Archaeological Investigations, Salt River Project, Coronado Generating Station Project, Plant Site and Access Road, Private and State Lands, Apache County, Arizona: Final Report for Archaeological Investigations at the Coronado Generating Station Plant Site and Access Road, A-75-63

Author(s): James E. Bradford

Year: 1979

Summary

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted archaeological investigations for the Salt River Project near St. Johns, Arizona. The excavation of 18 sites yielded architectural, ceramic, and lithic evidence in support of a general Anasazi cultural pattern. Nine sites showed definite ceramic affiliation with the Cibola Anasazi. The entire data base provides much additional information about the prehistory of east-central Arizona, specifically the Upper Little Colorado River Valley.

This is the first of a series of Museum of Northern Arizona reports describing archaeological investigations associated with the Salt River Project (SRP) Coronado Generating Station near St. Johns, Arizona.
