The Coronado Project Archaeological Investigations: The Ash Disposal and Evaporation Pond Site

Author(s): Eileen Camilli

Year: 1981

Summary

The Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological investigation and mitigation program near St. Johns, Arizona, in an area proposed as the site for ash disposal and evaporation pond facilities associated with the Coronado generating station, then under construction. The archaeological survey located 33 sites, including Archaic and Pueblo period camps and residences, stone quarry locations, and several historic period sites. An attempt is made to place all sites within a broad temporal framework. The material culture of every site is examined, with aspects of each artifact assemblage measured and described. Analysis of the chipped stone artifacts focuses on the organization of prehistoric stone tool technologies. Results of the study are recommendations for archaeological clearance of all 33 sites.
