A Cultural Resource Survey of Wildlife Oases Monitoring Plots Located Along Reaches 6 and 9 of the Granite Reef Aqueduct, Central Arizona Project

Summary

Under contract with the Bureau of Reclamation, the Office of Cultural Resource Management (OCRM), Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University, completed an archaeological survey of Wildlife Oases Monitoring Plots along Reaches 6 and 9 of the Granite Reef Aqueduct. Five monitoring plots were located along each reach. No sites and only 3 isolated occurrences were identified during the survey. Results suggest that the project area was part of a secondary resource zone, an area which apparently did not support a permanent population, but was utilized intermittently, probably on a seasonal basis.
