University Indian Ruin, Tucson, Arizona: This site preserves 13 acres of a Classic Period Hohokam Settlement (A.D. 1150-1450). At the center is a large platform mound that served as the civic and ritual building. A much smaller platform mound to the east was also used simutaneously. Upon excavation of an adobe structure, a wide array of core and ground stone artifacts and parts of Bison were strewn throughout. Most interestingly, Zuni Glaze Wares were also found, suggesting late occupation. Large amounts of burned trash, useful tools, and reconstructible bowls were found throughout the fill.
