Archaeological Investigations of the Cactus Forest Site (AZ AA:3:214 [ASM]): A Late Classic Period Hohokam Settlement in the Middle Gila River Valley
Editor(s): John T. Marshall
Year: 2009
Summary
Northland Research, Inc., (Northland) has completed Phase II archaeological data recovery within a portion of the Cactus Forest site (AZ AA:3:214[ASM]), located near Cactus Forest, Pinal County, Arizona (Figures 1.1 and 1.2). The work was undertaken in advance of planned improvements to the intersection of State Route 79 (SR 79) and Cactus Forest Road by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Northland performed the work under contract to Jones & Stokes and ADOT. The primary purpose of the investigations was to mitigate adverse effects to portions of AZ AA:3:214(ASM) located along SR 79 north of Cactus Forest Road and slated to be disturbed by construction activities. The work was undertaken because Federal Highway Administration funding for the project required compliance with 36 CFR Part 800, Section 106.
