At the request of the Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona has inspected a series of coal exploration drill site locations on state and private lands in eastern Arizona and western New Mexico. A total of three archaeological sites was recorded during the course of the investigations. No archaeological materials are present on staked locations and access routes, although one drill site location and one access route were moved to avoid archaeological sites. Archaeological clearance...

On July 15, 1975, the Museum of Northern Arizona, at the request of the Salt River Project, surveyed a drill site location 4.5 mi. north of Concho, Arizona. Associated with this drill site were two observation sites and an access road. An archaeological site was recorded on one of the proposed observation sites, and it is recommended that this observation site be moved to avoid the archaeological remains. The remainder of the flagged areas are recommended for archaeological clearance.

The Concho Well Field Water Transmission Pipeline, constructed by the Salt River Project, originates in the Concho Well Fields just north of Concho, Arizona, and extends to the Coronado Generating Station Power Plant three miles north of St. Johns, Arizona. The pipeline route either impinges upon or crosses 15 prehistoric and historic sites, including two possible Archaic or Basketmaker lithic sites and two Spanish-American homesteads. These four sites provide the basis for most of the analysis...
