Two primarily historic period sites were tested within the 1-10 corridor improvement right-of- way. The Embankment site, AZ BB:13:159 (ASM), is literally eroding out of the 1-10 embankment on the east side of the interstate. It was found to contain a basalt foundation with a possible preserved basement, and it may be the remains of a historic habitation. The El Dumpé site, AZ BB:13:110 (ASM), is a large mounded trash deposit located on both sides of the interstate, dating from the 1930s through...

Monitoring within the boundary of AZ BB:13:74 (ASM) for the installation of a cellular monopole led to the discovery of a previously undocumented locus at the site. Subsurface features and artifact deposits were uncovered during the excavation of an electric line trench for the cellular monopole. Six features were identified in the trench-three pithouses, two possible pithouses, and a small pit. Test excavations were conducted in two of the pithouses, revealing artifacts and features dating to...
