Friends and colleagues: Ancient irrigation canals, villages and monuments
built by the Hohokam are prominent elements of the archaeological record
near Phoenix, Arizona. You can see the excavation of one of the biggest
Hohokam sites yet recorded in Under These Fields 1000 Years Ago, the latest
video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, The Archaeology
Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org).
Before it was abandoned 900 years ago, the Grewe Site was one of the largest
settlements in the American Southwest. This large Hohokam village south of
Phoenix and the surrounding agricultural communities covered a combined area
of about two square miles, encompassing the architectural monument known
today as Casa Grande. This video describes the excavation of the Grewe Site
by Northland Research in a highway-related project sponsored by the Arizona
Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment. We
