Faunal Analysis for Phase II Data Recovery at Pozos de Sonoqui/AZ U:14:49 (ASM) Within the Proposed Alignment of Riggs Road (2018)
A total of 3,757 faunal fragments was recovered from Phase II data recovery investigations at Pozos de Sonoqui, AZ U:14:49(ASM). The project area is situated within saltbush communities bordered by creosote-bursage with pockets of denser, shrubbier vegetation associated with drainages and areas along nearby Queen Creek, Sonoqui Wash, and the Gila River; irrigation canals were present prehistorically and upland resources are also located in proximity to the site (Chenault and Stubing 2012). The...
The Hohokam Culture as Related to Other Southwestern Culture (1962)

The Lower Verde Archaeological Project
The Lower Verde Archaeological Project (LVAP) was a four-year data recovery project conducted by Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI) in the lower Verde River region of central Arizona. The project was designed to mitigate any adverse effects to cultural resources from modifications to Horseshoe and Bartlett Dams. The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Arizona Project’s Office sponsored the research program in compliance with historic preservation legislation. The LVAP’s...
The Middle Gila Basin: An Archaeological and Historical Overview (1982)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP) , Indian Distribution Division (IDD) is designed to deliver allocated CAP water to Indian users. The Middle Gila Basin Overview is the initial cultural resources planning study for the system. It summarizes and evaluates the extant data in an area 3,570 square miles (9,139 sq km) large, centered on the Gila River. The data suggests that archaeological sites in this area are numerous and varied, but most of all poorly-studied despite 100 years of research. A...
Middle Gila Basin: An Archaeological and Historical Overview (1982)
The Central Arizona Project (CAP), Indian Distribution Division (IDD) is designed to deliver allocated CAP water to Indian users. The Middle Gila Basin Overview summarizes and evaluates the known cultural resources in an area 3,570 square miles (9,139 sq km) large, centered on the Gila River. A critical review of past research suggests that many of the concepts and theories used to describe and explain the past in the study area are suspect, that physical and biotic zonation in the study area...

Prehistoric Painted Pottery of Southeastern Arizona (2000)
Statistical Research, Inc., was contracted in 1996 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a variety of tasks pertinent to collections of prehistoric ceramics from archaeological work conducted on Fort Huachuca Military Reservation located in southeastern Arizona. The bulk of the contract consisted of two tasks—teaching a class on the ceramics and prehistory of southeastern Arizona and preparing a guide to prehistoric pottery found at sites in this region of the American Southwest. The...
A Sample Survey: Cultural Resources On Potential Agricultural Development Lands On the Gila River Indian Reservation (1984)
In 1982, Northland Research, Inc. performed a small fraction sample survey of potential agricultural development lands on the Gila River Indian Reservation. The sample was selected probabilistically. Results suggest that, within the probability limits of the sampling design, as much as 59,687 ± 21,272 acres of land within the 296,320 acre target area could contain significant archaeological remains requiring attention in any future development plan. In addition, it was possible to calculate...
Southern Arizona the Last 12,000 Years: A Cultural-Historic Overview for the Western Army National Guard Aviation Training Site (1994)
This report presents an overview of the prehistoric and historic archaeological resources in the proposed Western Army National Guard Aviation Training site (WAATS) in south-central Arizona prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District (COE). The purpose of this overview was to provide WAATS with a Class I Survey representing the initial step in the assessment of potential impacts to cultural resources in this large region as a result of helicopter over flights and landings...
A Survey of the Stone Comples of Southern Arizona: As Shown Through Material Excavated by the Los Angeles Museum (1988)
Stylistic analyses of sherds have formed the basis of some reconstructed patterns of prehistoric regional interaction without adequately addressing potential factors that affect stylistic variation. The archaeological problem of identifying factors that affect stylistic variation is addressed using the results of functional and stylistic analyses of Red-on-buff vessels. The attributes of vessel size and shape, thickness of painted lines, and design diversity are used to inform on the scale of...
Vanishing River Volume 4: Chapter 04: An Overview of Research History and Archaeology of Central Arizona (1997)

The author's goal is to situate the LVAP research in the context of central Arizona archaeology. Whittlesey provides histories of the research that has been conducted in the Verde drainage, the Tonto Basin, the Agua Fria drainage, and the Phoenix Basin. She concludes with a summary of the research trajectories and the different explanatory models applied to central...
