History and Description of the Remains

In 1963, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed by an unknown individual from an unrecorded site, designated AZ 2000-296, possibly located in the Tucson metropolitan area in Pima County, AZ. This collection was mailed anonymously to the University of Arizona, School of Anthropology from Florida in March 2000. The collection was subsequently brought to ASM. No known individuals were identified. The three associated funerary objects are one ceramic bowl, one ceramic jar, and one ceramic sherd. The human remains likely date to the Hohokam Classic period, A.D. 1150-1450, based on ceramic typology.

In 1992, human remains representing, at a minimum, one individual were removed from site AZ AA:12:252(ASM), located in the eastern portion of the Santa Cruz River flood plain in the Tucson Basin, in Pima County, AZ, during testing and data recovery carried out over the course of the Rillito-Toltec Loop Testing and Data Recovery Project. The project was conducted by Archeological Consulting Services under the direction of Barabara Macnider and David Gregory. The human remains were received by ASM in 1994. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present. This site is described as a large, multi-component Hohokam sherd and lithic artifact scatter. Based on this description, these human remains date to around A.D. 450-1450, which encompasses the Hohokam cultural sequence.

In 1982, human remains representing, at a minimum, one individual were removed from site AZ AA:16:6(ASM), located west of the Santa Cruz River in the Tucson metropolitan area, Pima County, AZ, during survey and excavation work conducted by the University of Arizona, under the direction of Paul Fish.

This site is a large Hohokam settlement occupied during the Colonial and Sedentary periods, consisting of a house mound or platform mound, several trash mounds, two ball courts, and a prehistoric canal. Based on site dates, these human remains date to A.D. 750-1150.

Archeologists describe the earliest settlements in southern Arizona as belonging to the Late Archaic/Early Agricultural horizon. Recent archeological investigations have added support to the hypothesis that the Hohokam cultural tradition arose from the earlier horizon, based on continuities in settlement pattern, architectural technologies, irrigation technologies, subsistence patterns, and material culture. Archeologists have had difficulty dating the beginning of the Hohokam period because the appearance of its distinctive cultural traits, including ceramic technologies and mortuary patterns, was a gradual process spanning several hundred years. This observation adds further support to the hypothesis that the Hohokam tradition evolved in place from earlier Late Archaic traditions. Linguistic evidence furthermore suggests that the Hohokam tradition was multiethnic in nature. Cultural continuity between these prehistoric occupants of Southern Arizona and present-day O'odham peoples is supported by continuities in settlement pattern, architectural technologies, basketry, textiles, ceramic technology, and ritual practices.

Archeologists have also recognized the presence of people associated with the Mogollon tradition in southeastern Arizona. Their presence there is thought to represent a migration of people from the mountainous region to the north, where the Mogollon archeological culture was originally defined. Material culture characteristics of Mogollon traditions include a temporal progression from earlier pit houses to later masonry pueblos, villages organized in room blocks of contiguous dwellings associated with plazas, rectangular kivas, polished and paint-decorated ceramics, painted and unpainted corrugated ceramics, red and brown ceramics, inhumation burials, cradleboard cranial deformation, grooved stone axes, and bone artifacts. In southeastern Arizona, there is evidence for both Hohokam and Mogollon traditions, but it is unclear whether these traditions represent separate occupations of different people who interacted and exchanged material culture, or cohabitation and a blending of identities.

Oral traditions that are documented for the Ak-Chin Indian Community (previously listed as the Ak Chin Indian Community of the Maricopa (Ak Chin) Indian Reservation, Arizona); Gila River Indian Community of the Gila River Indian Reservation, Arizona; Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community of the Salt River Reservation, Arizona; and the Tohono O'odham Nation of Arizona support cultural affiliation with Late Archaic/Early Agricultural period and Hohokam sites in southern Arizona.

Oral traditions that are documented for the Hopi Tribe also support cultural affiliation with Late Archaic/Early Agricultural period and Hohokam sites in the region. Several Hopi clans and religious societies are derived from ancestors who migrated from the south and likely identified with the Hohokam tradition. Oral traditions and archeological evidence also support affiliation of Hopi clans with the Mogollon archeological sites.

Oral traditions of medicine societies and kiva groups of the Zuni Tribe recount migration from distant portions of the Southwest to present day Zuni, and support affiliation with Mogollon, Hohokam, and Late Archaic traditions. Historical linguistic analysis also suggests interaction between ancestral Zuni and Uto-Aztecan speakers during the late Hohokam period.
