This report presents the results of archaeological investigations at 13 prehistoric sites located on the Santa Cruz Flats. The investigations were sponsored by the Bureau of Reclamation in order to mitigate the impact to prehistoric resources in the construction of the Central Arizona Irrigation and Drainage District, Central Unit II and III irrigation systems. These systems are located southwest of Interstate 10, south and west of Eloy, Arizona, south and east of Arizona City, Arizona, and...

This report is the third site description volume for the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study. This volume describes 52 Uplands Complex sites investigated by the Roosevelt Platform Mound Study. Excavations or surface collections were conducted at 32 of the sites. These sites were in four study units located in the bajadas and foothill-transition zone of the piedmont that surround and define the Tonto Basin. Although the four Uplands Complex study units are in separate localities, the term "uplands"...

PROJECT Benjamin Heckman. Bradley Russell. Matthew Kirk.

A Phase III Data Recovery Excavation was conducted at the Clinton and Lark Historic Archeological Site (A00140.004690) by Hartgen Archeological Associates, Inc. in July of 2020. The goal of the Project was to identify intact archeological deposits and features to excavate and record, as part of the mitigation effort. The Project entailed mechanical stripping of 156.6 m2 (1626 ft2, or 0.37 acres) as well as excavation and documentation of identified cultural features. Five features were...

A Chinese bakery was built in the 1920s on fill that enlarged the narrow strip of land on the southeast side of the Island of Ovalau in the Fijian Archipelago, on which much of the town of Levuka is built. Since the beach was narrow in this area, many of the first commercial structures were built on fill. Cultural deposits that appear to represent a midden behind the structure were examined to identify likely local vegetation at the time they accumulated, which is assumed to be associated with...

A Chinese house was built in the 1920s on fill that enlarged the narrow strip of land on the southeast side of the Island of Ovalau in the Fijian Archipelago, on which much of the town of Levuka is built. Since the beach was narrow in this area, many of the first commercial structures were built on fill. A bakery is located to the north of Charlie Wong’s house. Cultural deposits that appear to represent a midden behind the house, excavated in 2007, were examined to identify likely local...

This report documents data recovery excavations at the Elsinore site (CA-RIV-2798/H) which is located at the mouth of the outlet channel on the northeast side of Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California. The project was conducted by Statistical Research, Inc., under contract with the Los Angeles District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in order to mitigate the adverse effects caused by the construction of an enlarged outflow channel. Lake Elsinore is one of the only natural lakes in southern...

Part 3 presents the analyses of ecofacts. These studies provide the bridge between the environmental background provided in Part 2 and the material culture studies in Part 4. Ecofactual analyses are aimed at helping us understand subsistence patterns throughout prehistory. Both the paleobotanical studies and the faunal remains demonstrate 8,500 years of continuity.

Part 4 presents the analyses of artifacts. Worked bone and lithic analyses inform on technology, whereas shell ornaments and beads provide hints about the more personal aspects of prehistoric life. Although minor changes in material culture emerge, the clear pattern is 8,500 years on continuity. Combined with the analyses presented in Part 3, these chapters provide the data to interpret site structure and address many of the research issues outline in Part 2.

Part 5 synthesizes the information presented in the report and places the site in its regional context. Because the site provides considerable time depth, issues such as change in site structure and social organization are addressed. This part demonstrates the unique nature of the Elsinore site both from a culture history perspective and as a database for archaeological research. We use this high-information site to reevaluate prehistory and to explore the challenges hunter-gathers faced over...

Chinese immigrants began to arrive in large numbers in Wyoming Territory in 1869. Archaeological excavations from 1990 to the present are beginning to shed some light on how these immigrants structured their households and communities. We now have a clearer picture as to how scattered nineteenth century Chinese communities in southwestern Wyoming were linked together. The community ties that evolved benefited the immigrants in several ways. Here we will suggest that the household structures that...

In the mid-1970s, the Salt River Project, a public utility in Arizona, contracted with the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) to provide archaeological clearance for 148 miles of railroad and transmission line right-of-way in northeastern Arizona prior to actual construction. The project area is roughly bounded by St. Johns and Springerville to the south, and Holbrook and Navajo to the north. Those settlements also help define the western and eastern boundaries of the project area. MNA...

The results of investigations at 47 archaeological sites along the Coronado railroad corridor from St. Johns, Arizona, to Navajo, Arizona, are presented. Of the 47 sites, 14 were surface collected and recorded, 9 were tested, and 24 were excavated as fully as possible given the constraints of the impact corridor. Data contributing to the study of the Anasazi-Mogollon (Cibola) culture area are discussed in chapters on environment, architecture, ground stone, shell, and human skeletal remains. An...

Intensive archaeological field investigations along the Coronado-Silver King Transmission Line (North End) began in September, 1976. These investigations were conducted by the Museum of Northern Arizona under contract with the Salt River Project. Forty-six sites along the transmission line route required mitigation procedures; site recording, collection, testing, and excavation were conducted as appropriate. Subsequent laboratory analysis confirmed a number of impressions resulting from the...

The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. Volume 2 presents the analytical data for each artifact category and for the biological resources. Project authors examine the available resources, their acquisition, and the paleoeconomy in relation to the physical setting of the project area sites. They also present results of the human remains analyses, including a review of the remains recovered from...

The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. The Coronado Project provided a rare opportunity to revisit and further explore previously investigated sites, thus generating modifications to some previous interpretations and perceptions. In Volume 3, a synthesis of the project data, project authors examine architecture and chronology, review ceramics in a regional context, and assess settlement data....

Between November 9, 2001 and May 31, 2002, SWCA archaeologists conducted a series of testing and data recovery investigations at the Cortaro Road Site (AZ AA:12:232 (ASM)) for Arizona Pavilions Development in the Town of Marana, Pima County, Arizona. This work was conducted to comply with the Town of Marana's regulations for a grading permit. Archaeological features dating to the Early Agricultural (pre-San Pedro, San Pedro, Early Cienega, and Late Cienega phases) and Early Ceramic (Tortolita...
