Archaeological Monitoring Within the Area by Broadway Road for a Water Main Replacement and Fire Hydrant Installation Project in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona

Summary

The COP Archaeology Office reviewed the APE and provided recommendations in a November 28, 2007 Archaeological Assessment. The assessment notes that historic Salt River Project Lateral 6.0, a segment of the San Francisco Canal, is located within the eastern half of the APE. A historic structure, the Progressive Builders Association building (listed on the City of Phoenix Historic Property Register), is adjacent to the southwestern corner of the APE. In addition, prehistoric canals cross the APE, one of which was archaeologically verified immediately to the south of the APE at AZ T:12:192 (ASM). This site consists of Hohokam structures, a canal, and a roasting pit. The COP Archaeological Office recommended that archaeological monitoring be conducted within 50 ft (15 m) of prehistoric canals and within 250 ft (76 m) of AZ T:12:192 (ASM). The combined monitoring areas encompassed about 1,512 ft (460 m) of fire hydrant and waterline trenches. No prehistoric or historic features were found as a result of the monitoring. As such, it is recommended that the project had no adverse effect on any National Register of Historic Places-eligible properties.
