This is a presentation from the 2021 Arizona Archaeological Council (AAC) Fall symposium on "The Archaeology of Canals in the Arizona Desert". Recent data recovery operations conducted on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community by North Wind Resource Consulting (North Wind) resulted in two subsurface exposures of the Pima Lateral, an historic irrigation canal that served as the principal irrigation work for the early northside community prior to the creation of the Salt River Indian...

This project consists of zooarchaeological data from two Spanish mission sites on the land of the O'odham people located in what is now southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. This region was referred to by the Spanish as the Pimería Alta. Dozens of Spanish colonial missions were established in the Pimería Alta region beginning in the 1690s by Jesuit missionary Father Eusebio Kino. Missions were established within existing Native American communities. While the ostensible motivation for...

This document provides a Plan of Work for Phase 1 data recovery at AZ O:12:14 (ASM)/AR-03-12-04-075 (TNF) (referenced as AZ O:12:14/075 [ASM/TNF]). The Arizona Department of Transportation has requested that archaeological Phase 1 data recovery be conducted at the prehistoric and historic artifact scatter, O:12:14/75. This site, just west of the Preacher Canyon construction segment, will be impacted by construction of an access road to the Payson Wells site. The wells provide the water necessary...

During a recent survey of a proposed expanded right-of-way for the Coronado Coal Haul Railroad for Salt River Project (SRP) in Apache County, Arizona, SWCA, Inc. Environmental Consultants, recorded a prehistoric Anasazi habitation site, AZ Q:2:46 (ASM), that partially extends into the proposed right-of-way (Boden 1991). The site lies partially on State of Arizona and probably on private lands, and it can be found on the Ninemile Seep, Arizona, 1974 USGS topographic map in Township 18 North,...

The Arivaca Site (AZ DD:7:22) is located to the east of the town of Arivaca in southeastern Arizona at an elevation of 2600 feet. This site is located in a mesquite bosque, although the basin is ringed with oak wood land. Pollen samples were analyzed from the floor of Feature 1, the only structure excavated, as well as from a hearth and two pits within the structure, a single stratum within the midden, and two extramural roasting pits.Pollen analysis was clearly undertaken to identify elements...

Eighteen pollen samples were analyzed from the Blue Point Bridge Archaological Site, a large Hohokam habitation site. The site was permanently occupied during the Sacaton phase (AD 900-1100) and possibly toward the end of the Santa Cruz phase (AD 700-900). Five functionally distinct spatial components were identified and features from three of these components were analyzed for pollen. Pollen analysis was conducted to identify specific biotic resources used at the site. In addition, data...

The Houghton Road Site is located within the city limits of Tucson, Arizona immediately west of Houghton Road between Tanque Verde Road and Speedway Boulevard. It is situated on the flood plain at the convergence of the Tanque Verde and Agua Caliente washes. This Hohokam site has been archaeomagnetically dated to AD 400 to 600. Although it is a typical Hohokam site, some Mogollonlike architectural components are noted. This site includes large deep square houses, cremations and...

Six pollen samples were examined from two trenches at AZ T:4:35(ASM), New River Community Park. This large Hohokam site contains evidence of check dams and possible linear borders. Pollen analysis concentrated on identifying the presence of any cultigens associated with Check Dam 3 and Linear Border 3.

A single pollen sample collected from a pit (Feature 1) at AZ BB:6:50 (ASM), was analyzed for pollen. The site is located at an elevation of approximately 4000 feet on a bajada between Oracle and San Manuel to the northeast of Tucson. The area is heavily dissected. Pollen analysis was undertaken in an effort to define activities in the pit.

Seven pollen samples were examined from two sites in the Cave Creek Recreation Area of northern Maricopa County, Arizona. Rock alignments noted at AZ U:1:98 (ASM) and AZ U:1:100 (ASM) may have functioned as check dams, contour terraces or linear borders, retaining walls, diversions walls, rock piles, and/or rock-weighted brush berms. These areas exhibit no evidence of prehistoric canals, and are assumed to have been watered exclusively by hillslope runoff. Examination of pollen samples from...

Seven pollen and twenty-five macrofloral samples were examined from three features at the HorseWorld Site (AZ U:5:8(REC). This site contained a large rock cairn (Feature 1), that may be a trail shrine, as well as two smaller cairns. Ceramics recovered included mainly Santa Cruz red-on-buff, although a few possible Gila Butte sherds have also been recovered. This association places the site within the Colonial Period (700-900 AD). Pollen and macrofloral samples were examined to shed light...

Reclamation projects have involved collaborative efforts with two of Arizona’s largest Native American groups, the Navajo Nation and the Tohono O’odham Nation. Both involved construction of infrastructure to support traditional and cooperative farming. The Navajo Nation project involved the creation of an award-winning DVD of Navajo elders discussing traditional irrigation farming at Ganado, and the Tohono O’odham Nation project involved extensive testing prior to construction of new irrigation...

Studies of Hohokam irrigation systems undertaken in the past 5 to 10 years, particularly in the Phoenix Basin, have provided a wealth of new data to be studied and assimilated by archaeologists. Recently completed and ongoing projects have required archaeologists to ask new questions and to apply a variety of investigative techniques to better understand the complexities of Hohokam irrigation systems. It is important that archaeologists studying Hohokam irrigation systems evaluate the increasing...

Between 18 March and 12 April 1997, archaeologi­cal fieldwork was conducted at two sites in the Con­gress Street to Twenty-ninth Street segment of the Arizona Department of Transportation's Interstate 10 Corridor Improvement Project in Tucson, Arizona. Both sites are buried in the eastern Holocene terrace of the Santa Cruz River, directly opposite A-Mountain. In Locus 1 were stratified alluvial deposits containing features dating to the early Cienega phase (800-400 B.C.) and late Cienega phase...

The Salt River Project (SRP) is in the process of permitting a coal mining operation near Quemado, New Mexico which will provide coal for the Coronado Generating Station near St. Johns, Arizona. In order to move coal from the mine to the generating station, it will be necessary to construct approximately 45 miles of railroad. Obtaining the appropriate permits from the states of Arizona and New Mexico will require an assessment of biological resources along the proposed alignment. A major...
