Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 2000

Summary

The Leon Family Farmstead, AZ 88:13:505 (ASM), was occupied between the mid-1840s and the early 1920s. The Leon Family was one of the wealthier Mexican families in Tucson. They farmed along the Santa Cruz River, raised cattle, and operated a store. Samples were collected from a variety of locations at this site, including borrow pits, a possible garden plot, and an ashy layer in a well to examine pollen that might represent food and/or ornamental plants. If human

waste was deposited in any of these features, it might be accompanied by parasites.
