Archaeological Testing for Prehistoric Canals, Laveen, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): Ronald F. Ryden; Douglas R. Mitchell
Year: 2000
Summary
Archaeological testing was conducted by SWCA, Inc. in an agricultural field near in Laveen, Arizona at the request of Sunny Mesa, Inc. Testing was conducted because there is a known prehistoric site and prehistoric canal in the vicinity of the project area. Previous archaeological research in the area had recorded site AZ T:12:19 (ASU) and Canal Three.
One feature, a prehistoric roasting pit, was found but no evidence of the prehistoric canal or cultural artifacts were observed. Although only one archaeological feature was identified during testing, there is a possibility that other subsurface prehistoric cultural features exist in the project area. If future ground disturbing activities are to occur in the vicinity of the feature, it is recommended that these activities be monitored by a professional archaeologist.
