Archaeological Investigations, Salt River Project, Silverking to Kyrene Transmission Line, Tonto National Forest, Pinal County, Arizona: Final Report for an Archaeological Survey of Tower Anchoring Locations, Pulling Locations, Access Roads, and a Wire Set-up Location for the 500 kV and 230 kV Silverking to Kyrene Transmission Lines, Tonto National Forest, Pinal County, Arizona, A-78-119

Author(s): Steven G. Dosh

Year: 1979

Summary

At the request of Salt River Project, the Museum of Northern Arizona conducted an archaeological survey of Tonto National Forest lands to be impacted by the construction of the Silverking to Kyrene 500 kV and 230 kV transmission lines near Superior, Arizona. The impact areas surveyed consist of tower anchoring locations, pulling locations, access roads, and a wire set-up location. What appeared to be prehistoric check dams were observed at the pulling location and designated site NA15,784. No other archaeological materials or features were observed in the impact areas. Therefore, if the check dams are avoided during construction, archaeological clearance can be recommended for those areas to be impacted.

Two versions of the same report. Version 2 includes an updated survey and results section.
