Results of Cultural Resource Monitoring During Installation of FAA Runway Status Lights (Shelter 3 and Associated Duct Banks and Conduits) with the Site of Pueblo Salado (AZ T:12:47[ASM]) at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona

Summary

The project involved excavations of trenches at the Sky Harbor International Airport. Areas of ground disturbance for this project included Field Lighting System (FLS) shelters and associated duct banks and conduits. Shelter 3 is located in the western portion of the airport and is partially located within the archaeological site of Pueblo Salado, AZ T:12:47(ASM), a Hohokam village that contains numerous features including adobe structures, pithouses, pit features, cremation and inhumation burials, trash deposits, canals, and reservoirs. Based on the Archaeological Assessment for this project by the City of Phoenix Archaeologist, Dr. Todd Bostwick, dated May 10, 2010, archaeological monitoring of project construction was required. However, previous investigations in the area had determined that due to numerous construction episodes, grading, and infill, the APE was known to be disturbed to a depth of 2 ft below the modern ground surface. Therefore, Dr. Bostwick determined that archaeological monitoring of project-related construction was to be conducted for ground disturbance greater than 2 ft in depth that occurred within the boundaries of Pueblo Salado and within a 250-ft buffer area of its projected boundaries.

ACS conducted monitoring between October 14, 2010 and February 16, 2011. A total of 20 discontinuous person-days were expended in the field for this project. In total, the APE encompassed 0.2 acres. No features were identified during monitoring.
