The Relationship of Casa Grande Ruin to Compound A: Research Potential of the in situ Deposits
In May and June of 1975, the National Park Service funded archeological fieldwork designed to study the relation of Casa Grande to Compound A in Casa Grande National Monument. Two earlier excavations on the south and east sides of Casa Grande in 1969 were re-opened and detailed profiles were drawn of all exposed deposits. This report is an in-depth analysis of those profiles together with a systematic review of the literature on the relationships of Casa Grande to Compound A. In addition, the significance of archeological resources discovered still in situ contiguous to Casa Grande is discussed and the importance of their research potential is emphasized. Finally, recommendations are made as to what steps must be taken to ensure preservation or proper mitigation of the archeological deposits in and around Casa Grande.
