Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) has completed archaeological testing within a 4.6-acre parcel in Phoenix. The project was conducted because the Hohokam site of La Lomita (AZ U:9:67[ASM]/AZ U:9:24[ASU]/P:3:4[GP]) and a prehistoric irrigation canal are plotted within the area of investigation. Roughly the northern 2.7 acres of the parcel fall within the recorded boundary of La Lomita. The remaining 1.9 acres fall within the 250-foot buffer around the recorded site boundaries that requires...

On July 6, 1987, Lyle M. Stone of Archaeological Research Services, Inc, (ARS) performed a cultural resources survey of an 7.974 acre parcel of land in Mesa, Arizona. This survey was requested by the Engineering Department, City of Mesa, in order to determine if important cultural resources (which may include prehistoric or historic archaeological sites or objects, architecturally or historically significant structures or buildings) were present which could be adversely affected by the proposed...

Cultural resources survey of portions of the Naval Weapons Station (NWS) was carried out as part of the existing "Historic and Archaeological Resources Protection Plan" (HARP) for the Station. Such survey complies with Sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), Department of Defense Directive No. 4710.1 (June 21, 1984), the Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA), Navy OPNAV 5090.1A "Environmental and Natural Resources Protection Manual," NAVY SECNAV Inst....

PROJECT Ronald Faulseit.

This archive contains all of the data derived from field research at the site of Dainzú-Macuilxóchitl in the Oaxaca Valley of Mexico. This is a multi-year project consisting of intensive survey and mapping, as well as comprehensive excavations. The mapping and survey are designed to provide a detailed topographic map of the site and provide a basic temporal and spatial settlement description. Intensive excavations are focused on residential areas. This project has been financially supported...

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 City of Tucson and Pima County have proposed installation of a reclaimed waterline along Speedway Boulevard in Tucson, Pima County, Arizona. The line will affect several archaeological sites, and a data recovery plan (Elson 2004) recommended data recovery projects at three prehistoric sites — AZ BB:13:68 (ASM), AZ BB:13:123 (ASM), and AZ BB:14:4 (ASM). Monitoring was suggested as the appropriate mitigation at a fourth site, AZ BB:13:444 (ASM). Results of the data recovery excavations...

This report provides documentation for archaeological data recovery within a 6.9 acre parcel located near the northeastern edge of the prehistoric Hohokam village Pueblo del Rio (AZ T:12:116[ASM]). The work was conducted by Northland Research, Inc., for McCall & Associates prior to commercial development of the property. The purpose of the project was to collect information and analyze materials from a sample of features at the site. Features identified include three pit houses, a...

Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) is serving as a consultant to U.S. West Communications (US West) for a proposed utility (fiber optic communication cable) right-of-way. The right-of-way is located within the southern access road for the Grand Canal, which passes through Pueblo Grande National Historic Landmark (Pueblo Grande), although the proposed right-of-way is not within the National Historic Landmark boundary. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places...

Archaeological data recovery was conducted in the north end of the Frank Luke Addition in the City of Phoenix within a portion of the Hohokam site of La Ciudad, also known as AZ T:12:1 (ASM). This is a report on data recovery conducted in the north end of the project area. The excavations documented a borrow pit reused as a reservoir (Feature 32), an irrigation lateral (Feature 27), a small field house (Feature 29), five extramural pits and thermal features, and two pits containing historic...

Archaeological data recovery was conducted in the north end of the Frank Luke Addition in the City of Phoenix within a portion of the Hohokam site of La Ciudad, also known as AZ T:12:1 (ASM). The City of Phoenix Housing Department plans to construct affordable housing on the site of the Frank Luke Addition housing project originally constructed in 1952 by the City. The project is divided into two construction phases, and this report pertains to the northern part of the Phase 2 area. The area of...

A total of eight samples from geologic trenches at the 7 Lagos Project in Valdivia, Chile, were examined to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon dating. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Two samples appeared to contain charred material in sufficient quantities for dating; however, the charred material did not survive the chemical pre-treatment for dating. Half of the sediment retained during...

The Filoli paleoseismic site is located on the San Andreas Fault in Woodside, San Mateo County, California. Bulk soil samples collected from the north wall of Trench 2 and from the south and north walls of Trench 3 were submitted for macrofloral analysis to recover charred remains suitable for AMS radiocarbon age determination. One to four different charred remains from every sample were selected, yielding a total of 30 AMS radiocarbon dates.

A selection of bulk soil samples collected from trenches and augers excavated as part of the Rovner Simi Project, Simi Valley, southern California, were floated to recover organic fragments suitable for radiocarbon age determination. In addition, two charcoal samples also were submitted for identification and microscopic charcoal was extracted from five sediment samples. Botanic components and charcoal fragments were identified, and optimal radiocarbon datable material, including microcharcoal,...

Bulk soil and detrital charcoal samples were recovered from natural exposures or soil pits on stream terraces adjacent to the Dungeness River in the northeastern portion of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. These samples are from terraces incised into the alluvial plain between the eastern Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca at Dungeness Bay. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified in each of the samples, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated.

A total of eleven bulk soil samples, three charcoal samples, and two shell samples were examined for the presence of organic material suitable for radiocarbon analysis. These samples were recovered from two trenches at the Penrose Drive site in Salt Lake City, Utah. Botanic components and detrital charcoal were identified, and potentially radiocarbon datable material was separated. Dating of material from the trenches will be used to help develop detailed information on the timing and recurrence...
