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...

This is the final report of the Vekol Hills Archeological Project. The project was done to lessen the impact of proposed open pit copper mining on archeological resources within an area of the Papago Indian Reservation, Pinal County, Arizona. Archeological resources comprise the remains of Reward Mine, another turn-of-the-century mining camp, and a Papago camp of the same period. A program of data recovery, including mapping, surface collection, and excavation, was undertaken during 1979 in...

Archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center (WACC), National Park Service (NPS), conducted an archeological data recovery project at Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) as part of the Light-Rail Corridor Project (LRCP). The LRCP is a proposed rapid transportation system intended to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists visiting the South Rim. The project included data recovery at 18 previously recorded historical sites, most of which are associated with the...

A number of archeological surveys and excavations have been carried out within Saguaro National Monument near Tucson, Arizona, over the years, but the field work generally has been neither problem-oriented nor carried out in accordance with a suitable research design. Much of it, therefore, must be considered incomplete in terms of modern archeological theory and methods. Archeological activity both inside and outside the monument, however, has resulted in delineation of the cultural history for...

I n the eighteenth century, Jesuits pioneered Spain's attempts to colonize and missionize the northern Pimeria Alta. Guevavi, first established by Father Eusebio Kino at a populous Piman village in 1691, was to be the first and principal mission of Spain's northern frontier in what is now Arizona. Beginning in 1701 tenacious Jesuit and later Franciscan missionaries attempted to establish permanent residency at the village. But the cumulative effects of Apache raids, food shortages, Piman...

Archeological inventory survey was conducted in the Shivwits Plateau unit of Lake Mead National Recreation Area by archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center. The survey was designed to examine areas subject to impact from park service and visitor activities and areas with the potential for high site density. Fieldwork was conducted from May 24 to July 21, 1990. A total of 1,469 acres was surveyed along road corridors, adjacent to the Shivwits Fire Camp and at canyon...

The study of prehistoric mortuary practices in the American Southwest is undergoing tremendous change in the new millennium. The challenges (and opportunities) of NAGPRA implementation, declines in the number of large samples being excavated, and loss of data from previously excavated samples have altered mortuary archaeology in the region. Given this state of affairs, the development of an integrated regional database of prehistoric mortuary practices is imperative. This session at the 76th...

Of the many valleys in the southern desert of Arizona, the prehistoric Hohokam concentrated the largest and greatest of their communities in the Phoenix basin. It was here that they constructed the most elaborate and extensive of their canal networks. Their success drew on two unique characteristics of the basin environment. The first was the Salt River; the most competent and consistent source of water in the southern desert, it surpasses five-fold the volume and capacity of the Gila River to...

This volume presents the results of a set of diverse studies into special data sets from the site of La Ciudad. La Ciudad is one of the large Hohokam ruins within the network of prehistoric irrigation canals in the Phoenix basin (Figure A). It lies on the north side of the Salt River, midway along a canal system that originates at Pueblo Grande and extends a distance of seven miles to Las Colinas. La Ciudad is composed of multiple loci dispersed along the banks of four canals, and covers about...

The Spirit of the Wilderness Archeological Survey in Petrified Forest National Park was a three year long cultural resources inventory of more than 9,000 acres of the Petrified Forest National Park wilderness begun in July, 2003 and concluded in June of 2005. Identification and recording of previously undocumented sites was conducted in four separate field sessions, each lasting for three or four weeks. In total, 6,735 acres were surveyed in the Rainbow Forest Wilderness Area. In the Painted...

Studies of the architecture of Pueblo La Plata, particularly room construction sequences, formed one component of the Legacies on the Landscape project research in 2004. The goals of this portion of the project were to improve our understanding of how the pueblo was built, and to gain a sense of population size and changes over time. In particular, we wished to determine whether a sizeable core area of rooms (representing the first construction phase of the pueblo) was visible, and whether the...
