Coal Haul Railroad (Other Keyword)
1-7 (7 Records)
A total of 21 proposed dike and ditch emplacements were surveyed along the Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad by the Museum of Northern Arizona between March 15 and July 26, 1977. The survey was performed at the request of Salt River Project. Although most of the emplacements were staked, a few were not. These required survey of a broad area of land around the supposed location of the emplacement to insure adequate coverage. One site, NA15,228, was recorded by the survey in Feature...
Archaeological Studies, Salt River Project, Coronado Generating Station, Coal Haul Railroad: A Plan for the Mitigation of 25 Archaeological Sites Remaining for Study in the RIght-of-Way of the Coal Haul Railroad, Revised Description (1977)
The Museum of Northern Arizona has prepared a revision to the work plans for the Coronado Station Coal Haul Railroad archaeological research project. Using sampling, the plan schedules some sites for full excavation, others for sample excavation, and still others for surface record and collection. Basically, the criteria for selection in any category of work was judgmental, considering factors of site condition and site content. Sites chosen for full excavation compliment data gathered at...
The Archaeology of Navajo Sites West of Black Mesa, Arizona: Investigations Along the Coal-Haul Overhead-Electric Railroad Between Page and Navajo National Monument (1982)
Forty-eight historic Navajo sites are investigated by the Museum of Northern Arizona prior to the construction of the Salt River Project Coal-Haul Overhead-Electric Railroad between Page and Navajo National Monument, Arizona. These 48 sites are classified by site function, inferred from various site features, and are then placed in a scheme of economic development and environmental conditions for the Colorado Plateau.
The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: Studies Along the Coal Haul Railroad Corridor (1986)
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...
Salt River Project Archaeological Clearance Investigations: Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad, Private, State, and Federal Lands, Apache County, Arizona: Appendix II: A Cost Estimate for the Mitigation of 47 Archaeological Sites Located Within the Right-of-Way of the Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad (1976)
This appendix contains cost estimates for mitigation of 47 archaeological sites within the Coronado Generating Station plant site coal haul railroad right-of-way. It consists primarily of tables of costs, broken down by category, personnel, equipment, and other variables. Major sections include a cost schedule for archaeological investigations; project development costs; time, labor, and equipment estimates for archaeological excavations; cost estimate sums for excavation; project analysis and...
Salt River Project Archaeological Clearance Investigations: Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad, Private, State, and Federal Lands, Apache County, Arizona: Appendix II: A Proposal for the Mitigation of 47 Archaeological Sites Located Within the Right-of-Way of the Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station Plant Site Coal Haul Railroad (1976)
At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona has prepared a proposal and cost estimate for Phase III investigations along the proposed Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station Coal Haul Railroad. These Phase III investigations will consist of an impact mitigation program designed to recover that portion of the archaeological manifestations located within the right-of-way of the proposed Coal Haul Railroad. A total of 47 archaeological sites are recorded within the...
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...
