The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations, The Specialists' Volume: Biocultural Analyses (1982)
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...
The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: Studies Along the Coal Haul Railroad Corridor (1986)
The results of investigations at 47 archaeological sites along the Coronado railroad corridor from St. Johns, Arizona, to Navajo, Arizona, are presented. Of the 47 sites, 14 were surface collected and recorded, 9 were tested, and 24 were excavated as fully as possible given the constraints of the impact corridor.

Two of the sites, Cottonwood Seep and...
Salt River Project Archaeological Clearance Investigations: Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad, Private, State, and Federal Lands, Apache County, Arizona: Appendix II: A Proposal for the Mitigation of 47 Archaeological Sites Located Within the Right-of-Way of the Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad (1976)
At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona has prepared a proposal and cost estimate for Phase III investigations along the proposed Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad. These Phase III investigations will consist of an impact mitigation program designed to recover that portion of the archaeological manifestations located within the right-of-way of the proposed Coal Haul Railroad. A total of 47 archaeological sites are recorded within the...
