Archaeological Testing for the 12th Street Improvement Project, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): John M. Lindly; Douglas R. Mitchell
Year: 2000
Summary
Archaeological testing was conducted by SWCA, Inc. along 12th Street at the request of the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department and the City Archaeologist. Testing was conducted because there is a known prehistoric site and prehistoric canals in the vicinity of the project area. Previous archaeological research in the area had designated a site, AZ T:12:54 (ASM), and discovered three prehistoric Hohokam features.
Eight backhoe trenches were excavated in the project area comprising 266 meters in total length. A prehistoric hearth and fourteen isolated artifacts were found. Although only one archaeological feature was identified during testing, it is possible that additional buried features, including prehistoric irrigation canals, exist in the project area. It is recommended that an archaeologist be present during the street improvement project to monitor ground disturbing activities.
