History and Description of the Cultural
Items
In 1930, four unassociated funerary
objects were removed by the Gila Pueblo
Foundation from the site of Pozos de
Sonoqui (Sacaton 2:6 and Sacaton 2:7;
AZ U:14:49 [ASM]), also known as
Queen Creek Ruin and Sun Temple
Ruin, in the Salt River Basin in Pinal
and Maricopa Counties, AZ. Records
indicate the four items were removed
from cremation burials, though the
human remains are not present. The
objects are two ceramic bowls, one
ceramic scoop, and one shell bracelet.
Between 1927 and 1928, one
unassociated funerary object was
removed by the Gila Pueblo Foundation
from the Adamsville site (Florence 7: 6
(GP); AZ U:15:1 [ASM]) in Pinal County,
AZ. Records indicate that this item
likely was associated with a cremation
burial, although no specific burial is
listed. The object is one ceramic bowl.
In 1940, the Robert S. Peabody
Museum of Archaeology received these
five unassociated funerary objects as
part of an exchange with the Gila Pueblo
Foundation. Archaeological evidence
indicates the sites of Adamsville and
Pozos de Sonoqui are from the
archeologically defined Hohokam
tradition. The occupation of the
Adamsville site was approximately
between A.D. 900 and 1450. The
occupation of the Pozos de Sonoqui site
was approximately between A.D. 950
and 1450. Mortuary practices,
ethnographic materials, and technology
indicate a cultural affiliation of these
Hohokam settlements with present-day
O’odham (Piman) and Puebloan
cultures. An August 2000 cultural
