The St. Mary's site (AZ AA: 16:26) has almost been destroyed by construction and inundated by modem refuse. It has long been a favorite haunt for local pothunters, but very little systematic archaeological work was ever conducted there. Nevertheless, several small collections of maize and tepary beans were preserved in the collections of the Arizona State Museum. These maize kernels come from both flour and flint varieties. Although the St. Mary's corn dates to around A.D. 900, it is essentially identical to types grown by the Papago in the early 1900s
