This report summarizes the results of an archaeological mitigation project for a 30-ft-wide right-of-way for an access road to Tucson Water's new reservoir at the Julian Wash site, AZ BB:13:17 (ASM). This project uncovered a cluster of five pithouses and 36 related extramural features that date to the transition between the Middle and Late Rincon subphases in the Tucson Basin Hohokam chronology, about A.D 1070 to 1150. The cluster of pithouses is probably part of a larger house group arranged...

Bivalve and gastropod remains were excavated under the direction of Howard D. Winters during June 1961 at the Riverton Site, Illinois (11CW170). Remains were screened with unspecified mesh size; however, it is presumed that 1/4" mesh was used. Five 5 foot squares were excavated. Levels were excavated in 6" increments. Dr. Paul Parmalee analyzed the bivalves. Dr. Parmalee only recorded attributes for the following variables: taxon, and the number of identified specimens.

Unit 1 is a portion of a room located on the east end of the three contiguous rooms excavated to floor this field season. Unit 3 is directly west and Unit 2 is diagonally to the southwest. To the east is a badly looted room and the room to the north may be mostly intact. Unit 1 and the other two excavated units are located at the highest point on the block of rooms that forms the pueblo. We selected these rooms for excavation because we wanted to understand the construction sequence in the...

Unit 10 consists of a two story pueblo room near the center of Roadmap Village. No hearth or other domestic feature was encountered in Unit 10, suggesting that the room (or at least its first story) was not residential in nature. Vented V-seams were found in the north and east walls, suggesting some social connection between the residents of Unit 10 and those of the rooms to the east (not excavated) and north (Unit 7). A partially filled doorway was encountered in the room’s west wall. Unit 10...

Unit 101 is a trench excavated at Roadmap Village, LA 45157, during the 2008 field season of the Mimbres Prehistoric Landscapes Project. It exposes part of an outdoor plaza area (Locus 3) and part of a pueblo room (Locus 2). We excavated the trench in order to determine where the large northern plaza at the site articulated with the pueblo rooms to the south, information that would help us locate and define rooms to focus on for more complete excavation.

Unit 102 is a 1 m by 2 m test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project.This unit is situated as close to the center of the site's northern plaza as could be determined. The unit’s long axis was oriented to true north. The width of Unit 102 was eventually widened, forming a 2 m by 2 m area. Excavation encountered evidence of two temporal components. The earliest, represented by Surfaces C and C+, may constitute part...

Unit 105 is a test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project. The unit is located in the approximate center of the small plaza. This unit placement was chosen for two reasons: (1) identify any surfaces and/or features associated with the small plaza; and (2) determine the depth of the B horizon including the clay strata observed in Units 104 and 106 located in extramural areas to the west of the small plaza....

Unit 106 is a test unit excavated at Roadmap Village (LA 45157) during the 2012 field season of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project. The unit is in an extramural area located west of the most western roomblock within Roadmap Village. This unit placement was chosen for two reasons: (1) recover refuse associated with the roomblock that forms the western edge of the small plaza for relative dating and determining the activities associate with the western roomblock; and (2) determine the...

Unit 3 is located in the southern portion of the Roadmap site near the highest point on the rubble mound. Unit 3, along with other adjacent rooms, was selected for excavation for a number of key features. Firstly, unit 3 was located on the highest point on the rubble mound and would thus be the most likely two story section. Secondly, unit 3 was chosen for excavation because the west, south, and east walls were relatively well defined rock alignments on the surface. Two nearby rooms (unit 1 to...

Unit 4 is the western-most unit of the room block excavated at the site of LA45157 (Roadmap). The unit was selected to be excavated due to its location and relative completeness. Based on the visibility of wall alignments on the ground surface, four areas thought to be rooms at LA45157 were excavated during the 2007 field season. Surface depressions indicated that the site had suffered from extensive looting in the past, though is appeared that Units Three and Four were victim to less damage...

Unit 5 is a centrally located room and is the highest in elevation of the excavated units. In 2008, we selected rooms for excavation with surface indications of long occupations, hoping to find trash fill and a high number of artifacts. Ceramics, lithics, flotation, and faunal remains were collected from the excavated rooms in order to further understand the prehistoric landscape. The rooms selected for excavation during the 2008 field season were chosen due to their proximity to the plaza, the...

Unit 6 contains the eastern portion of a partially excavated, groundfloor room and portions of a second-story or roof level. This room is located on the southern edge of the pueblo’s northern plaza. In relation to other excavation units, Unit 6 lies immediately north of Unit 5 and shares its southern wall with that structure. Just east of Unit 6 is a room partially exposed in Unit 101, Locus 2. Unit 7 lies to the southeast of Unit 6. Prior to the discovery of the room in Unit 101 Locus 2, Unit 6...

Unit 7 at Roadmap Village is located on the south side of the main plaza and was selected for excavation not only because of its proximity to the plaza but also because it had little evidence of looter disturbance visible on the surface. Surface alignments suggested the presence of room walls, and therefore a well-preserved pueblo room, which also made the unit a good candidate for excavation. Boundaries were set for the west and north walls based on surface rock alignments, and the south...

Unit 8, excavated in the 2012 field season, measured 3.5 meters by 3.2 meters and consisted of the abandoned and collapsed remains of a two-story pueblo room. The room was located near the center of Roadmap Village just east of the smaller west plaza and north of Unit 1, which was excavated in 2007. The room was excavated 1.7 meters below the ground surface to its lowest cultural surface—the floor of the first story. Below this was 20cm of cultural fill on top of “sterile” or B-Horizon. A high...

Unit 9 is a two-story pueblo room located near the center of Roadmap Village and the presence of a well-preserved hearth in this room suggests it served a residential function. Unit 9 shares a wall with Unit 8, which is located directly south of it, and the northeast corner of Unit 9 is adjacent to the southwest corner of Unit 10. Similar to the other units excavated at Roadmap Village, Unit 9 was oriented slightly west of true north and the dimensions were 3.78m (N) by 3.83m (E) by 3.55m (S) by...

Units 103, 107, and 108 are 1x2m excavation units located in sheet trash near the north end of the site of Roadmap Village. South of these units, the northern arm of the pueblo consists of eight or more unexcavated rooms. The focus of our excavations in 2007, 2008, and 2012 was on pueblo rooms in the main roomblock, south of the main plaza; we know little about the rooms in the other roomblocks. Units 103, 107, and 108 were excavated in order to gain some insights about the northern roomblock,...
