Author(s): Preston C. Payton; David E. Purcell

Year: 1995

Summary

SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants (SWCA), conducted a comprehensive Class III archaeological survey of expanded right-of-way at ten point-of-turn towers as part of ongoing cultural resources compliance for the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission line project. These activities constituted only one phase of cultural resource compliance for this project undertaken by SWCA for Salt River Project (SRP). Other phases relevant to this project include relocation and re-evaluation (Anduze and Sorrel 1994) of sites previously recorded during survey of the Mead to Phoenix project right-of-way (Keller 1986); survey of construction access roads (Purcell and Chadderdon 1995); survey of additional cable pulling towers in Arizona (Purcell 1995a) and Nevada (Seymour and Purcell 1995); excavation of Site AZ M:7:48(ASM) (the Overkill Site) (Anduze, Greenwald, and Walsh-Anduze 1994); and monitoring of eligible archaeological sites during construction (Purcell 1995b).
