The San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage District (SCIDD) is undertaking a 10-year rehabilitation project of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-eligible Florence-Casa Grande (FCG) Canal (also known as the Main Canal/AZ AA:3:215[ASM]) in Pinal County, Arizona. The canal, which is currently operated and maintained by SCIDD, was constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) between 1923 and 1928 and incorporated into the San Carlos...

The Excavations of Los Muertos and Neighboring Ruins in the Salt River Valley, Southern Arizona (1945)
This publication which originally was Emil W. Haury's doctoral dissertation for the Department of Anthropology, Harvard University, is based on the work of the Hemenway Southwestern Archaeological Expedition of 1887-1888. The fieldwork was organized and overseen by Frank Hamilton Cushing. The Hemenway Expedition's work in the Salt River Valley was in truth a pioneering effort. Neither here nor in the adjoining Gila Valley had any systematic work of any sort been done. Although seen by some...

La Ciudad Canals: A Study of Hohokam Irrigation Systems at the Community Level (1987)
The nineteenth-century farmers, merchants, and prospectors who settled in the Salt River Valley of Arizona encountered one of the most dense and most visible concentrations of prehistoric ruins in North America. They named their new city Phoenix because they envisioned it rising up from the ashes of the prehistoric Hohokam culture. One of the most pronounced features discovered was large irrigation canals that stretched across most of the valley floor--an ancient irrigation network, the...
Paleohydraulics: Techniques for Modeling the Operation and Growth of Prehistoric Canal Systems (1990)
Past studies of the Hohokam irrigation systems have focused on the examination of small segments of individual prehistoric canals. The application of open channel equations to individual cross-sections has provided information on discharge capacity and water velocity at specific points in time and space. This study focuses on the development of techniques and approaches to modeling the operation of complete canals. Extant records of cross-sections of the Prehistoric Hohokam canals are compiled...
Phoenix Basin Archaeology: Intersections, Pathways Through Time
The Intersections project is an electronic archive of the archaeological monographs written for archaeological projects conducted at Hohokam sites on Canal System Two and funded by the Federal and Arizona departments of transportation. The searchable electronic archive includes the contents of about 37 separate volumes reporting on the findings of 11 different archaeological projects. The Intersections project was funded by the Federal Highway Administration through the Arizona Department of...
