Excavation at AZ T:12:220(ASM)/Las Cremaciones

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Recent discussions surrounding cultural resource management in the Phoenix Basin have highlighted the importance of synthesis across firms, projects, and cultural resources. This poster examines archaeological investigations at AZ T:12:220(ASM), colloquially known as Las Cremaciones, with the purpose of compiling data available from past excavations to provide a holistic idea of what is known about the site. AZ T:12:220(ASM)/Las Cremaciones is a large pre-Hispanic Hohokam village located in Laveen, Arizona to the south of Phoenix, near the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers. In the fall of 2022, Terracon was involved in excavations that intersected the southwestern portion of AZ T:12:220(ASM)/Las Cremaciones and excavated a 30 percent sample of all non-mortuary features, inclusive of pit structures, thermal features, pits, and an oversized surface. This poster will present the results of Terracon’s excavations and contextualize these data within other investigations conducted at the site to contribute to a broader understanding of what is known about AZ T:12:220(ASM)/Las Cremaciones.
