In August of 2001, archaeologists explored an area located within the historic Presidio neighborhood of downtown Tucson. Previous testing of the two lots, in conjunction with research in area libraries, revealed that the area had been the home of two prominent Tucson lawyers and their families from the late 1880s to the 1910s (Wocherl 2001). Numerous artifact-filled features surrounded the foundations of two homes and had the potential for providing a large amount of information about the lives...

Recent archaeological investigations of foundations and anomalies encountered during a previous ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey at the Treviño-Uribe Rancho (41ZP97) provided insight into the lives of ranchers on the Spanish Frontier in the borderlands region. In 1820, Jesús Treviño was granted the land as part of the Nuevo Santander Colony (c. 1748-1835).  By 1830, Treviño constructed a one-room, fortified shelter as an outpost.  Additions to this structure created a...

Historic Block 94 was a scene of controversy in the late 1980s as the City of Tucson planned the demolition of the historic Catalina Hotel. An elevated highway was to pass the block, and the Catalina Hotel was in its path. This building served as housing for many of the town's indigent population, and its inexpensive rooms and sparse surroundings were much better than life on the streets. Advocates wanted to know what was to become of these people. At first, the preservationists failed. The...
