Soil Systems, Inc. Inhumation Summaries for Kitchell & Lauth/Pueblo Grande Projects
Creator(s): Rebecca Hill
Year: 2011
Summary
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 Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
