Meritage Homes (Meritage) proposes to construct a residential subdivision in the town of Oro Valley (Town), north of Tucson, Arizona. One recorded site, AZ BB:9:262/338 (ASM), is located in the northeastern portion of the proposed Kai 291 North project area. Lucas (2014) recommended that the site be tested for its eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP).

The City of Tucson had proposed to construct a water recharge basin on the east side of the Santa Cruz River between Sweetwater Road and Camino del Cerro. Phase 1 archaeological data recovery was conducted at the City's request because the project area lies within the boundaries of AZ A A:12:91 (ASM), also known as the Los Pozos site. Previous archaeological work has established the significance of the Los Pozos site, which has been determined to be eligible for inclusion on the National...

The purpose of this report is two-fold. It is, first and foremost, a report on the results of a relatively small field investigation within a portion of the Los Pozos site. These recent investigations did not encounter buried archaeological features despite discovery of such in an immediately adjacent area during a previous project. Due to a gradual accumulation of substantial amounts of fieldwork over the past 20 years, the second part of this report is a compilation and synthesis of...

Secondly, unit 3 was chosen for excavation because the west, south, and east walls were relatively well defined rock alignments on the surface. Two nearby rooms (unit 1 to...

A number of archeological surveys and excavations have been carried out within Saguaro National Monument near Tucson, Arizona, over the years, but the field work generally has been neither problem-oriented nor carried out in accordance with a suitable research design. Much of it, therefore, must be considered incomplete in terms of modern archeological theory and methods. Archeological activity both inside and outside the monument, however, has resulted in delineation of the cultural history for...

Chronological data in those reports include radiocarbon dates, limited numbers of tree ring dates, stratigraphy and especially glaze rim sequences due to the large standard deviations associated with radio carbon dates from these sites (and these centuries in general). In those reports periods were designated by labels rather than date ranges....
