End of Field Work: Report Data Recovery for the GWH Project, Las Cremaciones, Phoenix, Arizona

Author(s): Glen E. Rice; John Gooding

Year: 2006

Summary

This is a report on the end of field work for a data recovery program conducted from September 23 to November 30, 2005, at the site of Las Cremaciones (AZ T:12:220 [ASM]) in Phoenix, Arizona. The excavation was conducted to assist the K. Hovnanian Great Western Homes (GWH) in complying with Arizona Statute A.R.S. 41-865 on the repatriation of burials and the City of Phoenix Ordinance on Historic Preservation (Chapter 8, Section 802). The K. Hovnanian Great Western Homes data recovery project is Pueblo Museum project number PGM 2005-112.

The State statute and City ordinance pertain to the recovery of prehistoric Native American burials and their repatriation to appropriate culturally affiliated Native American communities. This project used an existing burial agreement previously reached by the City of Phoenix, working with the Arizona State Museum, and the Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community designating the Community as the group to accept the human remains and associated grave goods from Las Cremaciones for repatriation. During the data recovery program cultural representatives from the Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community visited the site to conduct traditional observances prior to the removal of the burials.

This report describes the implementation of the work plan (Czarasty and Rice 2005) and presents tabular information on the extent of the field work and numbers of excavated features. The analysis of artifacts and inventory of human remains is currently underway, and a final report presenting the full findings of the project will be completed in the spring of 2006, after which the burials will be repatriated to the Salt River Pima - Maricopa Indian Community.
