At the request of The Salt River Project, archeologists from the Museum of Northern Arizona surveyed 24 tower locations and their associated access roads for the 7.5 mile segment of the Coronado-Silverking 500 kV transmission line in the Sitgreaves National Forest. The request for the survey came from Bettina Rosenberg, archeological administrator for The Salt River Project, in a letter dated January 12, 1978. The Coronado-Silverking transmission line is the main conduit to the Phoenix...

The research plan outlines a framework for investigating 3 archaeological sites along the Silverking-to-Kyrene, East End, Transmission Line, a part of the Coronado Project. The 3 sites, initially recorded during a recent survey by the Museum of Northern Arizona, are a large lithic scatter associated with linear rock alignments, a possible 1-room structure associated with linear rock alignments, and an abandoned railroad grade. The plan discusses specific means by which the scientific potential...

In the mid-1970s, the Salt River Project, a public utility in Arizona, contracted with the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) to provide archaeological clearance for 148 miles of railroad and transmission line right-of-way in northeastern Arizona prior to actual construction. The project area is roughly bounded by St. Johns and Springerville to the south, and Holbrook and Navajo to the north. Those settlements also help define the western and eastern boundaries of the project area. MNA...

The results of investigations at 47 archaeological sites along the Coronado railroad corridor from St. Johns, Arizona, to Navajo, Arizona, are presented. Of the 47 sites, 14 were surface collected and recorded, 9 were tested, and 24 were excavated as fully as possible given the constraints of the impact corridor. Data contributing to the study of the Anasazi-Mogollon (Cibola) culture area are discussed in chapters on environment, architecture, ground stone, shell, and human skeletal remains. An...

Intensive archaeological field investigations along the Coronado-Silver King Transmission Line (North End) began in September, 1976. These investigations were conducted by the Museum of Northern Arizona under contract with the Salt River Project. Forty-six sites along the transmission line route required mitigation procedures; site recording, collection, testing, and excavation were conducted as appropriate. Subsequent laboratory analysis confirmed a number of impressions resulting from the...

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological investigation and mitigation program near St. Johns, Arizona, in an area proposed as the site for ash disposal and evaporation pond facilities associated with the Coronado generating station, then under construction. The archaeological survey located 33 sites, including Archaic and Pueblo period camps and residences, stone quarry locations, and several historic period sites. An attempt is made to place all sites within a broad temporal...

The Concho Well Field Water Transmission Pipeline, constructed by the Salt River Project, originates in the Concho Well Fields just north of Concho, Arizona, and extends to the Coronado Generating Station Power Plant three miles north of St. Johns, Arizona. The pipeline route either impinges upon or crosses 15 prehistoric and historic sites, including two possible Archaic or Basketmaker lithic sites and two Spanish-American homesteads. These four sites provide the basis for most of the analysis...

The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. The Coronado Project provided a rare opportunity to revisit and further explore previously investigated sites, thus generating modifications to some previous interpretations and perceptions. In Volume 3, a synthesis of the project data, project authors examine architecture and chronology, review ceramics in a regional context, and assess settlement data....
