Author(s): Matthew H. Bilsbarrow
Year: 1998
Summary
In February and March 1998, Archaeological Research Services, Inc. (ARS) conducted archaeological test excavations in a portion of Site AZ AA:2:131 (ASM) located within the Christensen Road corridor on either side of Pima Lateral Canal Bridge, in Pinal County, Arizona. This investigation, undertaken on behalf of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) (Project No. BRPPN-0(27)P; TRACS No. 0000 PN PPN SB 366 01C), was performed to document the presence or absence, character, and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of cultural remains present at AZ AA:2:131 (ASM) within the proposed project area for the county-funded replacement of the Christensen Road Bridge over the Pima Lateral Canal (ADOT Bridge No. 8211). The proposed undertaking will include removing the existing bridge, placing a new bridge across the canal, and regrading and realigning the existing gravel roadway approaches. It occurs entirely on Pinal County-owned land.
