Author(s): J. Scott Courtright; Rebecca J. Hill

Summary
The following report summarizes the results of Phase I data recovery within a portion of AZ U:10:2 (ASM), the Southwest Germann Site, a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-eligible prehistoric site situated near the intersection of Sossaman and Rittenhouse Roads in the town of Queen Creek, Arizona (Figure 1). The Salt River Project (SRP) plans to construct a substation within a rectangular-shaped, 310- by 360-foot area (USGS Higley, Arizona 7.5' 1956/1981). The 2.5-acre Rohrig substation parcel (Parcel) is in an undeveloped but disturbed segment of SRP-owned land. The project is being funded by SRP. Phase I fieldwork was conducted between May 27 and June 10, 2004. Field crew included Scott Courtright, Dave Bild, Brad Santos, Justin Rogers, and Meghann Walker. During fieldwork, a surface reassessment was undertaken and the extent of the artifact scatter within the Parcel was defined. Systematic backhoe trenching was also completed across the entire Parcel and 35 backhoe trenches were excavated (representing 4 percent of the site surface area). As a result of Phase I data recovery, 27 intact buried features—including one cremation and one indeterminate-age ditch—were located and documented within the Parcel (Figure 2). The cremation was excavated according to the terms of the signed burial agreement. All project-related artifacts, notes, photographs, and samples will be curated with SRP.
