Archaeological Investigations: Salt River Project Silverking-Kyrene Transmission Line, Tonto National Forest, Pinal County, Arizona: A Research Plan for Three Sites Along the Silverking-to-Kyrene, East End, Transmission Line, Tonto National Forest, Pinal County, Arizona

Author(s): Ronald K. Yablon; Donald E. Weaver, Jr.

Year: 1978

Summary

The research plan outlines a framework for investigating 3 archaeological sites along the Silverking-to-Kyrene, East End, Transmission Line, a part of the Coronado Project. The 3 sites, initially recorded during a recent survey by the Museum of Northern Arizona, are a large lithic scatter associated with linear rock alignments, a possible 1-room structure associated with linear rock alignments, and an abandoned railroad grade. The plan discusses specific means by which the scientific potential of the site can be realized through a program of data recovery designed to fulfill the federal guidelines for determinations of "no adverse effect."

The document includes author resumes, a description of the archaeological contract program at the Museum of Northern Arizona, and a report cover letter addressed to Ms. Bettina H. Rosenberg, Environmental Services Department, Salt River Project.
