Notes: Archaeological Series 171.  Volume 1: Parts 1 and 2: Part 1 details project history, scope, research objectives, excavation strategy.  Part 2: Interpretations.  This is the meat of the project–dating, stratigraphy, prehistoric uses, ceramic production, et al.  Volume 2: Part 3:  These are the results of the excavations, burials/cremations, ceramics interpretations, artifacts, remains, et al.   The project, located on the Tohono O’odham reservation, was long in discussion, primarily because it was the site of a prehistoric burial ground.  Once the details were worked out and excavation could begin, the site yielded 110 features including burials/cremations, roasting pits/hearths, and pithouses (in descending order).  All remains were turned over to the tribe for reburial.  2 volume set.  SOLD AS A SET ONLY.
