Cultural Resource Assessment of 13 Archaeological Sites Located in Lake Pleasant Regional Park

Summary

In the mid-1990s, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) completed a survey of Lake Pleasant Regional Park. The survey was undertaken to identify all cultural resources within the Park, which was acquired by Reclamation as part of construction of New Waddell Dam. In the intervening years, the Park has seen continued and increasing recreational use. In the 11 years since it completed the survey of the Park, Reclamation has monitored activity at nine of the 183 sites in the Park with the assistance of the Arizona State Parks Site Steward Program. There has been no opportunity to assess the condition of the remaining prehistoric and historic sites in the Park until recently.

In late 2006, Reclamation requested that Archaeological Consulting Services (ACS) assess the condition of 13 previously identified archaeological sites located in the northeast, north, and northwest portions of the Park. This report documents ACS' assessment of the 13 sites and provides recommendations for future site treatment.
