Archaeological Investigations: Salt River Project Coronado Generating Station, Private Lands, Apache County, Arizona: Final Report for Archaeological Investigations of Proposed Drill Hole Locations in T13N, R28E, Sec. 24, East of St. Johns

Author(s): James E. Bradford

Year: 1975

Summary

At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations in two 200 ft. wide corridors east-northeast of St. Johns, Arizona. Archaeological survey was conducted in order to determine if any archaeological material would be negatively impacted as a result of drilling operations related to tests being conducted for construction of an evaporation pond associated with the Coronado Generating Station plant site. An extensive historic and prehistoric site, NA13,488 - Ariz. Q:7:37 (MNA), was located in and adjacent to the east half of the south corridor. As a result, and due to the need for additional information concerning the site, archaeological clearance is not recommended for that 200 ft. wide, 0.5 mi. long portion of the south corridor. Archaeological clearance is recommended for the 200 ft. wide by 1.25 mi. long corridors along the remaining south and west boundaries.

This file includes a nomination form for the Arizona State Register of Historic Sites.
