This program was coordinated through DeLeuw, Cather and Company, consultants to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) under ADOT Contract 85-14. Archaeological...
Archaeological Survey for Peacekeeper Follow-on Basing Concealment Testing Dateland Test Site, Luke Air Force Range, Arizona (1986)
An archaeological survey was conducted from May 28 through June 1, 1986 at the Dateland Test Site on Luke Air Force Range. Eight archaeological sites and nine isolated finds were recorded as a result of this survey. The archaeological sites included three trails, two historic sites, and three prehistoric sites. None of these sites appear eligible to the National Register of Historic Places. Further, none of these sites should be affected by project activities; therefore, no mitigation of...
Data Recovery at AZ T:12:413(ASM) for the Roeser Haciendas Development Project, Phoenix, Arizona (2016)
The site (AZ T:12:413[ASM]) was recommended as eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Avoidance to the site was not feasible so data recovery was conducted under an existing City-approved Plan, entitled “General Historic Properties Treatment Plan for Archaeological Projects Within the Boundaries of the City of Phoenix, Arizona” (Montero et al. 2008). A Supplemental Data Recovery Work Plan submitted to the City (see Mitchell 2011) was approved and implemented. As a...
The Structure and Organization of Basketmaker III Field Houses at the Cottonwood Seep Site (1993)
Early settlement of the Cottonwood Seep Site consisted of small, informal pit structures and large jacal surface structures that were used on a seasonal basis for a period from approximately A.D. 500 until about A.D. 800. This paper examines the structure and organization of the Basketmaker III settlement, focusing on group organization, site function, resource availability, and environmental considerations. Unlike many of the surrounding Basketmaker III field house sites, the Cottonwood Seep...
Studies Along the Lower Agua Fria River: The Eastwing Site and the Marinette Canal (1987)
Two sites, one prehistoric and one historic, situated northwest of Phoenix and in the south-central part of Arizona, are discussed. Limited field excavation and archival research reveal that the historic site, the Marinette Canal (NA18,267), built in 1910, may have been fed by well water, local runoff, and the seasonal flow of the Agua Fria River. It heads along Calderwood Butte and extends almost 10 km southward toward the present community of Sun City, Arizona. The prehistoric site, the...
