For this project, MNA will analyze and publish materials from the Erich Schmidt collection currently housed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Reclamation sees this research as an opportunity to obtain currently unavailable information about Schmidt's work in the Tonto Basin. This will help us with our mitigation planning for data recovery studies in conjunction with the planned modification of Roosevelt Dam. The papers which will be given are the results of data recovery...

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.

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...

Salt River Project (SRP) maintains the 500-kilovolt (kV) Coronado to Silverking transmission line that traverses the Tonto National Forest (TNF), Gila County, Arizona. To control encroaching vegetation, SRP plans to employ the use of a Slashbuster® - a brush cutting and mulching device mounted onto heavy excavating equipment. The proposed action, which has the potential to impose adverse impacts upon cultural resources, requires permitting from TNF and, as such, is an undertaking subject to...
