The 243-mile preferred alignment of the proposed Mead to Phoenix ±500kV direct current transmission system was surveyed for archaeological resources by the Museum of Northern Arizona in the spring of 1984. Fifty-eight archaeological sites were identified on the alignment, plus 10 historic routes in areas crossed by the alignment. Seventeen of the sites are historic, dating from the 1860s to World War II. Forty-one prehistoric sites range in age from the late Archaic through the Ceramic period to...

An archaeological testing program was undertaken for Salt River Project (SRP) on a parcel of private land being considered as a site for a future SRP substation. The project area, which lies near the prehistoric Hohokam village of Las Canopas (AZ U:9:46 [ASU]), totals about 2.6 acres, just over three percent of which was sampled with a combination of systematically and judgmentally places backhoe trenches. No subsurface features were identified in any of the trenches, though a few prehistoric...

Test excavations were performed in the corridor of the East Papago Freeway between November 15 and December 19, 1988. The project area extends from the 52nd Street alignment at Washington Street to College Avenue and is divided into three segments: 52nd to 56th streets, 56th Street to Mill Avenue, and Mill Avenue to College Avenue. The project area is approximately 3 km in length and is located almost entirely within the active geological floodplain...

Desert Archaeology, Inc., has completed archaeological testing of a 2.2-acre site for the proposed Salt River Project (SRP) McReynolds Substation located in southern Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The work was initiated due to the possibility that archaeological remains associated with the Lombeye Ruin, AZ T:12:109 (ASM), a National Register-eligible site, may be present in the project area. Testing began on 25 May 2004, under the direction of Tiffany Clark, and was completed on 2 June 2004....

The City of Phoenix plans to install a 25 million gallons per day (MGD) sewer lift station, gravity sewer, and a water line within the City of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona (Figure 1). The gravity sewer will be constructed along Southern Avenue, between 55th and 75th Avenues. The lines for this facility will be located in a 25 m (82 ft) wide area that will extend, from east to west, roughly down the center of Southern Avenue (Figure 1). This sewer will terminate at a proposed 25 million...

This is a presentation from the 2021 Arizona Archaeological Council (AAC) Fall symposium on "The Archaeology of Canals in the Arizona Desert". As early as 1887 Hemenway visited the Salt River Valley and placed Pueblo Viejo on the map for the first time. Other antiquarians and early archaeologists proceeded to map and document the network of prehistoric Hohokam canals south of the Salt River, which connected Pueblo Viejo with other Hohokam villages and settlements. We briefly review these...

More than 1000 years ago, a people that archaeologists call the Hohokam first inhabited the deserts of what is now Arizona. They flourished for more than 70 generations in the lower Salt River Valley, the place where Phoenix now stands. Buried beneath the modern metropolis are the ruins of many aboriginal villages and a vast and elaborate irrigation network that may have watered 40,000 acres of cropland. (Jerry Howard completed this map, Figure 1, of the Hohokam irrigation canals and major...

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.

This is a presentation from the 2021 Arizona Archaeological Council (AAC) Fall symposium on "The Archaeology of Canals in the Arizona Desert". In arid and semi-arid regions, soil salinization and waterlogging are thought to cause agricultural infertility and social change. Although common in irrigation models and theories, empirical evidence supporting a primary causal link among salinization, waterlogging, and infertility has proved elusive. Proxies and indirect measures (e.g., soil...
