Archaeological fieldwork for the Rancho Vistoso Survey was done between March 31, 1986 and July 3, 1986. A total of 240 person days was expended surveying the nearly 8,000 acres within the project boundaries. Forty-six sites and 128 non-sites were recorded and given field designations (FD’s). Two large prehistoric villages, known from earlier archaeological work in the area, were also mapped in detail and systematic surface collections made. The following section describes all surface artifact...

Items in the DAP nonflaked lithic tool assemblage and miscellaneous material files that represent “unusual materials of geologic origin” have been collected within a single rare rocks dataset (Keane and Clay 1987:507). More specifically, the dataset contains both naturally occurring and culturally modified items comprised of geological resources that are found in the Dolores Valley, or have been transported over long distances (Keane and Clay 1987). Items fashioned from rare material types are...

The study of Tucson’s prehistory has been pursued with an unprecedented intensity in recent years, and it seemed essential that the new results that were emerging be shared on a broader basis. This volume is the outcome of papers prepared for the Second Tucson Basin Conference in conjunction with the 1986 fall meeting of the Arizona Archaeological Council.

Archaeologists interested in the prehistory of the Gila-Salt drainage of southern Arizona proposed that a group of Pueblo people termed the Salado, moved into the desert area of northern Pimeria Alta sometime during the Classic Period of the Hohokam historical continuum. Although this hypothesis has become a tradition, certain researchers have, on occasion, questioned its validity. The Amerind Foundation, Inc., after working for a number of years in historic contact sites in Pimeria Alta, turned...

PROJECT USDI Bureau of Reclamation, Phoenix Area Office.

The Phoenix Area Office (PXAO), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), has developed an archaeological site database for the Central Arizona Project (CAP) main stem canal. The current data is based on data resulting from Class III surveys conducted in the 1970s and 1980s prior to the canal’s construction. The majority of these sites have not been revisited since they were first recorded. An unknown number of these sites were destroyed by either construction or excavation, while others are no...

This report provides documentation for archaeological data recovery conducted within a four-acre parcel. The parcel includes a roughly 0.73-acre area within the recorded boundary of the prehistoric Hohokam site of Pueblo Grande, AZ U:9:1(ASM). Data recovery efforts were designed to recover human remains and collect information from a sample of non-burial features in order to mitigate the impacts of proposed commercial development within the project area. Fifty-one archaeological features were...

KB Home of Phoenix, Arizona is planning the residential development of approximately 80.0 acres on the northern edge of the community of Casa Grande, Arizona. A previous archaeological survey of the parcel resulted in the identification of a single prehistoric Hohokam site, AZ AA:1:139 (ASM), in the northern half of the project area (Hart 2001). The site, which appears to extend beyond the boundary of the parcel, is described as an artifact scatter (ceramics and flaked stone) with a single...

The site designated Marin-374 is located approximately ten miles northwest of Novato, California, about one-half mile west of the U.S. Highway 101. The site was first worked by a team from the Novate Senior High Archaeology Club on July 18, 1966. At that time, there existed in the locality of the site only a house pit and a test pit dug earlier by a group from the Northwestern California Archaeological Society. Marin-374 is a single-component, proto-historic deposit left by the Coastal Miwok...
