Draft Copy Even for those involved, it is not easy to grasp or remember all that happened as part of the Central Arizona Water Study. This is partly because of the sheer size of the undertaking (at one point 19 different alternatives, with about three variations each, were being analyzed), partly because of the shifting objectives of the project, and partly because archaeology was only a small part of a very large multi-disciplinary study that lasted over 3 years. But, perhaps, closest to the...

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.

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...
