Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS), conducted investigations at 20 prehistoric and historic sites for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) as the result of plans to realign State Route 88 (SR 88) between Tonto National Monument and the junction of US Highway 60 (US 60) in Globe-Miami, Gila County, Arizona. Fieldwork occurred on ADOT right-of-way on the Tonto National Forest (Forest) under special-use permits (No. 2034-22 and 2034-23) issued by the Forest under authority of the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, and on private land (later ADOT-owned land) under Arizona State Museum (ASM) permit (No. 1999-143ps). Fieldwork was conducted between October 1996 and November 1997 and in November 1999. This present volume is the second of a series that report on the findings within the SR 88-Wheatfields section. Reported herein are the results of analysis of 101 prehistoric and historic burial features excavated from six sites. Included are descriptions of the burial features and grave goods, osteological and dental analyses, descriptions of some rarely preserved funerary offerings, and an analysis of pollen obtained from pottery vessels in mortuary contexts. These discussions are preceded by a brief summary of the history of mortuary research in the region. The concluding chapters provide summaries and discussions of the formal and temporal trends in mortuary patterns identified between the Late Formative and Classic periods (ca. A.D. 700-1350) and in the Historic period (ca. 1850).
