In 2010, Archaeology Southwest (formally the Center for Desert Archaeology) conducted a condition and damage assessment of 96 prominent, late precontact archaeological sites on the Tonto National Forest (TNF, Forest) in central Arizona. Field inspections were performed to examine the current condition of sites, record the degree, type, and relative age of observed damage (if any), identify potential factors affecting site condition and damage and, in light of this information, develop...

Tonto National Monument, in the Tonto Basin of central Arizona, contains two well-known cliff dwelling sites: the Upper Ruin (AZ U:8:49 [ASM]) and the Lower Ruin and South and North Annex (AZ U:8:47 [ASM]). The integrity of both of these sites, but particularly the Upper Ruin, is threatened by natural deterioration and continued ground disturbance from rodent and water action. Mitigating these disturbances may entail subsurface archaeological excavation in future years. The research design...

The strata represent major natural or cultural depositional events such as erosional fill, roof fall, floor contexts, and sterile substrate. Strata are depicted as horizontal rows of interconnected boxes on a Harris Matrix. Within a feature, each stratum is designated by the feature number (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.) and a letter that designates a particular stratum (e.g., A, B, C). The letters are assigned in descending order. Mixed levels and artifacts collected out of context are designated by a...
