Draft Archaeological Monitoring Report for the SRP Grand Canal Lining Project between 40th Street and State Route 143 in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona (2008)
SRP is responsible for management of a 131-mile system of canals, which must be maintained year round. To allow for the performance of routine maintenance and canal improvements, portions of main canals within the SRP network are "dried up" for a one-month period during the fall and winter seasons. As part of a larger effort to reduce erosion and water loss through ground seepage, the Grand Canal lining project was conducted to install a protective concrete lining along a previously unlined...
The Hohokam Expressway Project: A Study of Prehistoric Irrigation in the Salt River Valley, Arizona (1976)
In 1970, and again in 1972, archaeologists from the Highway Salvage Program of the Arizona State Museum intensively surveyed the route of the proposed Hohokam Expressway in Phoenix, Arizona. This expressway was proposed in order to connect Interstate 10 with 44th Street and provide a north-south access route across the Salt River to relieve the traffic congestion caused by periodic flooding of the river (Fig. 1). Because a portion of the proposed right-of-way runs adjacent to Pueblo Grande and...
Hohokam Irrigation and Agriculture on the Western Margin of Pueblo Grande: Archaeology for the PHX Sky Train Project (2015)
