Settlement, Subsistence, and Specialization in the Northern Periphery: Research Design for Mitigative Data Recovery at Sites in the New Waddell Dam Borrow Areas

Author(s): Margerie Green

Year: 1986

Summary

The Bureau of Reclamation contracted with Archaeological Consulting Services to perform mitigative data recovery at 17 sites in the Agua Fria and New River Borrow Areas in preparation for construction of New Waddell Dam. The contract also calls for supplemental survey in the vicinity and data recovery at significant sites in the newly defined survey areas.

The Waddell area is considered part of the Hohokam northern periphery. Cultural resources in the area consist mainly of small field house sites or farmsteads and associated agricultural systems that may reach a square kilometer in area. The research proposed will be conducted at three levels: intra-drainage adaptations, inter-drainage relations, and inter-regional interaction. At the first level, site contemporaneity and function will be assessed. The interface between sites and the natural environment and relationships among the sites themselves will be investigated. Comparisons in adaptations between the two different drainage situations and interaction between populations within them will be the focus of the inter-drainage level analyses. At the inter-regional level, ties between these northern periphery sites and both the Hohokam core and northern Arizona will be investigated.

The research design that follows outlines proposed mitigative data recovery studies for 17 sites located in the Agua Fria and New River Borrow Areas. The contract also includes survey of additional unspecified areas not to exceed 809 ha (2000 acres) and mitigative data recovery at sites located in those areas. The study has been contracted for by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) as part of the Central Arizona Project (CAP) (Contract # 6-CS-30-04250).
