description: Between January 18 and July 1, 2005, archaeologists from Environmental Planning Group (EPG) conducted data recovery at a portion of the Las Canopas Site (AZ T:12:137[ASM]) within the City of Phoenix. Las Canopas is a large Hohokam village that extends more than 1 mile. Previous testing at the site identified at total of 46 features, including 5 cremations and 5 inhumations (Dobschuetz 2004b). Data recovery efforts focused on expanding those areas where human remains were identified to determine whether more human remains and associated funerary objects were present at the site. Individuals participating in the project include Kris Dobschuetz as principal investigator; Scott Wilcox as Field Director; April Tutt as Crew Chief, with field crew Jennifer Epperson, Gretchen Gallagher, Mark Howe, Kim Kennedy, Peter Marckman, C. Scott Crownover, Barbara Miller, Gina Gage, and Bill Elsey. Volunteers at the site include Matthew Thomas. Bruce Phillips of EcoPlan Associates, Inc. served as the project geomorphologist. ReBecca Hill of Soil Systems, Inc. served as project osteologist. The fieldwork required a total of 431 person-days to complete. The following report is a summary of the project accomplishments and preliminary findings of the data recovery program at this site. The report also includes a general assessment of the nature, number, and quality of the features found and investigated during the project. Following a brief discussion of research themes, the preliminary findings of the testing and data recovery are summarized. The final section details the laboratory procedures to be used as the project progresses. Once the analysis is completed, a final report will be compiled detailing the results of the analysis. This is the final draft of the report.
