Archaeological Testing in a Portion of the Germann Site (AZ U:10:2 [ASM]) in Queen Creek, Maricopa County, Arizona
Author(s): Chris North; Douglas R. Mitchell; Michael S. Foster

Summary
This document presents the results of archaeological testing within a portion of the Germann Site (AZ U:10:2 [ASM]). The project proponent, VIP Homes, is planning to develop this parcel of private land for single-family housing. Nearly the entire project area falls within the mapped boundary of the Germann Site. However, a previous Class III survey of the project area (North, Solometo, and Mitchell 2001) only identified surface artifacts in the northwest portion of the project area.
The portion of the project area that contains a substantial number of surface artifacts encompasses approximately 13 acres. SWCA conducted archaeological test excavations within this 13-acre portion of the Germann Site to determine whether significant cultural deposits or human remains may be present. Three cultural features—two hornos or roasting pits and one charcoal and ash filled pit—were identified during the testing. This report describes the results of the archaeological testing program.
