Technical Proposal for Archaeological Data Recovery Along the Coronado Coal Haul Railroad at Site AZ:Q:2:35 (ASM), Apache County, Arizona
Author(s): SWCA Environmental Consultants
Year: 1991
Summary
Site AZ Q:2:35 (ASM) was originally recorded as a sherd and lithic scatter during an earlier survey of the proposed expanded right-of-way (ROW) of the Salt River Project (SRP) Coronado Coal Haul Railroad (Neily and Irwin 1990). At the request of SRP, SWCA, Inc. Environmental Consultants, initiated testing at the site using systematic backhoe trenching (Boden 1991). Archaeological testing identified six subsurface features, including five pits and one concentration of burned sandstone. None of the features were identified as related to or consisting of structures, although in trench profile some may represent only small exposures of a pit structure. While the pits and concentrated burned sandstone may appear to contain limited research potential, their presence at this location may be related to agricultural activities. This notion is supported by the sequence of soils present at the site and comparisons with other nearby areas. Activities at the site appear to be limited in scope but may be of a specific nature, related to agricultural production and harvesting and to resource processing and storage.
