Structural Wood Choice and Cultural Meaning at Honey Bee Village. Life in the valley of gold, archaeological investigations at Honey Bee Village, a prehistoric Hohokam ballcourt village in the Canada del Oro Valley of southern Arizona: introduction, chronology, material culture investigations and research results. Swarts, K. Archaeology Southwest, Center for Desert Archaeology, June, 2012. Edited by Henry D. Wallaceabstract bibtex Honey Bee Village was a sizeable prehistoric Hohokam village complete with a plaza, mounds, and ballcourt located in the Cañada del Oro Valley north of Tucson, Arizona. In 2006 and 2007, nearly three-quarters of the village was intensively excavated under contract with Pima County and Vistoso Partners. The core of the site is a 13-acre preserve that was tested in the 1980s. Outside the core area, the full plan of the village was revealed, resulting in the identification of 2,004 cultural features. Occupation ranged from late in the Tortolita phase to the early Tanque Verde phase, roughly A.D. 650-1200. Overall, 947 cultural features were fully or partially excavated, including 183 pit structures, possible structures, and adobe rooms, 207 human burial features, 11 animal burials, 24 trash mounds or concentrations, and 522 extramural features. Particularly interesting remains uncovered include a golden eagle burial and a Late Rincon phase plaza and plaza cemetery. The wide excavation coverage permitted an unusually complete view of a Hohokam village and of surface-subsurface comparisons. The archaeological features and artifacts recovered are documented in this two-volume report. A large set of radiocarbon and archaeomagnetic dates is discussed. Household economic specialization and architectural practices are addressed. Cremation mortuary practices are reconstructed, and Hohokam perspectives on death and the dead are considered. The history and shifting settlement structure of the village are considered in relation to its nearby sister village, Sleeping Snake. Of special interest is the discovery that logs obtained from the Santa Catalina Mountains were used in house construction.
