A Supplemental Class III Archaeological Survey of the Phase A, Reach 3 Corridor, Tucson Aqueduct, Central Arizona Project: Late Sedentary and Early Classic Period Tucson Basin Hohokam Occupation in the Lower Santa Cruz River Basin, Marana to Rillito, Arizona

Author(s): Jon S. Czaplicki; Adrianne G. Rankin

Year: 1984

Summary

Approximately 600 acres of additional right-of-way in Reach 3 were surveyed in late 1983 and early 1984. Fourteen new sites were identified, of which nine received ASM site numbers. The remaining five sites were not given an ASM site number, but merit reevaluation for assignment of a site number. This supplemental survey has altered considerably an earlier view of prehistoric occupation in Reach 3 that resulted from the original 1982 survey of the reach. Reach 3 now appears to pass through a habitation zone associated with the Nelson’s Ranch platform mound site and also with many large agricultural field sites that cover the bajada slopes east of the right-of-way. The primary occupation of Reach 3 appears to belong to the Tanque Verde phase of the early Classic period of the Tucson Basin Hohokam; however, there is evidence for occupation dating from the late Colonial period up to the early Classic period.
