Excavations in the Santa Cruz River Floodplain: The Middle Archaic Component at Los Pozos

Editor(s): David A. Gregory

Year: 1999

Summary

The Middle Archaic remains reported here are a component of a larger distribution designated as AZ AA:12:91(ASM) in the Arizona State Museum Site Survey system and named Los Pozos. The site was investigated in anticipation of impacts from proposed Arizona Department of Transportation improvements to the Interstate 10 corridor in the Tucson metropolitan area (Mabry 1993b; Preface to this volume). In addition to the spatially restricted Middle Archaic remains, the site includes an extensive Early Agricultural period component; the site name derives from several prehistoric wells associated with this later component (Gregory, ed. 1999).
