Notes: 3 parts in 4 volumes.  SOLD AS A SET ONLY.  Volume I: Project Background and Feature Descriptions “Portions of three prehistoric sites were investigated by the project – Grewe, Horvath, and Casa Grande Ruins. Each of the sites represents a separate spatial and temporal component of the Grewe-Case Grande settlement, one of the preeminent Hohokam settlements in southern Arizona between A.D. 550 and 1450…In total, 1,310 cultural features were identified by GARP, including 271 structures, 3 or 4 adobe compounds, 148 cremations, 8 inhumations, 866 pits, segments of 10 canals, and 1 ballcourt.”  (https://core.tdar.org/document/435810/the-grewe-archaeological-research-project-volume-1-project-background-and-feature-descriptions )

Volume 2: Material Culture Part I: Ceramic Studies  “Part I of Volume 2 focuses on the ceramic studies from the project. Close to 500,000 items of material culture were recovered on the project. Most of the materials are from Grewe, where 90 percent of the field effort was expended. Roughly 250 pit houses, 800 pits, 140 burials, and a portion of what have been the largest ballcourt ever built by the Hohokam were investigated at Grewe.” (https://core.tdar.org/document/435813/the-grewe-archaeological-research-project-volume-2-material-culture-part-i-ceramic-studies)

Volume 2: Material Culture Part II: Stone, Shell, and Bone Artifacts and Biological Remains  “Part II of Volume 2 focuses on the stone, shell, bone artifacts and biological remains of the project. Close to 500,000 items of material culture were recovered on the project. Most of the materials are from Grewe, where 90 percent of the field effort was expended.  (https://core.tdar.org/document/435814/the-grewe-archaeological-research-project-volume-2-material-culture-part-ii-stone-shell-and-bone-artifacts-and-biological-remains)

Volume 3: Synthesis  “Portions of three prehistoric sites were investigated on the project – Grewe, Horvath, and Casa Grande Ruins. Each of the sites represents a separate spatial and temporal component of the Grewe-Casa Grande settlement, one of the preeminent Hohokam settlements in southern Arizona between A.D. 550 and 1450….The sample of features and materials recovered stands out for its size, diversity, and time depth. There are few occasions in which data from a single, preeminent site located in the heart of a cultural region and relevant to virtually every time period are available for comparative study. The concern in this volume is with the implications of spatial and temporal patterns identified by GARP for understanding the growth and development of the Grewe-Casa Grande community.” (https://core.tdar.org/document/435816/the-grewe-archaeological-research-project-volume-3-synthesis)
