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...

In 1985 the Center for Desert Archaeology, Inc. conducted archaeological investigations at the Cienega site, AZ BB:9:143 (ASM), and site AZ BB:9:44 (ASM), in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. These investigations were sponsored by Cienega Properties, Inc., and archaeological testing, mapping, and excavations were conducted prior to the residential development of the area. This report documents the results of this study and focuses primarily on the Hohokam remains of the Cienega...

Between October 2000 and January 2003, Desert Archaeology, Inc., conducted archaeological investigations at seven locations for the City of Tucson as part of the Rio Nuevo Archaeology project. The City of Tucson plans to revitalize the downtown area, including the re-creation of the historic San Agustín Mission and the Spanish Presidio fortress, as well as the construction of new homes and businesses. Excavations were conducted to either provide basic data for planned reconstructions, or to...

This report presents the results of archaeological data recovery and analysis for the Archer site, AZ P:4:22 (ASM), located on the north bank of the Little Colorado River, near Holbrook, Arizona. The work was conducted by Statistical Research, Inc. (SRI), to mitigate the adverse impacts of building an earthen levee on and adjacent to the site. The proposed levee is a water-control feature that is intended to protect the residents of Holbrook from periodic flooding of the Little Colorado River....

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...
