  • Villages of Tortolita: Phase II Data Recovery at AZ AA:7:500 (ASM) and AZ AA:12:682 (ASM), Town of Marana, Pima and Pinal Counties, Arizona (2009)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text David M. R. Barr.

    Phase II data recovery was conducted at AZ AA:7:500 (ASM) and AZ AA:12:682 (ASM) on the Villages of Tortolita property after Phase I data recovery revealed the presence of subsurface cultural deposits. Forty-five features were identified during Phase II data recovery at AZ AA:7:500 (ASM), including pit structures, roasting pits, miscellaneous extramural pits, middens, surface rock concentrations, and cremations. At AZ AA:12:682 (ASM), five highly ephemeral, poorly defined features (charcoal...

  • Wall Orientation for Outlying Structures at Pueblo la Plata (2007)
    IMAGE [not managed] Will Russell.

    When project personnel recorded the outlying structures at Pueblo la Plata, reference was made to walls running "north/south" and walls running "east/west". This graph illustrates the variability in precise wall orientation, with black arrows corresponding with walls running "north/south" and red arrows corresponding with walls running "east/west". Results suggest there was no consistent attempt to orient outlying structures to the cardinal directions.

  • The Walls Still Stand: Reconstructing Population at Pueblo la Plata (2005)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Sara Mapes.

    The Agua Fria National Monument, a 71,000-acre parcel of land encompassing two mesas and a river valley, is a region rich with human prehistory. The landscape is freckled with sites dating to the 13th and 14th centuries, ranging in size from a single agricultural field to pueblos of one hundred or more rooms. One particular Pueblo, Pueblo La Plata, was the focus of my research as I attempted to reconstruct its changing population through the remains of its residential structure.

  • Western Mapping Images of Compound A (2009)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Uploaded by: alycia hayes

    This document is a series of topographic maps of Compound A at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Coolidge, Arizona. Some are early images showing the residence of Frank Pinkley noting that it is to be removed. Also shown are room walls that no longer exist in today's Compound A.

  • Where the Rivers Converge: Report on the Rock Island Complex (1995)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Owen Lindauer.

    The Roosevelt Platform Mound Study (RPMS) was one of three mitigative data recovery studies that the Bureau of Reclamation funded to investigate the prehistory of the Tonto Basin in the vicinity of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. The series of investigations constituted Reclamation's program for complying with historic preservation legislation as it applied to the raising and modification of Theodore Roosevelt Dam. Reclamation contracted with the Arizona State University Office of Cultural Resource...

  • The White Man's Friend (1974)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Lloyd Allison.

    Under the premise of "Give us our water and we will take care of ourselves," the book includes two chapters surrounding the irrigation practices of the Pima-Maricopa Indians from the mid-19th century to the present. The first chapter discusses the early irrigation practices of the Pima-Maricopa Indians and their history within the Gila and Salt River valleys supplemented with information from excavation and government documentation. Using this information, the second chapter lists a series of...

    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Richard A. Brook.

    Wirth Associates contracted with the Museum of Northern Arizona to conduct an archaeological impact study of a proposed Salt River Project Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Routing Alternate to Westwing Receiving Station. This study delineates areas with three levels of potential site occurence for the project area, and investigates potential effects on the cultural resources of the alternative corridors proposed by Salt River Project. A short data gathering phase, prior to field work,...

  • Woody Vegetation Expansion in a Desert Grassland: Prehistoric Human Impact? (2007)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text John Briggs. Hoski Schaafsma. Demitar Trenkov.

    Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and savannas is a global phenomenon with undisputed environmental and economic consequences. In central Arizona, the location of our study, it is well known that mesquite, juniper, and cacti account for the majority of the woody plant expansion into arid grasslands. Using aerial photographs (1940 and 2001), we quantified an increase in woody vegetation in this area. We estimated that from 1940 to 2001, the amount of woody vegetation at our study site...

  • Working Hypotheses for the Study of Hohokam Community Complexes (1986)
    DOCUMENT [not managed] Full-Text Glen Rice.

    Over the course of the last seven to ten years, archaeologists working in different parts of the south central desert of Arizona have begun the documentation of Community Complexes. This is a general term for a range of phenomena which lie somewhere on the scale between community patterns and settlement patterns. This is a discussion of settlement structure rather than style, and not all researchers will be comfortable with this orientation. I readily violate and ignore many long standing...
