Results of Cultural Resources Monitoring of Two Proposed New Fiber Optic Lines and Associated Duct Banks at Sky Harbor International Airport within the Site of Pueblo Salado [AZ T:12:47 (ASM)] Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to install two new fiber optic lines and associated duct banks and manholes at Sky Harbor International Airport. The project’s area of potential effect (APE) extends within the site of Pueblo Salado (AZ T:12:47[ASM]), an extensive Hohokam village that is considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion D. Previous investigations by SWCA, Environmental Consultants (SWCA) in this area of Pueblo Salado uncovered compound loci dating to the Classic and Postclassic periods, as well as numerous inhumations and cremations (Greenwald et al. 1996a, 1996b). Thus, the City of Phoenix recommended monitoring of the entire installation—both within and outside the projected boundaries of the site to ensure the protection of any significant cultural deposits (e.g., human remains) that might be discovered by the construction.

At the request of Mr. Keith Lusk of the FAA, ACS prepared a work plan to monitor the installation (Aguila 2005a). This work plan was an addendum to a previous ACS work plan for monitoring of a new manhole (ESO-1F) and associated duct banks at Sky Harbor International Airport (Aguila 2005b). The work plan was reviewed and approved by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office on August 5, 2005. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurred with a recommendation of “no historic properties affected” provided the work was monitored by a qualified archaeologist. Andrew Bockhorst and Linda Schilling conducted the monitoring over 11 discontinuous days between September 20 and October 11, 2005. The work was performed under the authority of project-permit 2005-094ps issued by the Arizona State Museum (ASM). Two features were documented during the monitoring.
