Urban Archaeology at the Hohokam Village of Pueblo Grande

Summary

PaleoWest Archaeology recently completed two data recovery projects at the east and west ends of the seminal Hohokam village of Pueblo Grande in Phoenix, Arizona. The two projects were in the last two undeveloped parcels of Pueblo Grande, which was the largest and most influential Hohokam village in the lower Salt River Valley. Despite more than a century of historic use of these parcels, which included residential and commercial developments, substantial prehistoric archaeological deposits remained intact. The purpose of this poster is twofold: 1) to present the archaeological data from these projects and how they compare to previous archaeological work at Pueblo Grande and 2) to demonstrate how significant subsurface deposits can remain intact, even in areas of intense historic disturbance.
