Summary

This report presents the results of archaeological monitoring during ground disturbing activities for the installation of approximately 12 linear meters of block fence. The project involved the excavation of two trenches, one averaging 0.33 m wide by 13.75 m long by 0.29 m deep, and the other measuring 0.39 m wide by 1.25 m long by 0.29 m deep. The trenches were expanded in 7 locations to accommodate pilasters. The pilaster footers ranged in area from 0.12 m2 to 0.4 m2 and depths from 0.32 m to 0.53 m. The property is located partially within the prehistoric village of Las Moradas, AZ T:12:3(ASM) and partially within the 250-ft-wide buffer zone surrounding the site. An unnamed canal is projected north of the property. LSD was requested to monitor ground-disturbing activities because of these cultural resources. Five plain ware sherds were recorded during monitoring, but no archaeological features were identified within the trench profiles.
