Summary

Archaeological testing was conducted on a portion of Crismon Pueblo (AZ U:9:173 [ASM]), the Denmark School site, and a segment of additional property between Gilbert Road and Thomas Road in the right-of-way of the Red Mountain Freeway (State Route 202) in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. The project area was originally covered with in-use citrus orchards. Therefore, prior to the initiation of fieldwork, tree removal was conducted within and adjacent to the right-of-way, which required monitoring.Testing consisted of the excavation, inspection, and documentation of 345 backhoe trenches to obtain information on the subsurface distribution of cultural deposits in the right of way and to develop eligibility recommendations for Crismon Pueblo (AZ U:9:173 [ASM]) and the Denmark School site for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Artifacts were collected from the modern ground surface and from the trench excavations as part of the fieldwork. At the time of this writing, artifact analysis was not yet complete. The integrity of cultural resources and the recommendations regarding those resources within the right-of-way is currently based only on field observations. Therefore, the recommendations for data recovery presented in this report are based on field observations only.
