Abstract
Macaws (Ara sp.) are known from prehistoric sites throughout much of the Southwest. These birds have particular importance as indicators of trade routes between the Southwestern pueblos and the cultural centers to the south of the present Arizona border. The natural range of the macaws is some 200 miles south of the Arizona-Mexico border. An unusual occurrence of a macaw-child burial is reported as are 15 macaw skeletons that have been collected at the Grasshopper Ruin during the last 11 field seasons.
