Itchallenges students to explore the risks and trade-offs made by prehistoric Hohokam communities related to geographic space, irrigation, cooperation, and trade networks. They...
The Tanque Verde High School Archaeological Project: Excavations at a Hohokam Limited Activity Site in the Northeastern Tucson Basin (2005)
Archaeological testing and data recovery at AZ B:9:360 (ASM), a Hohokam limited activity site in the northeastern Tucson Basin, resulted in the discovery of two roasting pits, an associated activity surface, and two large trash-filled pits. Botanical data suggest that the site was used for processing locally procured upper bajada wild plant resources as well as domesticated crops (maize). Chronometric data indicate a likely span of site use from the Rillito phase of the Colonial period to the...

Testing and Data Recovery at the Nance Site (AZ U:9:276[ASM]), Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona (2007)
The Nance Site was a seasonally occupied field house site located in the interior of the Salt River floodplain. Current evidence indicates that the site was sporadically occupied in the late Pioneer through the middle Classic periods. Stratigraphic evidence suggests a human presence in the general vicinity of the site during the Early Agricultural/Early Ceramic Periods; a single thermal pit (Feature 19) was found 1.4 m below the surface. The economic activities of the Hohokam inhabitants...

Testing Results and a Proposed Treatment Plan for Further Work on the Thompson Draw FLEX Project in Tonto National Forest, Gila County, Arizona (2001)
Test excavations were conducted at six sites to determine their National Register eligibility, prior to a land exchange. Three of the sites, AR-03-12-04-1397/AZ 0:12:81 (ASM), AR-03 -12-04-1403/AZ 0:12:82 (ASM), and AR-03-12-04-1521/AZ 0:12:85 (ASM), demonstrated low overall artifact density, small site size and an absence of subsurface features, and are therefore recommended as ineligible for National Register consideration. AR-03-12-04-13 85/AZ 0:12:80 (ASM) and AR-03-12-04-1449/AZ 0:12:83...
Their Own Road: Archaeological Investigations along State Route 260 (2012)
At first glance, the potential for sub-Mogollon Rim archaeology sites is not promising. This region, east of Payson and Star Valley, Arizona, is characterized by single-room masonry structures and artifact scatters covered with thick stands of manzanita and pine duff. Many artifact scatters are comprised solely of small pieces of flaked stone; others have pieces of plain brown ware ceramics that blend in easily with the ground cover. However, beneath these less-than-dramatic surface...
Their Own Road: Archaeological Investigations along State Route 260 Payson to Heber - Christopher Creek Section and Sharp Creek Campground (2014)
In this volume, the easternmost portion of the State Route (SR) 260 —Payson to Heber Archaeological project is described. Driving east from where the SR 260 project begins near Payson, Arizona, the environment changes from rolling hills and meadows to narrow ridges and perennial streams. There are few open areas as the road winds between the Mogollon Rim to the north and Christopher Mountain to the south. Prehistoric and historic sites are situated on the hills and terraces above the permanent...

Their Own Road: Archaeological Investigations along State Route 260 Payson to Heber-Kohls Ranch Section (2017)
The Kohls Ranch highway section lies at the center of the State Route (SR) 260 —Payson to Heber project area. This section also crosses a number of central places of the past. Here, near its headwaters, Tonto Creek is a mountain stream, whose terraces widen briefly near the highway before the canyon narrows into the Hells Gate Wilderness to the south. Indian Garden, a mile to the east, is a spring-fed meadow. Geology transitions in this area, as the topography created by the friable granites to...

The Museum of Northern Arizona developed a location analysis research design for Phase II archaeological investigations of the proposed transmission line corridor route for the Arizona Station Project. Through coupling this research design with a survey of sample archaeological units in the corridor areas, a projection of archaeological sensitivity was generated. This projection was based on a categorization of the total study areas in terms of environmental sensitivity to each. Variable for...
Third Addendum to A Cultural Resource Survey for State Route 303L (Loop 303), Maricopa County, Arizona (2007)
Using state funds, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will be constructing State Route 303L (SR 303L), in Peoria, Maricopa County. During design of this highway, it was determined that two additional right-of-way (R/W) parcels and three temporary construction easements (TCEs) are necessary for the construction of bridge features integral to the road and the expansion of a drainage basin. One of these parcels was surveyed as part of a separate undertaking; AZTEC surveyed the...
