The current cultural resources assessment is in support of the Northern Parkway construction project, including geotechnical investigations. Before ground disturbance can begin, pursuant to the...
Cultural Resources Testing at Las Canopas (AZ T:12:137[ASM]), Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (2005)
Northland has completed cultural resources testing at two parcels. During the project, 83 trenches were mechanically excavated, totaling 1,613.3 meters. Trenches were roughly 20 m long, 65 cm wide, and 1.5 m deep. They were laid out in a checkerboard pattern across both loci, with trenches spaced 40 m apart east-west. This equates to approximately a 1.25 percent subsurface sample of the 20.7 acre project area. Testing confirmed the presence of features associated with Las Canopas (AZ...
Data Recovery at AZ T:12:413(ASM) for the Roeser Haciendas Development Project, Phoenix, Arizona (2016)

A Supplemental Data Recovery Work Plan submitted to the City (see Mitchell 2011) was approved and implemented. As a...

Fifty-one archaeological features were...
Site Form for 3PU0430 (1995)
Site form for Site 3PU0430. Site 3PU0430 appears to be a historic residence, possibly dating back to the 1940s to the 1950s and probably associated with the community of Macon, AR which is presently 200-300 m north of the site. The site area has been so extensively disturbed by bulldozing that it is considered ineligible for inclusion into the NRHP.

Site Form for 3PU0445 (1995)
Site form for 3PU0445. Site 3PU0445 appears to be a historic residence or homestead estimated occupation in the 1940s and 1950s. The site appears to have been leveled with heavy machinery and, considering the melted glass and burned sandstone, was also burned. In view of the extensive disturbance noted at the site and the late date of occupation, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.
