An Archaeological Assessment of the Middle Santa Cruz River Basin, Rillito to Green Valley, Arizona, for the Proposed Tucson Aqueduct Phase B, Central Arizona Project

Author(s): Jon S. Czaplicki; James D. Mayberry

Year: 1983

Summary

This report presents the results of a Class II sample survey of Phase B of the Tucson Division, Central Arizona Project. Because of the relatively large amount of survey data available for this area, the study was based primarily on existing data rather than on new field survey data. The survey data were used to discuss the Paleo-Indian, Archaic, Hohokam, Proto-historic, and Historic Periods in the Phase B area. Settlement patterning and subsistence strategies for these periods were studied, as were various models for prehistoric cultural development in the area. Against this background the proposed Phase B canal alternatives were assessed in terms of their impacts on known and expected cultural resources. Routes B-1 and B-2 and the Twin Hills reservoir site were determined to be the best choices because of the fewer impacts they would have on the cultural resource base.

Finally, to help determine a research orientation for future Phase B cultural resource studies, various research problems were discussed for each of the above-mentioned periods.
