Archaeological and Geoarchaeological Investigations Along the Santa Cruz River Floodplain: The Pima County Plant Interconnect Project

Editor(s): Douglas B. Craig

Year: 2011

Summary

This document summarizes the results of a phased archaeological data recovery program along a narrow pipeline corridor between the Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department’s existing Roger Road and Ina Road facilities. The work was conducted by Northland Research, Inc. prior to the installation of a new gravity-flow sewer line connecting the two wastewater facilities. Northland’s Pima County Plant Interconnect Project (PCPIP) investigated seven archaeological sites that have been determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D (information potential). The investigations were designed to document, collect, and analyze data from those portions of the sites that fell within the pipeline corridor.
