Guided Tour of the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study
ARI's first web page was developed by Peter McCartney in 1995-6. ASU's Roosevelt Platform Mound Study was conducting fieldwork from the Fall of 1989 through the summer of 1993. On the tour you will visit some of the platform mounds and see artifacts in the "Lab" (Note: the map indicates the location of the field laboratory, but in 1993 it was moved to Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.).

This exhibit presents research results and photos from archaeological studies by ASU at the historic site of the Phoenix Indian School, a boarding school for Native American students that was established in 1891.
