A Supplemental Class III Archaeological Survey of the Phase A, Reach 3 Corridor, Tucson Aqueduct, Central Arizona Project: Late Sedentary and Early Classic Period Tucson Basin Hohokam Occupation in the Lower Santa Cruz River Basin, Marana to Rillito, Arizona (1984)
Approximately 600 acres of additional right-of-way in Reach 3 were surveyed in late 1983 and early 1984. Fourteen new sites were identified, of which nine received ASM site numbers. The remaining five sites were not given an ASM site number, but merit reevaluation for assignment of a site number. This supplemental survey has altered considerably an earlier view of prehistoric occupation in Reach 3 that resulted from the original 1982 survey of the reach. Reach 3 now appears to pass through a...
The Tanque Verde High School Archaeological Project: Excavations at a Hohokam Limited Activity Site in the Northeastern Tucson Basin (2005)
Archaeological testing and data recovery at AZ B:9:360 (ASM), a Hohokam limited activity site in the northeastern Tucson Basin, resulted in the discovery of two roasting pits, an associated activity surface, and two large trash-filled pits. Botanical data suggest that the site was used for processing locally procured upper bajada wild plant resources as well as domesticated crops (maize). Chronometric data indicate a likely span of site use from the Rillito phase of the Colonial period to the...
