The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: The Concho Well Field Water Transmission Pipeline

Author(s): Sara Stebbins

Year: 1980

Summary

The Concho Well Field Water Transmission Pipeline, constructed by the Salt River Project, originates in the Concho Well Fields just north of Concho, Arizona, and extends to the Coronado Generating Station Power Plant three miles north of St. Johns, Arizona. The pipeline route either impinges upon or crosses 15 prehistoric and historic sites, including two possible Archaic or Basketmaker lithic sites and two Spanish-American homesteads. These four sites provide the basis for most of the analysis and interpretation presented, drawing from the greater amount and diversity of artifactual material recovered from them. A discussion of settlement patterns found in the floodplain and on the first terraces of primary and secondary drainages considers the site type and location of all 15 sites recorded.
