Summary

This is an Arizona Site Steward file for the Whitmore Canyon Area, comprised of U-shaped pueblos and artifact scatters, located on Bureau of Land Management land. The two sites within are comprised of U-shaped stone and adobe pueblos, lithic and sherd scatter, possible rock alignments, a roasting pit, a possible ceremonial structure, and retaining walls.

The file consists of a site data form, two Bureau of Land Management cultural resource site records, maps of the site locations, hand drawn site maps, two pages on Arizona A:11:1 (NPS?) and Arizona A:11:2 (NPS?), a memorandum concerning a publication in 1967 by Gordon C. Baldwin on an archaeological survey of the area, and the first page of this publication. The earliest dated document is from 1967.
