Summary

In accordance with the provisions of the 2004 Arizona Water Settlement Act, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is assisting the Tohono O’odham Nation’s (Nation) San Xavier District’s (District) Farm Cooperative (CoOp) in developing new farm land along both sides of Interstate 19 located south of the existing CoOp fields. Previous investigations in the area included a survey in the mid-1980s by Cultural and Environmental Systems (Heuett 1987b) and survey and testing completed by Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. in 1999 (Glass 2001), 2005 (Schilling et al. 2005; Stokes and Schilling 2007a), and most recently during the 2011–2012 field season (Schilling et al. 2012). The focus of this project was to conduct supplemental Class III archaeological survey on additional portions of land related to the farm extension, including linkage and distribution pipelines, areas for bank stabilization along the Santa Cruz River, well pads, access roads, and staging areas and develop a treatment plan for mitigation of eligible properties that will be adversely effected by the CoOp farm extension. Fifteen archaeological sites were identified during survey, 11 of which had been previously recorded and 4 of which were newly identified. Two archaeological sites were not relocated.

Coupled with the results of the previous inventory of the CoOp farm extension footprint, 46 sites were identified within the entire project area, 15 of which were determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), 17 of which were determined not eligible for inclusion in the NRHP, and 14 of which determined to require further investigations to evaluate NRHP eligibility. The historic properties treatment plan recommended a mixture of avoidance, monitoring, and Phase 1 data recovery to mitigate adverse effects to historic properties as well as avoidance or eligibility testing for those sites whose NRHP eligibility was unknown.
