Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) has completed archaeological testing at seven sites along a pipeline corridor at the request of the Salt River Project. Two of the sites, AZ U:10:2(ASM) and AZ U:14:74(ASM), are considered eligible to the National Register of Historic Places but required archaeological testing to determine the presence and extent of subsurface features within the project area prior to construction of the pipeline. The eligibility of the five remaining sites was unknown....

Eight archaeological sites were investigated within the new right-of-way for a distribution canal and flood control structure to serve the Harquahala Valley irrigation and Drainage District. The majority of the materials in these sites, all of which were mostly surface phenomena, appear to fate to the Archaic stage, a poorly understood time in the prehistoric record of the Southwest. Analysis of data recovered suggests that these sites were campsites used during seasonal exploitation of local...
