The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations at site NA 15, 718. The site is located in the Tonto National Forest, northwest of Superior, Arizona. Investigations revealed a moderately dense sherd and lithic scatter. There are 11 cobble features, 6 of which are check dams, 4 are habitation units and the remaining feature has an unknown function. The remains represent a Salado occupation probably dating to the late prehistoric period (A.D. 1150 to 1450). The subsistence...

A cultural resources inventory was recently conducted for Sandia National Laboratories' Sled Track Project on approximately 370 ha (925 acres) of Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB) property, Bernalillo County, New Mexico. This cultural resources survey yielded one archaeological site (LA 89044), which appears to be a historic check dam, and 10 isolated occurrences (IOs). Nine of the IOs consist of historic and/or prehistoric chipped stone items, and the other is a sherd from a prehistoric ceramic...

Catalina State Park is situated approximately 22 km (14 miles) north of Tucson, Arizona. Within this beautiful and pristine desert area lie a large number of relatively undisturbed archaeological sites. The park has witnessed a long and varied history. Sometime after 5000 B.C. Archaic period hunters and gatherers first roamed through the park area in their search for game and edible plants. During the following Hohokam period the park area was intensively occupied. A wide range of sites are...

An Archaeological survey in the Cave Creek drainage was undertaken as the result of a contract agreement to assess the archaeological resource base of the proposed Cave Buttes Dam Alternative Site and Reservoir. The research strategy was operationalized by implementing a rigorous sampling program designed to extract a representative sample of existing prehistoric remains. The research area coincided generally with an open creosote terrace and the 50 percent positive recovery of archaeological...

The Salt River Project (SRP) is planning to upgrade the current carrying capacity of 18.3 miles of the existing Silver King to Goldfield 230kV line north of Queen Valley and Superior, Pinal County, Arizona. In order to accomplish this, SRP plans to “bundle” the existing 230kV conductors by adding a second conductor to each of the three existing single-conductor phases. This 230kV line was originally intended for two circuits of bundled conductors and permitted for such on Forest Service lands by...

This report documents the performance and findings of an archaeological survey conducted on approximately 7.6 acres of the Sandia Ranger District. A constructed feature, AR 03-03-05-167, composed of arranged rock and dirt fill was located in the area of the planned change in road alignment. This feature is very likely to have served as a check dam. Due to the lack of any cultural material onsite or other kinds of cultural resource sites within the vicinity, no cultural affiliation,...
