The preliminary objective was to salvage 28 archaeological sites located within the rights-of-way of Route N64, the Chinle to Tsaile Lake road, and four associated spur roads. Research designs for the excavations are broken into historic Navajo and prehistoric Anasazi sites; this report is concerned with the former. This...

Given the relatively uniform nature of the seven identified resource processing sites in the Anthem at Merrill Ranch project area, as well as, Site AZ U:15:237(ASM) with its agricultural features, the research focus of the data recovery plan was to gain a better basic understanding of the temporal affiliations of and subsistence strategies represented by the project area’s eight prehistoric sites. An additional goal was to place these sites within the greater context of Hohokam occupation along...

The Fort McDowell Indian Reservation is rich in historic and prehistoric archaeological resources. Systematic surface searches have located and recorded over 100 archaeological sites within the 40 square mile reservation. Such sites show that many groups have used the area, including the prehistoric Hohokam, the Yavapai, Anglo-Americans, and Mexican-Americans. Prior to 1984, however, only four sites at Fort McDowell had been excavated or tested. Two of the sites were prehistoric, consisting of...

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...
