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,...

The Roosevelt Community Development Study (RCD) involved the testing and excavation of 27 sites in the Lower Tonto Basin of central Arizona. This is one of three related data recovery projects undertaken in the Tonto Basin for the Bureau of Reclamation prior to the raising of the Roosevelt Lake dam. The results of the RCD project are presented in four Anthropological Papers of the Center for Desert Archaeology: Anthropological Papers No. 12 is the research design; Anthropological Papers No. 13...

The RMPS Database is the centralized database for project information and for excavation and laboratory results. This relational database stores two primary data types and the relationships among them. It houses RPMS provenience data (i.e., where artifacts and samples were located horizontally and vertically within the archaeological contexts). The database also contains information about the artifacts and sample collected during the archaeological investigation. The database structure centers...

The archaeological research reported in this volume was conducted under contract with the Desert Vista Campus, Pima County Community College District. The contract provided for data recovery excavations at two sites located on portions of the campus property: AZ BB:13:15 (ASM) and AZ BB:13:74 (ASM). Both sites had been tested using backhoe trenching in 1992 (Huckell 1993), and had been found to have significant subsurface remains. While we were aware of the research potential of the portion of...

This collection is referred to as "Rucker's Bottom Group 1980-1981.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is one (1) linear inch. The documents date from 1970 to 1981. The investigation occurred primarily from 1980 to 1981, which explains the date of the project name. The range of dates includes background information. The documents were originally housed in an acidic manila folder in a cardboard box along with...
