description: This is the second in a series of three volumes documenting the results of the Grewe Archaeological Research Project (GARP). The Project was carried out by Northland Research, Inc. (Northland), under contract to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Portions of three prehistoric sites were investigated on the project - Grewe, Horvath, and Casa Grande Ruins. Each of the sites represents a separate spatial and temporal component of the Grewe-Casa Grande settlement, one of the preeminent Hohokam settlements in southern Arizona between A.D. 550 and 1450. Northland's data recovery efforts focused on a narrow corridor through the middle of Grewe and along the outskirts of Casa Grande Ruins. Over 1,300 cultural features were identified by GARP. Summary information on these features is presented in Volume 1. The purpose of Volume 2 is to describe and interpret the material remains recovered. Part I of Volume 2 focuses on the ceramic studies from the project. Close to 500,000 items of material culture were recovered on the project. Most of the materials are from Grewe, where 90 percent of the field effort was expended. Roughly 250 pit houses, 800 pits, 140 burials, and a portion of what have been the largest ballcourt ever built by the Hohokam were investigated at Grewe. The sample of features from Horvath and Casa Grande, in contrast, is much smaller and more limited in scope. It includes a few dozen houses and other features from a previously undocumented residential district on the outskirts of Casa Grande, along with segments of several canals that formed part of the Grewe-Casa Grande canal system, one of the engineering marvels of prehistoric North America.
