Completion of Archaeological Fieldwork at the La Plaza Hohokam Village Site, AZ U:9:165(ASM), for the Tempe Transportation Center (2007)
The City of Tempe is building the Tempe Transportation Center adjacent to the Central Phoenix/East Valley Light Rail Transit Project that Valley Metro is constructing. The transportation center project includes construction of a “green” three-story building in the western part of the site and a bus plaza in the eastern part of the site adjacent to a transit station. Planning studies concluded that the construction of the transportation center could adversely affect a large Hohokam archaeological...
A Compositional Analysis of Plain Ware Pottery from Pueblo la Plata and Richinbar Ruin, Agua Fria National Monument, Arizona (2008)
Temper analysis of plain ware ceramics from Pueblo La Plata indicates that none of the pottery contains local sand. La Plata is located atop Perry Mesa in central Arizona, where basalt dominates the geology. Petrographic thin-section analysis confirmed the observation that basalt was not present, thereby implying that the tempering materials used to make the pottery were not locally obtained. Unless local potters went far afield to procure their temper, the pueblo residents probably obtained...

Consolidated Canal, Chandler Power Plant - AZ-55-B - Written Historical and Descriptive Data, Photographs (2023)
The Chandler Power Plant was constructed by the Consolidated Canal Company as a power source for supplemental groundwater production in the Southeast Salt River Valley. It also provided power to Tempe, Arizona and Mesa, Arizona. By World War I, the plant was incorporated into the SRP power system. The plant operations ceased in 1950. The Consolidated Canal was a relative latecomer to the southside canal system, and the water-rights claims made by earlier settlers took precedence over any...
Consolidated Canal, Old South Consolidated Power Plant - AZ-55-A - South side of the Salt River, Approximately two miles downriver from Granite Reef Dam, Mesa vicinity, Maricopa County, Arizona - Written Historical and Descriptive Data, Photographs (2023)
Portions of the power plant and waterway features remain at the site and have been incorporated into the Arizona Primate Institute. The Old South Consolidated Power Plant was the first of three low-head hydroelectric generating stations constructed in the Salt River Valley after operation of the SRP were taken over by the Salt River Valley Water Users Association. In the early part of the 20th century, the surface water to the Salt River Valley was not adequate enough to respond to the...
Consolidated Canal, South of the Salt River, Chandler Vicinity, Maricopa County, Arizona - AZ-55 - Written Historical and Descriptive Data, Photographs (2023)
The Consolidated Canal conveys water for agricultural, municipal and industrial uses south of the Salt River. In addition, the canal right-of-way is utilized for three separate and distinct city recreation thoroughfares. The Consolidated Canal played a crucial role in the development of agriculture in the Salt River Valley, the early evolution of the city of Chandler, and the unification of the Salt River Project’s consolidated southside canal system. Historic portions of the canal featured...

The COP Archaeology Office reviewed this project and provided recommendations in a January 10, 2007 Archaeological Assessment Form. The COP Archaeology Assessment notes that two prehistoric archaeological sites (P:2:8 [GP] and AZ T:12:148 [ASM] / La Villa) are partially located within the project area, a third site (AZ T:12:21 [PG]) is located within 250 ft. of the project area, and several prehistoric canals are also plotted within the project area. The COP Archaeology Office recommended that...
Corner Construction and Possible Construction Sequence for Room Blocks in Richinbar Ruin on Black Mesa at Agua Fria National Monument (2007)
Prior research as a part of the Legacies on the Landscape project has addressed architectural issues at Richinbar Ruin. In the spring of 2005, Karen Schollmeyer wrote a paper, Architecture Studies at Richinbar Ruin, which outlined the rationale for and the results of study into how Richinbar was built. Since that time, changes due to both wild fires and seasonal variation potentially made possible the acquisition of improved data in the same area. The purpose of this study was to obtain that...
The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: A Description of Ceramic Collections from the Railroad and Transmission Line Corridors (1982)
During 1974-1978, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an extensive archaeological mitigation program for the Salt River Project prior to the construction of the Coronado Generating Plant near St. Johns, Arizona, and its energy corridors, the Coronado-Silver King Transmission Line and the Coronado Coal-Haul Railroad. Ceramic material from those corridors was separated from remaining project data and reported on herein. Over 148 ceramic-bearing sites produced a wide range of decorated and...
The Coronet Real Project: Archaeological Investigations on the Luke Range, Southwestern Arizona (1979)
This report deals with the investigation of three prehistoric archaeological sites on the North: the portion of Range 1, Luke Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range. These sites were located within the impact area of facilities associated with the Coronet Real Project, a target construction and rebuilding operation. Largest of the three was AZ Y:8:3 which was cut by a proposed road right-of-way; investigation indicated that it was a Patayan I site with some later Classic period utilization, AZ...
The Cortaro Road Site: 2800 Years of Prehistory in the Northern Tucson Basin (2005)
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...
Cosmological Practice and Social Complexity in North and Central Mexico (2007)
To our minds the most interesting issue that emerges from juxtaposing the cosmologies of northern and central Mexico is the relationship between cosmology and social complexity. The regions were historically related and shared both broad structures many details of cosmology. Yet Central Mexican societies had undergone an urban transformation that the societies of northern and western Mexico had not experienced. In our view there are scale-dependent regularities in the material expression of...
Cosmology in the New World
This project consists of articles written by members of Santa Fe Institute’s cosmology research group. Overall, the goal of this group is to understand the larger relationships between cosmology and society through a theoretically open-ended, comparative examination of the ancient American Southwest, Southeast, and Mesoamerica.
Cosmos Mindeleff
Cosmos Mindeff reported on the stabilization and preservation activities at Casa Grande Ruins in 1891 in the Thirteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. This work is the first known incident of the federal government actively preserving a prehistoric site. Casa Grande Ruins was established as the first cultural preserve the following year in 1892. Additional documents within this project include maps, correspondence, and references related to this work.
