AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Haury describes in very brief terms ten inhumations recovered at Snaketown, dating from the Sacaton Phase.Of these, four were infants; four were adults but incomplete and badly disarticulated; and two were the articulated skeletons of adults.In all cases the bones were very poorly preserved. Two adult male skulls were sufficiently complete to give an idea of the cranial form but they were not complete enough for measurement (p. 246).
