ABSTRACT
The analyses of La Ciudad grave lots involved the application of several different statistical techniques and organizations of the data. This chapter provides a detailed description of the limitations, procedures, and results of the analyses. The association of palettes and censers with each other and as burial goods was established in the Snaketown excavations. The simplest patterning that might exist in La Ciudad grave lots would be associations between individual artifact types and other characteristics of the burials. Treatment of the body required consideration prior to other analysis because of the marked difference between inhumation and cremation. Visual examination of the high grave lot value (GLV) sub-adult burials suggested that most of them date to the Sacaton Phase. To check for an interaction between age and phase, the analysis was conducted for age, with the Sacaton Phase cremations removed. The analyses of grave-lot value suggest that associations exist between the GLV of cremations and age, phase and location.
