Approximately 600 acres of additional right-of-way in Reach 3 were surveyed in late 1983 and early 1984. Fourteen new sites were identified, of which nine received ASM site numbers. The remaining five sites were not given an ASM site number, but merit reevaluation for assignment of a site number. This supplemental survey has altered considerably an earlier view of prehistoric occupation in Reach 3 that resulted from the original 1982 survey of the reach. Reach 3 now appears to pass through a...

Sonoran Solar is proposing to construct, operate, and decommission a solar-powered electrical generation facility in Maricopa County, Arizona. The Sonoran Solar Energy Project was originally proposed as a 375-megawatt dry-cooled Concentrated Solar Thermal energy generation plant located on 3,620 acres of BLM-managed lands in Maricopa County, Arizona. Because the proposed project was on federal land, the BLM completed a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) and issued a Record of Decision...

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) identified a possible prehistoric Hohokam cremation eroding from the bank of an unlined Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation lateral that traverses a modern cemetery in central Phoenix. It was thought that two additional burial pits might be present in the lateral, but only the above-mentioned possible cremation was currently affected by erosion. The possible burial was discovered earlier in the year and was monitored by a Reclamation archaeologist while...

The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to create a park along Reach 11 of the Central Arizona Project, on land which is managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) was previously surveyed 20 years earlier. The City of Phoenix Archaeology Office requested that this land be re-surveyed and that the location of site AZ T:8:53(ASU) be examined due to its proximity to the APE.

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...

Irrigation agriculture has been heralded as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. To this end, irrigation agriculture is both extensifying and intensifying in arid regions across the world in an effort to create highly productive agricultural systems. Over one third of modern irrigated fields, however, show signs of serious soil degradation, including salinization and waterlogging, which threaten the productivity of these fields and the world’s food supply. Surprisingly, little...

Between 1989 and 1993, the Bureau of Reclamation funded four archaeological projects in Tonto Basin of central Arizona, all associated with the modification of the Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The projects were assigned different research objectives and were conducted by separate research teams. The Roosevelt Bajada Survey (RBS) was a sampling survey by SWCA Inc. of portions of the bajada and foothills surrounding Tonto Basin. The Roosevelt Rural Sites Study (RRSS) conducted by Statistical Research...

The tables included here accompany an article published in the Kiva in 2020 by Henry D. Wallace titled "Dating Snaketown." The tables provide ceramic dates for contexts excavated by Emil Haury and Gila Pueblo (Haury 1976; Gladwin et al. 1937) at Snaketown (AZ U:13:1 ASM) using the ceramic types developed from the 1998 and 2004 seriations and compares the new dates with those assigned by previous researchers.
