Archaeological Clearance Investigations: Archaeological Investigations of AZ U:11:23, A Special Purpose Site Along Queen Creek, Arizona

Author(s): Dave Batcho; Glen Rice

Year: 1978

Summary

AZ U:11:23 is a small sherd and lithic scatter within the right-of-way of a 500 kV power transmission line planned by the Salt River Project. The right-of-way extends from the boundary of the Tonto National Forest northeast of Florence to the existing Kyrene substation south of Tempe, Arizona and was reported by Antieau (1977). This site was initially located during that survey and listed as Field Numher 128. Since the locus was on land belonging to the Bureau of Land Management, it was not collected by Antieau in compliance with the Bureau's regulation against surface collections during surveys.

Subsequent to completion of Antieau's report, Bettina Rosenberg of the Salt River Project requested the Office of Cultural Resource Management, Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University, to proceed with an investigation of the site. The work was conducted by Dave Batcho, a graduate student in the Department of Anthropology, on March 31, 1978, under an antiquities permit from the Bureau of Land Management. The findings of that research are reported here. A review of the archaeological background and region of the study area can be found in Antieau (1977:1-7).
