A Class III Cultural Resource Survey of Five Alternative Alignments in the South Mountain Freeway Corridor Study Area, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): J. Andrew Darling

Year: 2005

Summary

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) initiated preparation of a new Environmental Impact Statement and Location/Design Concept Report in 2001 to consider alternatives to the findings of the 1988 South Mountain Freeway concept (SMCT 2001). In the summer of 2001, HDR Engineering, Inc. was contracted to provide services in connection with this project. The GRIC-CRMP was subcontracted to provide a Class I cultural resource overview of the study area (Burden 2002) and subsequently to perform a Class III cultural resource survey of any properties requiring archaeological coverage. As an integral part of this effort, the Class III survey was undertaken by the GRIC-CRMP to document cultural resources in the field that might be impacted by future highway construction in the alternative alignments (corridors) and to make management recommendations based on site eligibility.
