Author(s): Lyle M. Stone

Year: 1982

Summary

On August 27, 1982, Lyle M. Stone and James E. Ayres of Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) performed an archaeological survey of an approximately 128 acre parcel of land on the south side of the Salt River near Granite Reef Dam. The study area consists of U. S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management-administered land which has been withdrawn for U. S. Bureau of Reclamation purposes for use by the Salt River Project. Accordingly, this survey was performed under the authority and conditions of U. S. Department of the Interior Antiquities Permit Number 82-AZ-319 issued to ARS on June 30, 1982.

This survey was requested by Salt River Project (SRP) in order to determine if cultural resources were located within the study area which would be affected by the proposed construction and operation of an interconnection between the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal and the SRP water delivery system. The interconnection will include a turnout structure on the CAP canal and a pipeline or lined canal extending between the CAP canal and the Granite Reef Dam forebay and/or South Canal.
