Archaeological Consulting Services Ltd. (ACS) conducted limited testing at seven archaeological sites in Apache County at the request of Dr. Judy Brunson of Salt River Project (SRP). The project was conducted to assess the presence of subsurface deposits and features at these sites, and to evaluate whether these sites would be adversely impacted by the proposed 100 ft (30.48 m) to 200 ft (60.96 m) widening of the existing coal haul railroad corridor (Figure 1). The seven sites are located on...

An archaeological testing program was undertaken for Salt River Project on two sites as part of the widening project of the Coronado Coal Haul Railroad. The project areas combined, total slightly less than one acre. Seven trenches were placed, systematically and judgementally, within the two sites. Prior to the digging of trenches, however, surface artifacts were collected from 4 x 4 m grid units, placed directly over the backhoe trenches. Surface artifact distributions were used in defining...

This overview describes the natural environment of Canyon de Chelly National Monument and summarizes the ways in which it has been used by successive populations. A discussion of the ways in which past environmental conditions may have differed from those of the present and the implications of such differences for the inhabitants of the monument is included. A cultural sequence extending from a Basketmaker II occupation at about AD 300 to the modern Navajo occupation is described; the...

During 1988 and 1989, archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center conducted data recovery excavations at Puerco Ruin, Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. Puerco Ruin is the remains of a 100-plus-room pueblo dating to the late Pueblo III to middle Pueblo IV periods. The data recovery, conducted to mitigate the effects of proposed visitor facilities at the site, included surface collection, excavation, and analysis. In addition, over 1,000 rock art elements...

Although Petrified Forest National Park was set aside as a natural park, it is an archeological gold mine, with over 300 sites recorded in the southern half alone. The sites exhibit an unbroken culture history sequence from the Archaic period until shortly before the arrival of Europeans in that part of the Southwest. They contain information about the change from hunting and gathering to agriculture, relationships between the environment and settlement pattern, relationships between major...

As a result of the Salt River Project consultant's meeting on June 18, 1974, additional, more current information on the Arizona Station Project was made available to the Museum of Northern Arizona. Because of this, it was decided that the archaeological recommendations for the project should be reviewed and re-submitted. This report discusses the new developments and presents the basis for conclusions made regarding the archaeological assessments.

The initial Phase I investigation for the Salt River Project 1978 Power Plant Study has been completed. This report presents that data which was collected during library research and actual field reconnaissance and is intended to offer a background on the archaeological and ethno-historical resource base of the two proposed areas being considered for plant site and wellfield location. A discussion of the possible impacts with alternatives to these is also included. The report includes...

Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) requested that Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) perform a Class III cultural resources survey related to a proposed well and pipeline construction project associated with the SRP Coronado Generating Station in St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona. The project area is located east of US 191 and southwest of the SRP Coronado Generating Station. Most of the pipeline corridor is on SRP-owned land; however, it also includes a small...

LSD surveyed approximately 84 acres of SRP-owned land to identify, document, and evaluate cultural resources for their National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility; however, this project is not a Federal undertaking and no consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is required at this time. Recommendations for the treatment or avoidance of sites are offered for future management considerations. The survey resulted in the discovery of 1 previously recorded...

Archeological work conducted during the summers of 1985 and 1986 produced much new data which was badly needed to update our perceptions of Petrified Forest prehistory. A total of 120 sites along the park boundaries and in the developed areas were recorded, many of them for the first time. Surveys to fulfill compliance requirements prior to installation of a new water system (NPS Package No. Ill) and developed area surveys provided data on prehistoric land use and settlement patterns in...

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations for the Salt River Project near St. Johns, Arizona. The excavation of 18 sites yielded architectural, ceramic, and lithic evidence in support of a general Anasazi cultural pattern. Nine sites showed definite ceramic affiliation with the Cibola Anasazi. The entire data base provides much additional information about the prehistory of east-central Arizona, specifically the Upper Little Colorado River Valley.

In the mid-1970s, the Salt River Project, a public utility in Arizona, contracted with the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) to provide archaeological clearance for 148 miles of railroad and transmission line right-of-way in northeastern Arizona prior to actual construction. The project area is roughly bounded by St. Johns and Springerville to the south, and Holbrook and Navajo to the north. Those settlements also help define the western and eastern boundaries of the project area. MNA...

Intensive archaeological field investigations along the Coronado-Silver King Transmission Line (North End) began in September, 1976. These investigations were conducted by the Museum of Northern Arizona under contract with the Salt River Project. Forty-six sites along the transmission line route required mitigation procedures; site recording, collection, testing, and excavation were conducted as appropriate. Subsequent laboratory analysis confirmed a number of impressions resulting from the...

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological investigation and mitigation program near St. Johns, Arizona, in an area proposed as the site for ash disposal and evaporation pond facilities associated with the Coronado generating station, then under construction. The archaeological survey located 33 sites, including Archaic and Pueblo period camps and residences, stone quarry locations, and several historic period sites. An attempt is made to place all sites within a broad temporal...

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...

The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. The Coronado Project provided a rare opportunity to revisit and further explore previously investigated sites, thus generating modifications to some previous interpretations and perceptions. In Volume 3, a synthesis of the project data, project authors examine architecture and chronology, review ceramics in a regional context, and assess settlement data....
