Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 15, Washington and 48th Streets: Soil Systems, Inc. Kitchell Development Testing and Data Recovery (The Former Maricopa County Sheriff's Substation)

Based on existing development plans prepared for Kitchell Development Co. for the parcel containing a former Maricopa County Sheriff’s substation at 48th and Washington Streets, Phoenix, Arizona, two areas were to be excavated below grade for a building foundation and a runoff detention basin. Because this parcel is immediately east of known prehistoric cultural remains that are part of the large Hohokam site of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)), backhoe trenching was conducted in the two areas to...

In a development plan proposed in 1999, two areas were to be excavated below grade for a building foundation and a runoff detention basin and the rest of the parcel was to be resurfaced at grade. Because this parcel is immediately east of the Iarge Hohokam village site of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)), a two-phase testing program determined the distribution of intact prehistoric cultural remains and established that mortuary features with human remains would be impacted if the existing...

This report describes the methodology, results, and recommendations of a partial data recovery and burial removal project conducted by Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) in March and May 1999 for Kitchell Development Co. for a parcel along the east side of the large Hohokam village site known as Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)) in Phoenix, Arizona. According to proposed development plans, two areas were to be excavated below grade for a building foundation and a runoff detention basin and the rest of the...

This report describes the methodology, results, and recommendations of a two phase archaeological testing project conducted by Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) in March and May 1999 for Kitchell Development Co. (KDC) for a parcel of land along the east side of the Hohokam village Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)) in Phoenix, Arizona. Phase 1 testing involved the excavation and recording of eight backhoe trenches in two parts of the parcel. Phase 2 testing was designed to help define the limits of the...

The Kitchell Data Recovery project Ceramic Rough Sort (RS_CERAMICS) Data sheet contains data from the rough sort analysis of ceramics recovered during the Kitchell data recovery project. It contains information on ceramic types, tempers and counts; it also records vessel and rim forms where applicable. The data sheet also contains rim circumference and rim diameter measurements for some ceramic specimens. See Partial Data Recovery and Burial Removal at Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1 (ASM)): Unit 15,...

The Kitchell Data Recovery Field Specimen Data sheet contains data about the artifact types recovered in each PD unit during the Kitchell data recovery effort (SSI Project No. 99-01) at Pueblo Grande. It lists the PD number, the field specimen (FS) number (specimen numbers range from 1 to n for each PD unit), and the point location (PL) number (if applicable). The table then provides artifact type, lithic material (if applicable), lithic condition (if applicable), and Vessel ID (if applicable)...

The Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1 [ASM]): Unit 15, 48th and Washington; Kitchell Data Recovery: Photography Log (PHOTO) Data sheet contains basic information about the photographs taken during the Kitchell data recovery effort at Pueblo Grande. The data set may be used to locate photographs for additional research. The Kitchell Data Recovery photographs are curated at the See Partial Data Recovery and Burial Removal at Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 15, The Former Maricopa County Sheriff's...

The Kitchell Data Recovery Provenience Designation (PD) data sheet summarizes the PD's excavated during the Kitchell data recovery project (SSI Project No. 99-01) at Pueblo Grande. It is the master list for all excavated contexts in the Kitchell data recovery effort. It contains information about each PD and the features recorded during excavation. See Partial Data Recovery and Burial Removal at Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 15, The Former Maricopa County Sheriff's Substation,...

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...

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...

Between March 1999 and March 2000, Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) archaeologists completed a partial data recovery and burial removal project (SSI Project No. 99-01) for Kitchell Development Co. on a parcel (Unit 15) along the east side of the large Hohokam village site Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)) in Phoenix, Arizona. The data recovery fieldwork was preceded by a two-phase testing project (SSI Project No. 97-08) designed to identify and locate subsurface cultural remains. Phase 1 testing...
