 individuals. This excavated number represents one quarter or less of the probable total number of remains at the site. The collection arrived at The Physical Anthropology Laboratory of The University of Texas at Austin in 332 cardboard boxes. Many of the boxes were partitioned so that more than one individual was alloted to a box.

The Dentition of the Prehistoric Inhabitants of Casas Grandes (1971)
The skeletal series recovered from Casas Grandes, Chihuahua is described and compared to samples of living Papago, Hopi, and Navajo Indians for several non-metrical dental traits (incisor shoveling, canine tuberculum dentale, maxillary molar hypocone, Carabelli's Trait, mandibular molar cusp pattern protostylid, cusp 6, cusp 7, and mandibular premolar lingual cusp number). To quantify the biological relationships between these groups Smith and Berry's mean measure of divergence (Berry, 1968) is...
Dine Bikeyah (1941)
diné bikéyah "The Navajo's Country", is primarily a guide book and gazetteer of the Navajo country and adjacent regions.

Furthermore, it is hoped that diné bikéyah now using the official Indian Department system of writing the Navajo language, will make it possible to standardize and crystalize into universal spelling...

Of Gila Spiral and Plumed Serpents: the Temporal Sensitivity of Casas Grandes Ceramics (2020)
Arrangements of temporally sequential pottery types have been a backbone of southwestern archaeology for over seventy-five years. Indeed, the region has been the setting for much of the debate over ceramic systematics within Americanist archaeology (Lyman et al. 1997). Since the first Pecos conference in 1927, much of the early archaeological work in the region was explicitly geared towards establishing such ceramic series. In later years, these sequences provided the chronological framework...
