Soil Systems, Inc. Inhumation Summaries for the DMB/Pueblo Grande Project
Part of the Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 11, Van Buren and 44th Streets: Soil Systems, Inc. DMB Property Testing and Data Recovery project
Creator(s): Rebecca Hill
Year: 1997
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 grave form & dimensions, position & orientation of the human remains contained within, & the integrity of the feature & associated remains. Fifty-seven inhumations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
