Summary

Carter & Burgess, Inc.  (C&B) conducted a Class III,  non collection  cultural  resources survey of approximately  1,346 acres of privately owned  land within the  proposed  Merrill Ranch development,  located  northwest of Florence,  Pinal County, Arizona  (Figure  1). The survey was conducted at the request of Vanguard  Properties as part of ongoing efforts to determine whether significant cultural  resources exist within the Merrill  Ranch development,  prior to the proposed construction  of a  residential  community.  For the purposes of this investigation, the term "cultural  resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological  sites or objects and  potentially significant historic buildings or structures.  Although  not required for survey on  private land,  C&B  holds a  blanket Arizona Antiquities Act permit (2004-22bl)  issued  by the Arizona  State  Museum (ASM).

Report was revised in December 2004. Original report dated June 2004.
