Archaeological Monitoring of Construction Activities along El Paso Natural Gas Company Pipeline Rights-of-Way across the Gila River below Gillespie Dam, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): Robert B. Neily

Year: 1992

Summary

Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) monitored the realignment of the 1100 and 1103 pipelines across the Gila River below Gillespie Dam. The work was performed to determine if any buried archaeological deposits or features were present within the boundaries of previously recorded sites and to mitigate the effects of the project on such features. The work was conducted at the request of El Paso Natural Gas Company (EPNG) and based on recommendations resulting from the initial survey of the planned construction zone (Neily 1991).

The survey of the construction zone on the west side of the river encountered two widely dispersed, light surface scatters of both prehistoric and historic materials on either side of the Enterprise Canal. These artifacts were considered to be related to the previously recorded site, AZ T: 13:21 (ASM), located to the south (Figure 1). The construction zone on the east side of the river intersected the western portion of an extensive Hohokam village, AZ T:13:18(ASM).
