Author(s): SWCA Environmental Consultants
Year: 2004
Summary
A combined testing and data recovery program was undertaken by SWCA, Inc. between August 25 and September 22, 2000 at AZ BB:9:171 (ASM). Fourteen backhoe trenches totaling approximately 275 linear meters were cut during testing. Seventeen cultural features and six possible features were subsequently identified.
Data recovery involved testing of all seven pithouses that were identified. This was followed by intensive excavation of four of the pithouses as well as four extramural features. The results of investigations indicate that AZ BB:9:171 (ASM) was a hamlet used for temporary habitation and resource procurement during the Rincon phase (ca. AD 950-1150) of the Sedentary Period.
