The arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in Tucson on 20 March 1880, dramatically changed the community. Historic Block 83 was located across the street from the railroad depot and developed rapidly in response to the sudden influx of departing or arriving travelers. Boarding houses, a hotel, saloons, restaurants, barber shops, a pool hall, a Chinese laundry, and several small stores were among the businesses that catered to these people. The southeastern corner of the block was associated...
Archaeological Investigations at AZ AA:8:350 (ASM) and AZ AA:8:351 (ASM), Along State Route 79, Pinal County, Arizona (2016)
Archaeological investigations were conducted along State Route 79 northwest of Oracle, Arizona, prior to rebuilding the Coronado Wash Bridge by the Arizona Department of Transportation. Desert Archaeology subcontracted with AZTEC Engineering to perform the investigations. Two sites were included in this project, AZ AA:8:350 (ASM) and AZ AA:8:351 (ASM), the Coronado Wash site. AZ AA:8:350 (ASM) was tested for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) and is not...
Archaeological Investigations at Christopher Columbus Park, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona (2008)
In 2003, Desert Archaeology prepared a Phase 1 Data Recovery plan for the City of Tucson for the two prehistoric sites within Christopher Columbus Park (Swartz 2003). The park development project was subsequently transferred to Pima County, and the initial Master Plan was prepared. Implementation of Phase 1 Data Recovery was in late 2004, to address extensive recreational use of the previously undeveloped portions of the park. The purpose of Phase 1 Data Recovery (Project Director Ellen Ruble),...
Archaeological Investigations in Northern Los Pozos, AZ AA:12:91 (ASM), for the Pima County Bleeder Channel Project, Pima County, Arizona (2014)
Pima County Wastewater proposed construction of a bleeder channel on a City of Tucson-owned parcel in Pima County, Arizona. The parcel is within the northern boundary of the prehistoric site of Los Pozos, AZ AA:12:91 (ASM), a National Register of Historic Places-eligible property dating primarily to the Early Agricultural period (1200 B.C.-A.D. 50). The channel was planned from a bridge culvert on an access road to the RWRD Sweetwater Reclamation Campus to an existing rip-rap drainage channel...

Data Recovery for the 49ers Reclaimed Transmission Main Project, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona (2005)
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...
Examination of Vertebrate Faunal Remains & C14 Radiocarbon Results, Site 44PG316, Fort Lee (1989)
This document contains results of the examination of vertebrate faunal remains from Bull Hill Run Site, 44PG316, with accompanying field notes and radiocarbon sample data sheets.
The Grewe Archaeological Research Project, Volume 2: Material Culture, Part II: Stone, Shell, and Bone Artifacts and Biological Remains (2001)
This is the second in a series of three volumes documenting the results of the Grewe Archaeological Research Project (GARP). The Project was carried out by Northland Research, Inc. (Northland), under contract to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Portions of three prehistoric sites were investigated on the project - Grewe, Horvath, and Casa Grande Ruins. Each of the sites represents a separate spatial and temporal component of the Grewe-Casa Grande settlement, one of the preeminent...
Phase III Archaeological Investigations on the Bull Hill Run Site (44PG316), A Multi-Component Prehistoric Site in Prince George County, Virginia (1989)
This report presents the findings of the Phase III Investigation of site 44PG316 in Prince George County, Virginia. The site was first identified during land clearing activities associated with the construction of US Route 295. The Virginia Commonwealth University Archaeological Research Center (VCU-ARC) entered a contractual agreement with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to conduct archaeological testing. The initial goals of the investigation were to asses the size and...
Phase III Archaeological Investigations on the Bull Hill Run Site 44PG316, Fort Lee (FL1989.002)
Site 44PG316 is a small multi-component prehistoric site located along Bull Hill Run in Prince George County, Virginia. Excavations identified occupations dating from the Late Archaic/Transitional through Late Woodland periods. Although natural disturbance in the form of flood scouring was noted, the site has remained unplowed and some stratigraphic separation of cultural material was present. Artifacts and floral remains recovered suggest that the exploitation of acorns and other plant foods...
Their Own Road: Archaeological Investigations along State Route 260 Payson to Heber-Kohls Ranch Section (2017)
The Kohls Ranch highway section lies at the center of the State Route (SR) 260 —Payson to Heber project area. This section also crosses a number of central places of the past. Here, near its headwaters, Tonto Creek is a mountain stream, whose terraces widen briefly near the highway before the canyon narrows into the Hells Gate Wilderness to the south. Indian Garden, a mile to the east, is a spring-fed meadow. Geology transitions in this area, as the topography created by the friable granites to...
Times of Transition: Excavations at the Pima Animal Care Center, Tucson, Pima County, Arizona (2018)
Excavations at the Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) revealed a unique portion of the prehistoric Hohokam landscape. Uncovered were the vestiges of a settlement that was occupied for two short periods at the beginning and the end of the Hohokam pre-Classic. Both periods of occupation occurred during times of transition in the prehistoric Tucson Basin. The Tortolita phase occupation corresponds with the founding of villages and the transition to Hohokam lifeways throughout southern and central...
