Indian burials on Arizona campus

Arizona State University construction crews have unearthed ancient remains of a Hohokam Indian buried with funeral offerings.

Construction on a research lab facility here was halted Thursday after workers discovered the burial site four feet below the ground, said ASU archaeologist Glen Rice.

Archaeologists said the remains may date to as early as A.D. 300, when the Hohokam established a village at the southern edge of Hayden Butte.
