Archaeological Testing Report in Support of the Reconstruction and Extension of Runway 12L-30R at the Williams Gateway Airport, Mesa, Arizona

Author(s): J. Simon Bruder; Victoria D. Vargas

Year: 1997

Summary

Kimley-Horn and Associates are under contract with the WGAA to provide services for design of the reconstruction and extension of Runway 12L-30R. A number of archaeological sites that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) extend within the construction zone. Therefore, WGAA is required to take into account the potential for its undertakings to affect those archaeological sites under the terms of its lease agreement with the Air Force, and also because the runway renovation is being federally funded (by the Department of Transportation FAA). Dames & Moore is under subcontract to Kimley-Horn and Associates to assist the WGAA by providing cultural resource services in support of the renovation project. The purpose of the testing phase reported here was to determine if subsurface cultural remains are located within the area of potential effect (the construction zone), and, if cultural remains are present, to evaluate their significance and provide recommendations concerning the need for additional investigations.
