Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 12, Gateway and 44th Streets: Kitchell Development Testing Project
Pueblo Grande Unit 12 (Gateway Lot 4 at the southeastern corner of Gateway Blvd and 44th Streets) is a 3.8 ac parcel that was scheduled for commercial development in 1997. The parcel is located less than 300 ft (91 m) northeast of Unit 7 of the prehistoric site of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)), where archaeological features including burials had been encountered (Breternitz et al. 1990). Because of its proximity, there was a likelihood that archaeological remains including burials would also be...

The data recovery fieldwork was preceded by a two-phase testing project (SSI Project No. 97-08) designed to identify and locate subsurface cultural remains. Phase 1 testing...
Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Unit 15, Washington and 48th Streets: Soil Systems, Inc. Lauth Property Group Data Recovery Project
From February to April 2007, Soil Systems archaeologists completed an archaeological data recovery and burial removal project (SSI Project No. 06-03) on a parcel of land (Unit 15) along the east side of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)). SSI performed the archaeological clearance for the Lauth Property Group, LLC.

The Racetrack Project
Between A.D. 1250 and 1450, a large number of ceremonial racetracks were built at and between villages in north-central Arizona. This assemblage began as a relatively dispersed collection, stretching from the Sedona area down to Cave Creek and from the Bradshaw Mountains to the Mazatzal Wilderness. Over time, the racetrack network grew in intensity but became spatially focused atop Perry Mesa, along the middle Agua Fria River. In conjunction with the Legacies on the Landscape Project and...
Salt-Gila (Fannin-McFarland) Aqueduct Central Arizona Project Mapping and Assessment
The Bureau of Reclamation has developed an archaeological site database for the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal main stem based on the Class III survey data that includes all previously recorded sites. An unknown number of these sites were either destroyed by construction or excavation, while others are no longer located within the CAP right-of-way (ROW). To assist Reclamation in checking the accuracy of its site database, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) was asked to revisit a...
Southwest Mortuary Database Project: 2011 SAA E-Session: Mortuary Practices in the American Southwest: Meta-Data Issues in the Development of a Regional Database
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...
Survey and Recovery and Analysis of Human Remains Along a Portion of an SRP Lateral in Greenwood Cemetery, Phoenix, Arizona
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) identified a possible prehistoric Hohokam cremation eroding from the bank of an unlined Salt River Project (SRP) irrigation lateral that traverses a modern cemetery in central Phoenix. It was thought that two additional burial pits might be present in the lateral, but only the above-mentioned possible cremation was currently affected by erosion. The possible burial was discovered earlier in the year and was monitored by a Reclamation archaeologist while...
Survey for Pinnacle Park at Reach 11 of the Central Arizona Project
The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to create a park along Reach 11 of the Central Arizona Project, on land which is managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) was previously surveyed 20 years earlier. The City of Phoenix Archaeology Office requested that this land be re-surveyed and that the location of site AZ T:8:53(ASU) be examined due to its proximity to the APE.
