Pueblo Grande Ruin and Irrigation Sites are pre-Columbian archaeological sites and ruins, located in Phoenix, Arizona. It includes a historic platform mound and irrigation canals. The city manages the sites as the Pueblo Grande Museum Archaeological Park.〔http://phoenix.gov/parks/pueblo.html〕 ==History== The prehistoric Hohokam culture created the archaeological structures and items of Pueblo Grande. It is believed that this area was settled around 450 BC. Due to major population movements, among other factors, the site was abandoned by 1450 AD. Pueblo Grande features a large platform mound with retaining walls, that was formerly surmounted by walled structures. This massive structure contains over 20,000 cubic meters (yards) of fill. There were also many dwellings, and at least three ball courts. Construction of the ball courts was begun by 750 BC.〔Snow, Dean R. "Archaeology of Native North America." Prentice Hall, New York: 2010. p. 117.〕 The Hohokam were the first people to practice irrigated agriculture in the region. The remnants of their irrigation canals are part of the historic site.
