content: The Double Adobe Site is an archaeological site in the Whitewater Draw area of southern Arizona. In October 1926, Byron Cummings led four University of Arizona students, including Emil Haury, in excavating the site after a mammoth skull was found by picnicking schoolchildren. Below the skull, the archeologists found milling and handstones as well as the bones of Pleistocene species of bison and horse.
