At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations in two 200 ft. wide corridors east-northeast of St. Johns, Arizona. Archaeological survey was conducted in order to determine if any archaeological material would be negatively impacted as a result of drilling operations related to tests being conducted for construction of an evaporation pond associated with the Coronado Generating Station plant site. An extensive historic and prehistoric...

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an intensive survey of the proposed Coronado-Concho Wellfield Distribution transmission line in two phases: 1) a preliminary survey of the entire line (0.75 mi.), and 2) a specific inspection of over 18 pole locations. Three sites have been recorded within the project area. The direct impact of the proposed construction is insignificant; however, the indirect impact of vehicular traffic is considerable. Provisional clearance is recommended.

At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological survey of a proposed 500kV transmission line between the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (near Wintersburg, Arizona) and the Kyrene Substation (near Tempe, Arizona). During survey of the 73.3 mi right-of-way, evidences of historic and prehistoric activity were recorded at 10 sites and 43 loci of isolated artifacts or features. With few exceptions, all identified remains could be assigned to the...

On March 17, 1978, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological survey of two land parcels in Tonto National Forest proposed by The Salt River Project for construction of the Silverking Substation and an associated microwave repeater station. Only one previously recorded site, NA14,132, was observed. Since the site probably post-dates 1948 and contains virtually no significant archaeological data, archaeological clearance for the two land parcels is recommended.

The research plan outlines a framework for investigating 3 archaeological sites along the Silverking-to-Kyrene, East End, Transmission Line, a part of the Coronado Project. The 3 sites, initially recorded during a recent survey by the Museum of Northern Arizona, are a large lithic scatter associated with linear rock alignments, a possible 1-room structure associated with linear rock alignments, and an abandoned railroad grade. The plan discusses specific means by which the scientific potential...

At the request of the Salt River Project the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological survey of State of Arizona lands to be impacted by the construction of the proposed Coronado Brown-Greer Wellfield access road approximately 8 mi west of St. Johns, Arizona. Only that potion of the proposed access road transecting State land was intensively surveyed. Since no archaeological or historic sites or materials were observed during the investigation, archaeological clearance can be...

On December 1-3, 1975, a Museum of Northern Arizona archaeologist conducted clearance investigations at the request of the Salt River Project. The project encompassed four test areas where drill borings are to be taken in anticipation of determining the exact location and dimensions of a proposed ash disposal evaporation pond, retaining dam, and borrow pits. This project is part of the construction program for the Coronado Generating Station. The results of the survey and recommendations for...

Between July 10 and July 15, 1977, 3.88 miles of right-of-way expansion was surveyed along the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad approximately 18 miles north of St. Johns, Arizona. One prehistoric site was found, a large sherd and lithic scatter of the Cibola Anasazi culture. It is recommended that the portion of the site within the expanded right-of-way be mapped and recorded.

On September 22, 1977 and October 12, 1977, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted clearance surveys in the Patterson Wellfield adjacent to the main plant site of the Coronado Station. Well sites P-10 and P-3, and an access road between them, were inspected thoroughly. A proposed well site P-9 and an access road from it to well site P-10 were partially covered in reconnaissance. The Museum recommends clearance only for well sites P-10 and P-3 and their access road.

Report Abstract: Archaeological excavations were undertaken during 1987 at The Susquehanna site (18ST399), located at the mouth of the Patuxent River in St. Mary's County, Maryland. The Susquehanna house, believed to date to the first half of the 19th century, had been moved to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in 1942, where it is now a part of the exhibits there. The purpose of these excavations, funded by the Edison Institute of the Henry Ford Museum, was to recover information...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Recovery of maize cobs as part of the archaeological record yields a rich potential for discerning connections between people, places, and through time. Started almost three decades ago, the study of maize cob phytolith morphometrics has now produced a sufficient dataset for comparison of phytoliths from reference cobs spanning ancient varieties and more...
