UNDER THESE FIELDS 1000 YEARS AGO
Location: Arizona Length: 15 min.
Before it was abandoned 900 years ago, the Grewe Site was one of the
largest settlements in the American Southwest. This large Hohokam
village south of Phoenix, Arizona, and the surrounding agricultural
communities covered a combined area of about two square miles,
encompassing the architectural monument known today as Casa Grande.
This video describes the excavation of the Grewe Site by Northland
Research in a highway-related project sponsored by the Arizona
Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.
